Abstract

Background: Anemia is a global health issue affecting 24.3% of the world's population, with a high prevalence among women of reproductive age. In Indonesia, the prevalence of anemia in women is 27.2%, higher in rural areas. Adolescent girls are particularly vulnerable to anemia due to menstruation and inadequate nutritional intake, which can impact productivity, immunity, and pregnancy complications. Hemoglobin levels and erythrocyte indices (MCV,MCH, MCHC) are crucial for diagnosing and classifying anemia. Objective: To describe hemoglobin levels and erythrocyte indices among adolescent girls at SMA Kristen Sonder, Minahasa Regency. Method: This type of research uses a descriptive design. The sample consisted of 30 respondents selected using purposive sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Primary data were obtained through complete blood count tests and questionnaires. Results: Most samples had normal hemoglobin levels (90%), while 10% had low hemoglobin levels. Erythrocyte indices showed normal MCV in 86.6% of samples and low in 13.3%; normal MCH in 80% and low in 20%; and normal MCHC in 100% of samples. Of the three samples with anemia, two were microcytic, one was normocytic, and none were macrocytic. Conclusion: The majority of adolescent girls at SMA Kristen Sonder, Minahasa Regency, had normal hemoglobin levels and erythrocyte indices. Keywords: Adolescent girls; Erythrocyte indice; Hemoglobin

Abstract

Background: Anemia is a global public health problem affecting both developing and developed countries with major consequences for human health especially adolescent girls who experience rapid growth and blood loss during menstruation. The incidence of anemia in Indonesia and the world currently needs special attention. Examination of hemoglobin and iron is needed as an initial step in early detection and prevention of increased incidence of anemia. Objective: To determine the picture of hemoglobin and iron in adolescent girls living in Malalayang 1 Barat Village. Methods: Descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach on 30 adolescent girls aged 13-17 years taken by purposive sampling. Data were obtained through laboratory examination of hemoglobin and serum iron levels, measurement of body weight and height, and administration of research forms. Results: There were 28 respondents (93.33%) who had normal hemoglobin levels and 2 respondents (6.67%) who had low hemoglobin levels. There were 24 respondents (80%) who had normal serum iron levels and 6 respondents (20%) who had low serum iron levels. Conclusion: The majority of respondents had normal hemoglobin and serum iron levels (80%), but there were a small number of respondents who experienced iron deficiency (13.33%) and experienced iron deficiency anemia (6.67%).

Abstract

Background: Overweight and obesity are health problems commonly found among female university students. These conditions may be associated with physiological changes such as low-grade chronic inflammation, which can affect iron metabolism through increased hepcidin levels and potential iron restriction. In females, hemoglobin (Hb) levels may also be influenced by menstrual patterns, dietary habits, physical activity, and stress levels. To date, data describing hemoglobin levels among overweight and obese female students at the Faculty of Medicine, Sam Ratulangi University, remain limited. Objective: To describe hemoglobin levels among overweight and obese female students of the Medical Education Study Program, Class of 2024. Methods: This was a descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach. Samples were obtained using purposive sampling, resulting in 30 female students who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Most participants in both groups had hemoglobin levels within the normal range. Among the overweight participants, 86.7% had normal hemoglobin levels and 13.3% had low hemoglobin. Similarly, among the obese participants, 86.7% had normal hemoglobin levels and 13.3% had low hemoglobin. Conclusion : The majority of samples with overweight and obesity each had normal hemoglobin levels.   Keywords: BMI ; Female Sudents ; Hemoglobin
