“…The present finding is higher than study report from Tigray, Ethiopia 7.1% [12], prevalence of Anaemia was 14% [22]. On other side, the current finding is lower than study report of Maharashtra, India 87% [23], rural adolescent 75% [24]; in Bangladesh 51.6% [25]; in Tertiary Care Hospital 50% [26]; Jimma, South West Ethiopia 37.6% [27]; South west of Ethiopia 28% [6]; and Afar, North East Ethiopia 22.8% [29]. The reason for variation might be socioeconomical and geographical differences contributed.…”

Introduction: During adolescent anaemia has negative consequence on cognitive, work performance and economic productive. However, there is limited evidence on the prevalence and factors associated with anaemia among adolescent girls. Objectives: To assess the prevalence and associated factors of anaemia among rural adolescent girls in Hadero Tunto zuria district, Southern Ethiopia. Methods: A community based comparative cross-sectional study was conducted among adolescent girls 10-19 years. A total of 406 subjects were randomly selected. A structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. Blood haemoglobin level was determined from capillary blood using the Haemocue method. Data were entered into computer and analyzed using SPSS versions 20.0. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine the factors associated with anaemia. Result: The mean (±SD) of haemoglobin concentration adjusted for altitude was 13.7+1.2 (SD) and ranged from 8 to 16.6g/dl. Over all prevalence of anaemia was found to be 15.2% [95%CI: 11.68%, 18.72%]. Out of the total 406 adolescent girls 13.7% [95%

“…In the second stage of sampling, starting from the north-west corner of an EA with a systematic random sample of five households, on an average of 54 households were selected per EA to provide statistically reliable estimates for rural areas and urban slums separately. The method of the base survey has been briefly described in an earlier study [21]. Information was collected from all the men and women aged ≥35 years residing in the selected households.…”

Ever rising prevalence of Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) is a major challenge for the health sector in Bangladesh. This study aimed to explore the prevalence of CVD and sociodemographic and lifestyle factors associated with it in Bangladesh. The data were collected through a cross-sectional survey following a two-stage cluster random sampling procedure. The present analysis was performed among 12,338 respondents aged ≥35 years, selected from rural areas and urban slums. Information was gathered using a structured questionnaire, whereas measurements were taken using standardized procedures. Logistic regression with exchangeable correlation structure among clusters was executed to explore the association. About 30% of participants had hypertension, 5% diabetes, 20% obesity; 77% were either smokers or consumed smokeless tobacco, and 28% were physically inactive. The prevalence of CVD was 4.5% (stroke: 1.8% and heart diseases: 3.2%). After adjusting for potential confounders, hypertension, diabetes, body mass index, extra salt intake, daily sleep, tiredness, age, gender, occupation, administrative division, and wealth quintile were found to be significantly associated with CVD. The study highlighted that the prevalence of CVD is high in Bangladesh, and its associated risk factors such as hypertension and diabetes are on the rise, especially in the older population, women, and high-income groups. Therefore, immediate public health intervention is warranted to address the issue.

Anemia is a condition in which the value of Hemogloblin (Hb) in blood is lower than normal. Anemia for adolescents is when hemoglobin levels are less than 12 g/ dl. This research was experimental research. The sample in this research were female students who suffered from anemia from 2 junior high schools in South Jakarta. The intervention group was given mixed juice of carrot and guava juice with iron supplement while the control group was only given iron supplement. There were 20 respondents in the intervention group and 20 respondents in the control group. The intervention was given 2 times for 4 weeks. Before being given to respondents, the mixed juice was tested at the Pharmacy laboratory of University of Indonesia. The results showed that the Sig. (p-value) of 0.036 <0.05, meaning that there was a statistically significant difference between the increase of Hb levels resulted from the administration of iron tablets and the mixed fruit juice compared to the administration of iron supplement only. Iron supplement is to overcome iron deficiency and it can reduce the prevalence of anemia. The mixed juice of carrot and guava is the most effective supplement to increase hemoglobin levels compared to iron supplement only. Keyword: anemia, adolescent, iron supplement, mixed juice of carrot and guava 1. INTRODUCTION Anemia is a health problem that is mostly occurred in developing countries. Although the main cause is iron deficiency, anemia is also a problem of micronutrient malnutrition that is quite large in the world with a prevalence of 40%. Anemia generally occurs in developing countries and in low socioeconomic groups. 1 Adolescence is a period of transition from childhood to adulthood. It is characterized by rapid physical, biological, and hormonal changes resulting in psycho-social, behavioral, and sexual maturity in an individual. It is the second growth spurt of life, and both boys and girls undergo different experiences in this phase. 2 Anemia in adolescents is a condition in which the Hb value in the blood is lower than normal. The limitation of anemia for adolescents is if hemoglobin levels are less than 12 gr / dl. 3.. Anemia is a condition in which the number and size of red blood cells, or hemoglobin concentration, fall below the set limit value, damaging the blood capacity to carry oxygen around the body. 4 Data in Indonesia showed 3.5 million children in Indonesia suffered from anemia. Based on the Survey Kesehatan Rumah Tangga (SKRT) in 2005 the prevalence of anemia in school children reached 26.5%. 5 Anemia prevalence is estimated at 9 percent in developed countries, while in developing countries the prevalence is 43 percent. Children and women of childbearing age (WUS) are the most at risk groups, with estimation of the prevalence of anemia in children under five by 47 percent, in pregnant women by 42 percent, and in non-pregnant women aged 15-49 years by 30 percent. 6. Anemia is one of the public health problems in Indonesia that can be experienced by all age groups ranging from toddlers to old...
