Abstract

A period of transition from child to adult known as adolescence, which causes a lot of changes that need nutrients for their growth and development. If the intake of needs is not balanced, it will cause health problems such as anemia. The prevalence of anemia in Indonesia at the age of 15-24 years has experienced an increasing trend from 18.4% in 2013 to 32% in 2018. The prevalence of anemia in Samarinda in 2016 was 321 cases spread over 22 health center. This was an analytic survey method with cross-sectional approach to describe the pattern of tropical food consumption that has the potential to prevent anemia. Respondents were female students at the Hidayatullah Islamic Boarding School, Samarinda. From 69 respondents, 49.3% experienced anemia. The picture of consumption of food sources of iron is still quite low, including local foods that contain high iron. Increasing the consumption of food sources of iron is very important to prevent the risk of anemia, including by getting used to consuming local food which is widely available in the East Kalimantan. Further research regarding the relationship between local food consumption and the risk of anemia needs to be carried out based on specific local food type.
