The Effect of Protein Intake and Iron (Fe) to The Hemoglobin in Women Working. Anemia is a condition where the hemoglobin (Hb) is lower than the normal value according to age and sex of a person caused by certain factors, including intake of nutrients one protein and iron, with the percentage of women in Indonesia who have anemia amounted to 23,9%. The high prevalence is thought to be associated with low intake of protein and iron in women. This study aimed to measure the effect of protein intake and iron (Fe) to the hemoglobin in women working. This analytical study used cross-sectional design with 69 samples of working women conducted in Panteraja Sub-district Pidie Jaya District, in November-December 2016. Research variable that is protein and iron intake was measured used 24-hour recall in 2 days, and hemoglobin level was examined by easy touch. Data analysis is univariate and bivariate using Pearson correlation test. The results showed a significant influence of protein intake (p=0,000 and r=0,7) and iron intake (p=0,000 and r=0,6) on Hb levels in women working in Panteraja District with strong and patterned strength positive. It can be concluded that the intake of protein and iron has a strong effect on the increase of Hb level, that is the increase of protein and iron intake Hb level in woman work increasingly.

Anemia merupakan kondisi dimana kadar hemoglobin (Hb) lebih rendah daripada nilai normal menurut umur dan jenis kelamin seseorang yang disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor tertentu, termasuk asupan zat gizi salah satunya protein dan zat besi, dengan persentase di Indonesia wanita yang mengalami anemia berjumlah 23,9%. Tingginya prevalensi tersebut diduga berkaitan dengan rendahnya asupan protein dan zat besi pada wanita. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengukur pengaruh asupan protein dan zat besi (Fe) terhadap kadar hemoglobin pada wanita bekerja. Penelitian analitik ini menggunakan desain Crossectional dengan 69 sampel wanita bekerja yang dilakukan di Kecamatan Panteraja Kabupaten Pidie Jaya, pada November-Desember 2016. Variabel penelitian yaitu asupan protein dan zat besi diukur menggunakan recall 24 jam selama 2 hari, dan kadar hemoglobin dilakukan pemeriksaan menggunakan easy touch. Analisa data yaitu univariat dan bivariat menggunakan uji korelasi pearson. Hasil penelitian menunjukan pengaruh signifikan antara asupan protein (p=0,000 dan r=0,7) dan asupan zat besi (p= 0,000 dan r= 0,6) terhadap kadar Hb pada wanita bekerja di Kecamatan Panteraja dengan kekuatan hubungan yang kuat dan berpola positif. Dapat disimpulkan, bahwa asupan protein dan zat besi berpengaruh kuat terhadap peningkatan kadar Hb, yaitu semakin meningkat asupan protein dan zat besi maka kadar Hb pada wanita bekerja semakin meningkat.
