Effect of multiple micronutrient supplements and nutritional education based on the “Aksi Bergizi” program on hemoglobin levels of adolescent girls

Background: Nutritional aspects among adolescents can arise due to incorrect eating habits, leading to an imbalance between nutritional consumption and recommendation, which may result in underweight, overweight, and anemia. Boarding schools are especially susceptible to these issues as they often offer limited food options with behaviors and patterns of skipping eating. This research aims to assess the effect of Multiple Micronutrient Supplements (MMS) and balanced nutritional education on the hemoglobin levels of adolescent girls in boarding schools.
