Abstract

Anemia is a condition of hemoglobin levels less than normal, which is prone to occur in adolescent girls due to the menstrual cycle that occurs every month. In addition, dietary habits also affect hemoglobin levels of adolescent girls. Dietary habits are also influenced by nutritional knowledge and social support from their peers. This study aims to determine the association between nutritional knowledge and social support on the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls. This study is an observational analytical study using the cross-sectional method, with 12 respondents (total sampling) grade 7, 8, and 9 at Junior High School Alam Lampung. Data collection of nutrition knowledge and social support was carried out by filling out questionnaires by respondents, while blood capillaries sampling for hemoglobin measurement were done by researchers using hemoglobin meters. The results of the study found that the average Hb respondents were 13.5mg / dl, there were 2 respondents (16.7%) who had anemia, as many as 6 respondents had good nutritional knowledge (50%), and as many as 7 people (58.3%) had good social support. There was no significant association between the incidence of anemia and nutritional knowledge (p value: 0.12) or social support (p value: 0.79).
