Nutritional support was required at a higher concentration in the preconception period than in the earlier period. However, awareness about preconception nutrition remains low. Sociodemographic factors are thought to be related to preconception nutritional readiness. Objective, to identify the factors that influence preconception nutritional readiness in prospective brides. Method, this cross-sectional study was conducted from August to December 2023 and involved 111 prospective brides in Bantul Regency. Data collected included socio-demographic data and preconception nutritional readiness, measured by 10 indicators, including nutritional status, hemoglobin (Hb) level, nutrients intake, preconception nutrition knowledge, and iron and/or folate supplement consumption. Hemoglobin level were determined by Hb examination at the Community Health Center, whereas dietary and supplement intake were measured using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (SQ-FFQ). Data were analyzed using the chi-square test with statistical significance set at p-value <0,05. Results, the majority of subjects could only fulfill the five indicators of preconception nutrition readiness. Knowledge, calcium and folate intake were the lowest 3 indicators that could be met (<40%). There was no significant relationship between socio-demographic factors, educational history, and preconception nutritional readiness (p>0,05).  In conclusion, socio-demographic factors, and education had no association with preconception nutritional readiness in prospective brides.
