This cross-sectional research used stratified random sampling based on their level of class. The participant’s number were 49 adolescent girls who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. 36,70% of all subjects had anemia. Most subjects (75,51%) had low iron consumption, rare iron enhancers consumption (75,51%), and frequent inhibitors consumption (51,02%). All the independent variables (iron intake, iron enhancers consumption, and iron inhibitor consumption) had a significant relationship (p<0,05) to the dependent variable (anemia incidence).
