Abstract

problem, so it must be addressed. About 1.74 (1.72-1.76) billion people
worldwide suffer from anemia, especially children under five, Women of
Reproductive Age (WRA), and pregnant women. As many as 500 million
WRA suffer from anemia; this will impact the loss of productivity due to
decreased work capacity, cognitive impairment, susceptibility to infections,
and increased risk of complications in pregnancy and childbirth. This study
analyzes the risk factors for anemia in women of reproductive age (15-49)
who work in horticultural agriculture. The study was conducted with a
cross-sectional design involving 160 participants from three main centers
of horticultural agriculture in West Lampung Regency. SPSS was used for
Chi-square analysis, Odds Ratio, and Logistic Regression (alpha = 0.05). The
results showed that the prevalence of anemia in women of reproductive
age who worked in horticultural agriculture was 27.5%. The study also
identified three risk factors for anemia: dissatisfactory nutritional status
(AOR = 24.53; 95% CI 5.59-107.70), lack of protein intake (AOR = 28.01; 95%
CI 6.97- 112.52), and lack intake of high iron vegetables (AOR = 6.13; 95% CI
1.79-21.01). Nutritional interventions should emphasize increasing protein,
iron, and vitamins through improved diet, fortification efforts, and iron
supplementation.
