<p><strong>Background: </strong>Adolescents are a group that is prone to anemia. Anemia is defined as a lower than normal haemoglobin level. The prevalence of anemia in adolescents in Indonesia is the highest at the age group of 15-24 years, 32%. The most common cause of anemia is lack of nutrients needed for erythrocyte synthesis. Substances that play a role in haemolysis are protein, vitamins (folic acid, vitamin B12, vitamin C and vitamin E), and minerals (Fe and Cu). </p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>To analyse the intake of protein and iron expected incidence of anemia in adolescent girls. </p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This study used a systematic review method. The databases used to conduct this research are Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Portal Garuda and Google Scholar. The keywords used in Indonesian are <em>"Anemia", "Remaja", "Asupan Gizi" </em>or <em>"Nutrisi", "Protein", "Fe" </em>or <em>"Zat besi"</em> and in English are <em>"Anemia", "Adolescent", “Nutritional Intake”, “Ferrous Sulfate”</em> OR <em>“Protein”</em> </p><p><strong>Results: </strong>From several articles that have been reviewed, it is shown that protein intake and Fe (iron) intake of adolescents related to anemia are associated with the incidence of anemia experienced by adolescents. A good protein intake will affect haemoglobin levels in adolescent girls. In addition, intake of Fe (iron) will also affect haemoglobin levels in adolescents. </p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>intake of protein and iron will affect haemoglobin levels in adolescents. </p>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
