Results: After being analyzed with Pearson and Spearman test , there are no significant association between nutrient intake with hemoglobin levels, ferritin, and anthropometric status (p>0.05). There were no significant association between IMT with hemoglobin and ferritin levels, also MUAC with ferritin. However, there is a significant relationship between MUAC with hemoglobin levels (p=0.034). Conclusion : There were no association between nutrient intake and BMI with hemoglobin and ferritin levels.
