Abstract

This study aims to determine the correlation between Middle Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC), Body Mass Index (BMI), daily calories intake and hemoglobin level among adolescent girls in Benjor Village, Malang Regency, East Java. This study is a cross sectional study conducted in Benjor Village, Tumpang District, Malang Regency. This study involved 41 female adolescents around 12–20 years old. Data was collected by measuring middle upper arm circumference using a metline, measuring height using a microtoise and weighing a stepping scale and then the data obtained are used to determine body mass index recording calorie intake with the 1 × 24 h food recall method, and measuring blood hemoglobin with Point of Care Testing (POCT). After all data was obtained, it was statistically analysed using multiple regression test. From the results of the regression test, an adjusted R square value of 0.106 was obtained, Which means all independent variables have 10,6% influence to the dependent variable. From the results of the regression test, a significance value of 0.0158 was obtained, which means that the three independent variables have a simultaneous influence on the dependent variable. However, the results of partial influence show that calorie intake is 0.75, while BMI is 0.038, MUAC is 0.026, which means that the two independent variables have a partial influence. Based on the overall results of this study, it can be concluded that MUAC and BMI have a correlation with haemoglobin levels but no effect on calorie intake.
