Abstract
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), anemia cases in adolescent girls reached 53.7%. RISKESDAS data in 2018 also showed an increase in anemia cases in adolescents aged 15-24 years by 18.4% to 48.9%. Anemia is a health disorder that is prone to occur in adolescent girls due to lack of hemoglobin in the body. This study aims to determine and analyze the relationship between anemia in adolescent girls and micronutrient intake. The method used was a literature review, critically reviewing previously published findings from Pubmed and Science Direct with certain inclusion criteria. The results showed that the intake of certain micronutrients such as iron, zinc, vitamin B12, vitamin B6, and copper had a significant association with the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls. The association between one or more micronutrients related to iron formation and absorption can lead to anemia. Iron, as the main component in the formation of hemoglobin, can interfere with the absorption of hemoglobin if it does not occur properly.In conclusion, micronutrient intake affects the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls. Impaired absorption and formation between nutrients can interfere with hemoglobin formation, causing anemia.
