Nutritional anemia generally occurs in women of reproductive age and children. This situation has the greatest overall effect in terms of health problems. Iron deficiency anemia is prone to occur in young women due to the increased need for iron during their infancy. The proportion of Chronic Energy Deficiency (KEK) in pregnant women in Sukawati District in 2017 was 34 mothers and in 2018 increased to as many as 40 pregnant women experiencing KEK, while the proportion of KEK in adolescent girls was not yet available. Likewise with the Proportion of Anemia in young women there is no data yet. Therefore, the servants will carry out Hb examination and measurement of LILA (Upper Arm Circumference) on young women in Sukawati sub-district, Gianyar Regency. The purpose of the Community Service is to provide counseling on nutrition, especially in the prevention of Anemia and KEK as well as examining hemoglobin levels in young women in Sukawati District, Gianyar Regency. The method used to achieve the objectives of community service is the method of lecture, discussion and examination of Hb levels and measurement of MUAC.Examination of hemoglobin levels was performed to determine the anemia status of the target. The average Hb level was 12.85 g / dl while the lowest value was 9.1 g / dl while the highest was 14.6 g / dl. Of the 50 targets examined found 14 targets (28%) anemia and 36 targets (72%) were not anemic. Determination of KEK status is done by measuring the target upper arm circumference (MUAC). Of the 50 targets measured there were 17 targets (34%) experienced KEK and 33 targets (66%) did not experience KEK. The conclusion of this community service counseling about Anemia and KEK in the prevention of anemia and KEK has succeeded in increasing good knowledge to be above 50%, Adolescent girls who have anemia by 28%, Adolescent girls who experience chronic Less Energy (KEK) by 34% in Sukawati District Gianyar RegencyKeywords: Anemia, Chronic Energy Deficiency, Adolescent Girls
Women workers are included in the group of women of childbearing age who are prone to health problems due to the low intake of nutrients consumed. The low intake of nutrients consumed and the bleeding experienced during menstruation can affect hemoglobin levels and productivity in workers. The health problem that is often experienced by female workers is anemia. Anemia is a condition where the level of hemoglobin in the blood is below the normal value. This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of consumption of micronutrients (iron, zinc, folic acid, and vitamin C) with the incidence of anemia in female workers at Mall Badung. The research design used was cross-sectional with a sample of 35 female workers at Mall. The data taken were Hb levels using the easy touch tool, and food intake data obtained using a 24-hour recall form. Data analysis used the Pearson Product Moment Correlation and Spearman Rank Correlation tests. The results showed that the proportion of anemia was 22,9%. The average Hb level obtained was 13,8 g/dL. The average level of consumption of iron (86,2%), zinc (80,6%), folic acid (84,9%), and vitamin C (93,7%). Based on the results of the correlation test showed that there was a significant relationship between the level of iron consumption (p-value = 0,000), folic acid (p-value = 0,009), and vitamin C (p-value = 0,026) with the incidence of anemia in female workers and there was no relationship between levels of consumption of zinc (p-value = 0,601) with the incidence of anemia in female workers..
Based on Riskesdas, 2018 shows that the prevalence of anemia in women of childbearing age (WUS) in Indonesia is 23.7% with anemia sufferers aged 5-14 years of 26.8%, anemia sufferers aged 15-24 years of 32.0%, anemia sufferers aged 25- 34 years of 15.1% and anemia sufferers aged 35-44 years of 16.7%. The prevalence of anemia in women of childbearing age (WUS) in Bali based on the 2013 Riskesdas results was 10.8 % . The World Health Organization (WHO) targets to reduce anemia by 50 percent by 2025 in women of reproductive age (WUS) aged 15-49 years. In Bali, research on the prevalence of anemia in adolescents, to the best of the knowledge of the authors, is still very minimal. According to the results of the study showed that 11.4 % of subjects experienced anemia. Subjects with energy and protein intake were in the less category, namely 37.1 % and 50%. The subject's intake of vitamins and micronutrients was still lacking, namely vitamin B2 of 72.9%, zinc 68.6%, iron 92.9%, and folic acid 90% and most of the subjects (68.6%) intake of vitamin C was included in the category good.
