Anemia merupakan salah satu masalah gizi yang perlu mendapat perhatian khusus. Remaja putri termasuk golongan yang rawan menderita anemia karena mengalami menstruasi setiap bulannya dan sedang dalam masa pertumbuhan. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui hubungan pengetahuan, asupan zat gizi (energy, protein dan zat besi) dan faktor-faktor lain yang berhubungan dengan kejadian anemia pada remaja putri di SMA Kab. Kepulauan Selayar.
Rancangan penelitian cross sectional. Jumlah sampel 173 orang dipilih secara sistematik random sampling dari seluruh siswi kelas X dan XI di masing-masing SMA. Data asupan zat gizi diperoleh dengan kuesioner food recall, pola menstruasi melalui kuesioner terstruktur, dan kadar hemoglobin dengan Hb Sahli. Data dianalisis secara Univariat dan Bivariat dengan Chi Square.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ada hubungan pengetahuan (p=0,000), asupan energi (p=0,023), asupan protein (p=0,003), dan zat besi (p=0,049), pekerjaan ayah (p=022), pekerjaan ibu (p=0,001), tingkat pendidikan ayah (p=0,025), tingkat pendidikan ibu (p=0,032) dengan kejadian anemia. Tidak terdapat hubungan menstruasi (p=0,930), siklus menstruasi (p=513), lama menstruasi (p=0,076), volume menstruasi (p=1,000) dengan kejadian anemia.
