Abstract

Anemia is a public health problem that can be experienced by all age groups from toddlers to the elderly. This condition is characterized by low levels of hemoglobin (Hb) in the blood, which is < 12 g/dl. The main cause of anemia is iron (Fe) deficiency, but deficiencies of other nutrients such as vitamins A, B12, and folic acid also play a role in the incidence of anemia. The deficiency occurs when the amount of Fe absorbed is not able to meet the body's needs. The program to prevent and control anemia in adolescent girls is carried out by providing iron-folate supplementation or known as Blood Add Tablets (TTD) since 1997 which is given on a daily basis when young girls are in their menstrual period. This study uses a systematic review approach, namely as many as 10 studies of Fe supplementation in adolescent girls 10-19 years which were obtained through electronic search of scientific publications using Google Scholar. The selected study criteria were regarding the intervention of Fe supplementation either alone or in combination with other methods to prevent and control Fe in adolescents during the period 2016-2021.
