“…If the production of FSH and LH is disturbed, the menstrual pattern will be disrupted. According to Grooms et al (2013), adolescents have an increased risk of anemia due to rapid growth and increased muscle mass. Students with heavy menstrual bleeding are at greater risk of developing anemia.…”

Anemia can be related to several factors, including knowledge, body mass index, and menstrual patterns. Adolescent girls are a high-risk group who experience anemia. This study aims to analyze the hemoglobin levels of adolescent girls about knowledge, body mass index, and patterns menstrual. Information on the relationship between hemoglobin levels and these factors expects to be a reference for strategies to overcome anemia in adolescent girls. The sample of this research is the students of Martapura Indonesia vocational high school, totaling 45 people. Data collection includes weight and height measurements, hemoglobin examination (using Easy Touch GCHb), and questionnaires. Data analysis used bivariate analysis of chi-square test with 0.05 with 95% confidence degree. Results Respondents had fewer hemoglobin levels 47%, normal 53%. The body mass index value of respondents is less than 85%, normal 13%, excess 2%. The respondent's menstrual pattern obtained 26% abnormal data, 74% normal data. Knowledge of anemia of respondents with enough category 34%, good category 66%. The conclusion is that there is no relationship between hemoglobin levels and body mass index (p-value 0.281), menstrual patterns (p-value 0.073), and knowledge of anemia (p-value 0.402) in adolescent girls. Hemoglobin levels may more influence by the consumption pattern of foods containing iron, so it recommends that young women consume more iron-rich foods and avoid the simultaneous consumption of substances that inhibit their absorption, such as tea and coffee.

“…For example, adolescents may have difficulty quantifying their iron intake due to a poor understanding of which foods are iron rich, what constitutes an adequate serving size, and more erratic eating schedules compared to older women. 22 Physical activity questions may need to specifically focus on the types of activities in which adolescent women participate. The study of IDA and food insecurity by EicherMiller in 12-to 15-year-old adolescents used only the 8 childspecific questions, which are part of the larger 18-item FSSM used in our analysis.…”

Background: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) affects 2%-5% of reproductive-age women. Screening is based on risk factors, such as a low-iron diet and menstruation. However, published IDA risk factors fail to consider agerelated risks specific to adolescent women, potentially limiting identification of high-risk adolescents for objective testing. The goal of the study was to examine IDA risk factors in a nationally representative sample of younger (12-21 years) and older (22-49 years) reproductive-age women. Materials and Methods: Data were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003-2010. IDA was defined using hemoglobin, ferritin, soluble transferrin receptor, standard NHANES laboratory measures. Sex-, age-, and race-specific hemoglobin values defined anemia. Iron deficiency was calculated using ferritin and soluble transferrin receptor in the body iron formula. Logistic regression assessed the association of potential risk factors (race, body mass index, poverty, iron intake, tobacco/nicotine exposure, physical activity, menses, and contraceptive use) with IDA in younger and older women. Results: The prevalence of IDA was 2.4% and 5.5% among younger and older women, respectively. Among younger women, contraceptive use was marginally protective from IDA (risk ratio 0.50, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.25-1.00). Among older women, significant variables included Black race (risk ratio 2.31, 95% CI 1.33-4.02) and increased years menstruating ( ‡25 years vs. <25 years; risk ratio 1.93, 95% CI 0.99-3.76). Conclusions: Risk factors for IDA among older reproductive-age women do not apply to adolescent women. To better inform the timing and frequency of screening recommendations, further research must identify adolescent-specific IDA risk factors.

Adolescents are a group that is at risk of developing anemia caused by a lack of iron in the body due to various triggering factors, including monthly menstruation and an unhealthy lifestyle. Anemia in adolescents can result in decreased immunity, decreased concentration, and decreased appetite. The long-term impact, when they are adults and pregnant will be at risk of experiencing anemia in pregnancy and giving birth to babies with LBW or premature. Therefore it is necessary to have an understanding of anemia and how to detect signs and symptoms that appear so that adolescents can immediately overcome the problems they face. The target of this activity is young women at the Bina Insani Depok Halfway House. The purpose of this activity is to increase knowledge about anemia and how to detect signs and symptoms of anemia. The number of participants was 39 young women. The method used is the provision of health education with lectures, questions and answers, discussions, demonstrations, and re-demonstrations. Before the implementation of the activity, a pre-test was carried out and after that a post-test was carried out using a questionnaire. The results showed an increase in knowledge of 38.86% and 82% psychomotor in young women regarding how to do early detection of signs and symptoms of anemia. This shows the provision of health education using a variety of effective methods to improve knowledge and psychomotor.
