According to WHO in 2019 and Basic Health Research in 2018, 44.20% and 48.90% of pregnant women in Indonesia were anemic. In 2019 there were 18.10% and 11.20% respectively of pregnant women who were anemic in West Sumatra Province and Padang City. Macro and micronutrient deficiencies as well as poor eating habits were the main causes of anemia in pregnancy. A trustworthy sign to detect iron deficiency anemia was the ferritin level.</em></p><p><strong><em>Objectives: </em></strong><em>This research aimed to determine the association between protein, zinc, and vitamin A consumption with ferritin level in third trimester of pregnancy.</em></p><p><strong><em>Methods: </em></strong><em>This analytical cross-sectional research was held in Lubuk Kilangan Health Center and the Biomedical Laboratory of Andalas University on November 2021-July 2022. The subject were 64 third trimester pregnant women. Protein, zinc, and vitamin A consumption were obtained by the SQ-FFQ questionnaire and the ferritin levels were examined by ELISA method. Normality test used Kolmogorov Smirnov. The bivariate and multivariate analysis used Pearson correlation and linear regression (p &lt;0,05).</em></p><p><strong><em>Results: </em></strong><em>The mean level of protein, zinc, and vitamin A consumption were 92.56 g, 7.35 mg and 824.98 µgRE and ferritin level 16.26 µg/L. Protein (p=0.001; r=0.771), zinc (p=0.001; r=0.428) and vitamin A consumption (p=0.001; r=0.531) were significantly associated with ferritin levels. The linear regression test revealed protein consumption was the most associated factor with ferritin levels (p = 0.001; β= 0.598).</em></p><p><strong><em>Conclusions: </em></strong><em>There was a significant association of protein, zinc, and vitamin A consumption with ferritin levels in third trimester of pregnancy. </em><em>N</em><em>utritional education about the types and roles of nutrients </em><em>should be given to p</em><em>regnant women </em><em>i</em><em>n the antenatal class </em><em>to </em><em>prevent anemia and iron deficiency.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong>KEYWORD</strong><strong><em>: </em></strong><em><em>ferritin; </em></em><em>p</em><em>rotein; pregnancy; <em>vitamin A consumption; </em><em>zinc</em></em><em></em></p><script type="text/javascript" src="chrome-extension://lopnbnfpjmgpbppclhclehhgafnifija/aiscripts/t.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="chrome-extension://lopnbnfpjmgpbppclhclehhgafnifija/aiscripts/script-main.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="chrome-extension://lopnbnfpjmgpbppclhclehhgafnifija/aiscripts/t.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="chrome-extension://lopnbnfpjmgpbppclhclehhgafnifija/aiscripts/script-main.js"></script>
