After 6 month of intervention with 60 percent of coverage, the prevalence of anemia, iron deficiency has decreased statistically (p 0.001). The improvement on hemoglobin concentration and anemia prevalence between 2 groups of age (from 20 to 35 and from 36 to 49) and between workers and farmers has no difference, but prevalence of iron deficiency has significantly difference (p 0.05).
