There was an increase in the prevalence of anemia in Indonesian young women from 37.1% (2013) to 48.9% (2018), this is based on the 2018 Riskesdas statistics, with the highest rates seen for the age range 15-24 and 25-34 years. There are several factors that cause ADB including age, diet, socio-economic, and lack of knowledge and poor preventive behavior about Iron Deficiency Anemia. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge and the behavior of preventing the incidence of Iron Deficiency Anemia in female students of the Faculty of Medicine, Islamic University of Bandung. This study used an analytic observational method with a cross sectional design. The sample in the study was selected by purposive sampling method. The data obtained will then be processed and analyzed using the chi-square test and Fisher's Exatc correlation. The results of the study from 131 samples who had a high level of knowledge had also a high prevention behavior with a proportion of 35.1%. However, the highest percentage was in respondents with a moderate level of knowledge and had a prevention level of 49.6%. The results of statistical analysis using the Fisher's Exatc correlation test were obtained (p = 0.000) that obtained a relationship between the level of knowledge and the level of prevention behavior of Iron Deficiency Anemia (p <0.05). The conclusion drawn from this study is that there is a relationship between the level of knowledge and the behavior of preventing the incidence of Iron Deficiency Anemia in FK UNISBA female students.
