Anemia is a condition of hemoglobin (Hb) levels in the blood (Hb<11gr/dl) which is caused by a lack of nutrients needed for the formation of Hb. In Indonesia, most anemia is caused by a lack of iron (Fe), so it is called iron deficiency anemia or iron nutritional anemia. Pregnant women are a group that is vulnerable to nutritional problems, especially iron deficiency anemia. Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) is still a public health problem due to its high prevalence and impact on the health of mothers and babies.
