Abstract

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.
