Students who experienced anemia were 27 people (67.5%) and did not experience anemia, namely 13 people (32.5%) And from the chi-square trial, a p value =(0.011 ≤α = 0.05) was obtained, from respondents who had heavy physical activity and anemia, namely 27 people (67.5%) and light physical activity who did not experience anemia, namely 13 people (32.5%), and from the chi-square test, a p value = (0.031 ≤α = 0.05) was obtained, from respondents who experienced an inappropriate diet who experienced anemia, namely 27 people (67.5%) and an appropriate diet who did not experience anemia that is, as many as 13 people (32.5%). And from the Chi-Square test, the P value = (0.013 ≤α = 0.05) was obtained from respondents who had abnormal menstruation for 27 people (67.5%) and normal menstrual periods who did not have anemia as many as 13 (32.5%).
