Abstract
Anemia in pregnancy remains a significant public health burden in Nigeria and is a major contributor to maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Despite routine antenatal care (ANC) services, substantial gaps persist between awareness, knowledge, risk perception, and preventive behaviors. This study assessed knowledge, risk perception, preventive practices, and their determinants among pregnant women attending ANC in Ilorin Metropolis, Nigeria.
