Objective: The aim of this study was to examine a retrospective analysis of adolescent lifestyle and its association with the incidence of anemia in pregnant women. Methods: This research employed a quantitative method with a descriptive analytic approach using a case-control design. Secondary data were used, obtained from questionnaires regarding the adolescent lifestyle of first-time pregnant women (primigravida), focusing on physical activity, rest patterns, eating habits, and menstrual patterns. Results: The sample consisted of 30 respondents, and the validity test showed that all instruments used were valid.The Chi-Square statistical test results showed a P-value = 0.008, indicating a significant association between physical activity and the incidence of anemia in pregnant women.Another Chi-Square test result showed a P-value = 0.024, indicating a significant association between rest patterns and anemia incidence. A P-value = 0.001 was found for the relationship between eating patterns and anemia, and a P-value = 0.004 for the association between menstrual patterns and anemia incidence in pregnant women. Conclusion: This study is expected to help pregnant women understand the contributing factors of anemia and encourage preventive efforts from an early age to reduce anemia risk in their children.
