Background: Anemia is a prevalent nutritional problem among adolescents, with a prevalence rate in Indonesia reaching 31.2% in 2019, higher than the 2018 rate of 30.4%.

Data were collected using an Hb meter, a knowledge questionnaire, a microtoise, and a weighing scale. Data analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate analysis with Fisher's Exact Test. Results: The study findings revealed that all adolescent girls with low knowledge experienced anemia (100%). Similarly, all adolescent girls with abnormal nutritional status also experienced anemia (100%). Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between knowledge and nutritional status with the incidence of anemia (p-value < 0.05).
