One of such problem is iron deficiency that result in the decline of their health. Iron deficiency in elderly can be overcome by providing high iron containing diet and controlling the factors that may inhibit iron absorption from food . With the administration of green banana (Family Musaceae) as supplement, it is expected that blood iron level of elderly in Panti Sosial Tresna Werda Bangkalan can be improved . This was a quasy-experimental study. Population comprised 27 persons. Samples were taken using purposive sampling from those who met the inclusion criteria, consisting of 14 persons. Seven persons served as treatment group and seven others served as control group. Data obtained were analyzed using paired t statistical test with alpha = 0.05 and independent t test with alpha = 0.05. Result of paired t test revealed p = 0.013 for blood iron level before and after intervention in treatment group, and p = 0.864 in control group. The independent t-test showed p = 0.000 for blood iron level after green banana administration to treatment and control group.
