Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh remaja putri di desa Karya Mukti. Sampel penelitian ini adalah 77 remaja putri yang diperoleh secara sistematis dengan menggunakan metode random sampling. Data kemudian dianalisis dengan menggunakan analisis data univariat dan bivariatHasil: dari 77 responden didapatkan 35,1% responden mengalami anemia. 31,2% responden berstatus gizi normal, dan 68,8% responden berstatus gizi tidak normal.

Kemudian dari segi pengetahuan, 57,1% responden memiliki pengetahuan baik, dan 42,9% responden memiliki pengetahuan kurang baik. Kemudian, hasil uji chi-square pada variabel status gizi diperoleh nilai p sebesar 0,002 (< α = 0,05) yang berarti ada hubungan yang bermakna antara status gizi dengan anemia. Hasil uji chi-square pada variabel siklus menstruasi diperoleh p-value sebesar 0,001 (< α = 0,05) artinya ada hubungan yang bermakna antara siklus menstruasi dengan anemia. Hasil uji chi-square pada variabel pengetahuan diperoleh p-value 0,000 (< α = 0,05) artinya ada hubungan yang bermakna antara pengetahuan dengan anemia.Kesimpulan: ada hubungan antara status gizi, siklus menstruasi, dan pengetahuan dengan anemia pada remaja putri.Saran: diharapkan aparat desa Karya Mukti aktif memberikan penyuluhan terkait anemia kepada remaja putri Kata Kunci: Anemia, status gizi, siklus menstruasi, pengetahuan ABSTRACT Background: anemia is a condition characterized by decreased levels of erythrocytes per unit volume of blood or hemoglobin levels that are insufficient for the body's physiological needs.Objective: to determine the relationship between nutritional status, menstrual cycles, and knowledge with anemia in female adolescents in Karya Mukti village in 2021.Methods: this study used a quantitative analytic survey with a cross-sectional approach.
