Data analysis using a computer program. The results showed that the female adolescents in SMAS PGRI 2 Banjarmasin who did not experience anemia were (70.7%) while the female adolescents who had anemia were (29.3%). There is a relationship between BMI and the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls p-value 0.023 (<0.05), there is a relationship between MUAC and the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls p-value 0.012 (<0.05), there is a relationship between diet and the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls p-value 0.021 (<0.05), there is a relationship between menstrual patterns with the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls p-value 0.026 (<0.05).

Relationship Between Knowledge And Size Of Muac With Anemia In Female Adolescents

“…Based on the results of the Chi square test described in table 4, a p-value of 0.045 was obtained (p-value <0.05), so it was concluded that there was a significant relationship between MUAC size and the incidence of anemia in female adolescent in Dawungsari Village, Cilawu Health Center Working Area Garut in 2023. The results of this study support the results of the study Ina et al (2018); Sari et al (2022);and Vaira et al (2022).

The opposite result was shown by the research of Ina et al (2018); Sari et al (2022);and Vaira et al (2022); who got the result that there is a relationship between MUAC and the incidence of anemia. In addition, research (Ahankari et al, 2020) shows that there is a relationship between MUAC and hemoglobin levels.…”
