Abstract

Attention to the health of adolescent girls is central in efforts to improve the quality of public health, especially in realizing awareness of a clean and healthy lifestyle (PHBS). This service aims to assess hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls, with a focus on identifying the presence of anemia, while providing an understanding of the importance of maintaining health and implementing a healthy lifestyle. The study was conducted on 83 adolescent girls from Muhammadiyah Junior High School in the working area of UPT Puskesmas Sepaku I. The data was collected through interviews and blood tests. Data were collected through interviews and blood tests. Hemoglobin analysis was conducted in the laboratory using standard methods. The results showed that 4% of adolescent girls experienced anemia. Anemia tends to be more common in 8th and 9th grade girls, but rarely found in 7th grade. Hemoglobin screening in adolescent girls aged 12-18 years has great benefits in identifying the risk of anemia and providing appropriate preventive measures and interventions. By understanding the results of hemoglobin screening, corrective measures can be taken such as increasing the intake of iron-containing foods and the use of nutritional supplements, with the aim of preventing future health problems.
