This review aims to provide an in-depth overview of the prevalence, risk factors and impact of anemia in adolescents aged 12-18 years in Indonesia. Through a literature study approach, various research from various sources is synthesized. The main findings show that insufficient iron intake, socioeconomic status, and eating habits contribute significantly to the prevalence of anemia. This review emphasizes the importance of comprehensive interventions such as nutrition education, iron supplementation programs, food fortification, and increasing access to health services to reduce the burden of anemia among Indonesian adolescents. This collaborative effort is critical to supporting the optimal development and well-being of Indonesia's vulnerable youth.
