Background: Lowered hemoglobin levels in erythrocytes, which are insufficient for the bodys physiological requirements, are known as anemia. The WHO states that women over the age of 15 should have hemoglobin levels of at least 12.0 g/dl (> 7.5 mmol). Anemia is one of the many major issues that the world faces when it comes to malnutrition. This is exemplified by the fact that anemia was listed as one of the Global Burden Diseases in 2004 and that, of the 1.159 billion people who suffer from anemia worldwide, 50% have an iron deficiency. Thus, the purpose of this research is to identify the contributing causes to teenage anemia. Method: This study employs a literature review methodology based on 15 pertinent publications from two databases, Pubmed and Google Scholar. Articles from the last seven years that meet the following requirements are eligible for inclusion: they must be primary research, not a literature review, systematic review, or meta-analysis they must also include complete text, be written in both Indonesian and English, and reflect the goals and findings of the study. Results and discussion: studies indicate that knowledge, the duration of the menstrual cycle, nutritional quality, and parental education are the main causes of anemia in teenage girls. Conclusion: The literature evaluation leads to the conclusion that nutritional status, knowledge, the duration of the menstrual cycle, and parental education are the main risk factors for the incidence of anemia in teenage females. This is predicated on an analysis of fifteen articles.
