Anemia occurs more often in women than men. The factor that causes anemia in adolescent girls is irregular menstrual cycles (Suparji, 2017). WHO states that globally the prevalence of anemia in women aged 15 years and over is 28%. The prevalence of anemia among children aged 5-12 in Indonesia is 26%, among women aged 13-18 it is 23%.
