Abstract

Anaemia has been one of the social health problems which arises and is spread around the world especially in developing countries and poor countries. Anaemia affects a large number of people mainly young males and females. Women and young females need twice as much iron as men and young males do. WHO states that 25 – 40% of young people suffer from anaemia and it strikes more than 57% of young females in Indonesia. The red beet is rich in various vitamin B content: vitamin B1, B2, B3 and B6. The dragon fruit also contains iron, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B and vitamin C. Our research purpose is to find out the comparison of beet juice and dragon fruit juice consumption to increasing haemoglobin level in 11-15-year-old young people. The research design is Quasi-Experiment using pre-test-post-test with control group design. The technique sampling, we use is purposive sampling. We use a juice extractor and haem meter to study the samples for seven days. There were 32 samples in our research. Our research used paired t-test and independent t-test. The result showed that beet p value was 0.515 > 0.05 and dragon fruit was 0.516 > 0.05 and that the consumption of beet juice and dragon fruit juice did not affect the haemoglobin level in 11-15-year-old young females. Average haemoglobin level given beet p value was 0.026 < 0.05 and average haemoglobin level given dragon fruit p value was 0.033 < 0.05.
