Background: Anemia occurs due to the body's loss of red blood cells and decreased iron absorption. Globally, it is known that the prevalence of anemia is 1.62 billion, with the majority of anemia sufferers being a group of women who are not pregnant, as many as 468.4 million people. In addition, the highest prevalence of anemia in the group of school-age girls is 47.4%, while in men, only 12.7%. Objective: This study aims to determine the correlation between macronutrients and nutritional status with the anemia accident in adolescents at Islamic Boarding schools. Methods: This study used a case-control design with matching criteria aged 15-19 years, not menstruating, not fasting. Sampling with quota sampling of late adolescents with a population of 15-19 years 1,359 people, anemic case sample of 46 people and control without anemia 46 people, intake questionnaire using the SQ-FFQ, statistical test with Chi-Square. Results: There was a significant relationship between macronutrient intake [energy p=0.048; protein p=0.036;] and nutritional status [p=0.024;] with anemia incidence. Less energy intake has a risk of 3.3 times anemia, lack of protein intake has a risk of 3.98 times, and malnutrition has a risk of anemia of 5.35 times. Conclusions: There was a significant correlation between energy, protein intake, and nutritional status with anemia incidents. Nutritional status has the strongest association with anemia.
Background: Malnutrition both overweight and malnutrition in children and adolescents often occur in developing countries. At this time many factors affect the nutritional status of adolescents including physical activity, psychological aspects (body image) and sleep duration. Objective: This study aims to determine the risk factors associated with the nutritional status of teaching-students at the University of Darussalam Gontor. Method: This research is an observational survey research with cross-sectional study design. Research subjects were 94 teaching-students 18-21 years old at the University of Darussalam Gontor For Girls. Statistical tests use the Gamma correlation test to determine the relationship between independent variables and dependent variables. The results of this study indicate that there was a significant correlation between body image and nutritional status (p = 0.030) and there was no significant correlation between physical activity (p = 0.385) and sleep duration (p = 0.156) with nutritional status.
Anemia is the occurrence of a lack of red blood cells and not sufficient psychological needs. Adolescent girls are a group that is prone to anemia. Folate and vitamin E are micronutrients that have a role in preventing anemia. Young women in islamic modern boarding schools have less controlled intake due to favorite factors or even the density of activities, so micronutrient intake is not fulfilled. This study aims to determine the relationship between folate and vitamin E with the incidence of anemia in adolescents in modern boarding schools. This study used an observational analytic method with a case-control study design. The results of this study was that there was a significant correlation between folate intake and anemia (p=0.000) and there was no significant relationship between vitamin E intake and anemia (p=0.099). Conclusion: Folate was associated with the incidence of anemia and vitamin E was not associated with anemia. Although there are many other factors that cause anemia in adolescents, the fulfillment of folate and vitamin E intake is still important and must be considered.
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.
