Abstract

Adolescence is a critical period of rapid growth and development, requiring adequate iron stores for optimal haemoglobin production. This study looked at the relationship between teenage girls’ hemoglobin levels and their body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), upper arm circumference (UAC), and body fat percentage (BFP). This study used a cross-sectional design with fifty adolescent girls at SMA Negeri 12 Bandar Lampung. The statistical analysis used in this study was the Spearman Rank test. The results showed that the prevalence of anemia in adolescent girls was 38%. There were a significant association (p < 0.05) between BMI, WC, and BFP with haemoglobin levels. In contrast, the UAC showed no significant association (p > 0.05) with haemoglobin levels. These findings suggest that body composition, particularly central adiposity as reflected in waist circumference and body fat percentage associated with haemoglobin status in adolescent girls. Further investigation is needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and explore possible interventions to manage the high prevalence of anemia in this population.
