“…Apabila zat besi yang digunakan buat pertumbuhan kurang dari yang dihasilkan tubuh, maka akan menyebabkan anemia (Ha et al, 2016). Kejadian ini akan menyebabkan menghambat perkembangan kecerdasan otak (Georgieff, 2017), penurunan konsentrasi belajar (Al Hassan, 2015), dan mengganggu pertumbuhan fisik (Labib et al, 2018), serta meningkatkan risiko menderita infeksi karena penurunan daya tahan tubuh (Ganz et al, 2020).…”

The main cause is due to food intake that lacks nutrients that can increase blood Hb levels. Anemia in school children can cause fatigue, lethargy, sleepiness, decreased concentration in learning which results in decreased learning achievement. This study aims to determine the description of food intake, anemia status, and learning achievement in young women of SMP Negeri 1 Parangloe, Gowa in 2019. This type of research is a descriptive study with a sample of 97 people. To find out the food intake of students, the 24-hour recall method was used, while the Cyanmethemoglobin method was used to measure Hb levels, and to measure their learning achievement was done by recording the average results of report cards. The results showed that 30.9% of female students suffered from anemia, 43.3% of female students with less energy intake, 28.9% with less protein intake, 44.3% with less iron intake, 58.8% with vitamin A intake is lacking, 56.7% with less vitamin C intake, 45.4% with less zinc intake. Regarding learning achievement, there are 23.7% of adolescent students with poor learning achievement. Seeing that there are still students with low academic achievement in SMP Negeri 1 Parangloe Gowa, it is recommended for students in addition to improving their learning, also increasing the consumption of foods rich in iron, protein, vitamin C, vitamin A, and zinc to prevent anemia which affects the learning achievement.

BackgroundDespite all efforts, iron deficiency anemia remains a serious public health problem among Brazilian children.ObjectiveTo evaluate dietary iron intake and dietary practices that interfere with the absorption of this nutrient from three regions of Brazil.MethodsBrazil Kids Nutrition and Health Study is a cross-sectional dietary intake study in children aged 4–13.9 years old designed to investigate nutrient intakes and gaps of Brazilian children in a representative sample of households from Northeast, Southeast and South regions. Nutrient intake was assessed based on multiple-pass 24-h dietary recall and U.S. National Cancer Institute method was used to estimate usual micronutrients intakes and compliance with Dietary Reference Intakes.ResultsFive hundred sixteen individuals participated in the study (52.3% male). The top three most consumed food sources of iron were products of plant origin. Food sources of animal origin contributed with <20% of the total iron intake. Vitamin C intake was adequate, but the concomitant consumption of food sources of vitamin C with plant food sources of iron was not common. On the other hand, the concomitant intake of plant food sources of iron with food sources of iron chelators (e.g., coffee and teas) was frequent.ConclusionsAdequate iron intake was observed in all three regions in Brazil. Children's diet showed low iron bioavailability and insufficient consumption of food sources of iron absorption stimulants. Frequent presence of iron chelators and inhibitors of iron absorption might help to explain the high prevalence of iron deficiency in the country.
