“…This study shows the influence of menstrual bleeding on anemia which is significant statistically as well as clinically. This finding diverges from the reports of study done in Nagpur-India [11] and Rajini [7] in 2010 which explicated that the menstrual bleeding was not an associating factor for anemia.…”

Background: Despite many organized efforts by the government, adolescent anemia remains to be a major public health problem in India. The prevalence of anemia and factors influencing it in urban adolescent females is a relatively less studied aspect. Hence the current study is conducted with an objective of assessing the prevalence and factors influencing anemia among adolescent school girls living in an urban locality. Methods: The current study was a community-based cross sectional study conducted in the selected schools and colleges of Permabalur town, south India, in the field practice area of Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan Medical College and Hospital between June to December 2017. Total 373 adolescent girls selected by multistage simple random sampling were included in the study. The hemoglobin was assessed by cyanmethemoglobin method. Results: The prevalence of anaemia among urban adolescent girls was 41.1% (95% CI 0.36-0.46). The proportion of mild and moderate anaemia was 37% and 4.10% respectively and none had severe anaemia. Compared to upper middle class, the odds of anemia were 14.16 times more in the lower class (95% CI 4.54-44.12, p<0.001). Compared to scanty/normal bleeding, the odds of anemia were 2.943 (95% CI 1.4-3.87 p<0.05) more in girls with heavy bleeding. Age, upper lower or lower middle socio-economic strata, religion, type of family and menstrual irregularity did not have any statistically significant association with anemia. Conclusions: Anemia is highly prevalent among adolescent girls and there is a need to intensify efforts all levels to reduce the prevalence of anemia.

“…28,31 However, some studies also indicated that there is no significant association of age of adolescent girls and anaemia. [32][33][34] On multiple regressions analysis shows that the age of adolescent, education of adolescent, religion, caste, income strata and region of residence is found to be associated with anaemia in adolescent girls which indicated in several earlier studies. 29,[35][36][37] A study highlighted that about 43% of the adolescent deaths are related to pregnancy.…”

Background: Anaemia continues to be a major public health problem at all ages worldwide. Today, every fifth person in India is an adolescent (Census, 2011). Anaemia effects adolescent girls critically by decreasing their capacity to do physical work, affects their growth as a result they are not well prepared for upcoming pregnancy and motherhood challenge. NFHS-3 reports indicated wide rural-urban disparity in prevalence of anaemia. The present study aims to explore rural-urban disparity in prevalence of anaemia and to study the factor associated with anaemia among adolescent girls in India. Methods: District levels household survey (DLHS-4, 2012-13) was used for the present study. The outcome variables included in the study was anaemia. Bivariate analyses including chi square tests were applied to determine the prevalence of anaemia and logistic regression models to understand the determinants of anaemia. The whole analysis was performed using STATA version 13.0 to take into account the survey design (i.e. sampling weights with clustering and strata), QGIS, and R CRAN. Results: The prevalence of anaemia was observed high in urban (65.3%) as compared to rural (57.3%). However, the prevalence of severe anaemia was high in rural area as compared to urban area. The mean hemoglobin level of the study population was 10.4±2.22. Prevalence of anaemia varies across key selected individual, household and community characteristics of adolescent girls. Finding of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that anemia has a strong relation with age, education, family size, religion, caste, economic status, sanitation facility and place of residence of adolescents. Conclusions: This study concludes that the prevalence of anaemia is a significant problem of adolescent girls in India. The study also proved that anemia is significantly associated with age, education, income strata and place of residence.
