Based on the results of the Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) in 2018, adolescent girls are one of the groups prone to suffering from anemia, it was reported that the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls nationally was 48.9 percent, this figure has increased compared to 2013 which was 37,1 percent.The greatest proportion of anemia occurs in the 15-24 years age group, and 25 to 34 years. Iron Deficiency Anemia that occurs in this vulnerable group is caused by the increased need for iron, the amount of iron absorbed is very small, insufficient iron intake is due to the low bioavalability of iron-containing foods, the period of menstruation, and periods of rapid growth.Objectives:1.
