This systematic literature review assessed the global prevalence and birth prevalence of clinically significant forms of alpha‐ and beta‐thalassemia. Embase, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Library were searched for observational studies published January 1, 2000, to September 21, 2021. Of 2093 unique records identified, 69 studies reported across 70 publications met eligibility criteria, including 6 records identified from bibliography searches. Thalassemia prevalence estimates varied across countries and even within countries. Across 23 population‐based studies reporting clinically significant alpha‐thalassemia (e.g., hemoglobin H disease and hemoglobin Bart's hydrops fetalis) and/or beta‐thalassemia (beta‐thalassemia intermedia, major, and/or hemoglobin E/beta‐thalassemia), prevalence estimates per 100 000 people ranged from 0.2 in Spain (over 2014–2017) to 27.2 in Greece (2010–2015) for combined beta‐ plus alpha‐thalassemia; from 0.03 in Spain (2014–2017) to 4.5 in Malaysia (2007–2018) for alpha‐thalassemia; and from 0.2 in Spain (2014–2017) to 35.7 to 49.6 in Iraq (2003–2018) for beta‐thalassemia. Overall, the estimated prevalence of thalassemia followed the predicted pattern of being higher in the Middle East, Asia, and Mediterranean than in Europe or North America. However, population‐based prevalence estimates were not found for many countries, and there was heterogeneity in case definitions, diagnostic methodology, type of thalassemia reported, and details on transfusion requirements. Limited population‐based birth prevalence data were found. Twenty‐seven studies reported thalassemia prevalence from non–population‐based samples. Results from such studies likely do not have countrywide generalizability as they tended to be from highly specific groups. To fully understand the global prevalence of thalassemia, up‐to‐date, population‐based epidemiological data are needed for many countries.

“…The highest prevalence of anaemia was seen among tribes of Mandala district 26 while overall anaemic women is 52 % 39 . Three studies reported more than 80% of adolescent girls were anaemic among tribes 26,38,42 . Various socioeconomic factors like food insecurity, illiteracy, negligence of girl children, low hygiene practice and lack of willingness towards health and wellbeing are strongly associated with prevalence of anaemia 37 .…”

Madhya Pradesh is India's largest tribal population state, with 46 tribal groups accounting for 21.1% of the total population. While numerous studies on tribal health in general were conducted, research on the health risks coverage of adolescent girls in Madhya Pradesh was inadequate. This paper aimed to identify the current health delinquencies of tribal adolescent girls living in Madhya Pradesh. In the present study, 23 research papers published from 1st January, 2000 to 18th July, 2022 were selected for review, while another 38 papers were reviewed to understand the background of adolescent health issues. The papers for review were selected by applying certain criteria in accordance with the study objective. Google Scholar and the PubMed database were used to search for relevant research articles, and the final selection was done after an in-depth reading and suitability of the subject. Major health risks are identified as anaemia and IFA supplementation, reproductive health, malnutrition, and menstrual hygiene. High proportion of anaemia (52%-94%) was observed. Rate of underweight (20.1% to 72.7%), wasting (9% to 61.1%), and stunting (20.1% to 32.3%) indicated undernutrition among adolescence girls. Girls were infected by Human Papillomavirus and Sexually Transmitted Disease. Limited knowledge on Human Immunodeficiency Virus, contraceptive methods, and sexual routes of transmission were found among tribal girls. Low birth weight babies as a result of early marriage and stillbirth were major concerns among adolescent tribal girls. The analysis revealed that lack of information on health services, social-cultural factors and deprivation from health care access are responsible for unfortunate health situation of tribal girls. More comprehensive studies with a holistic approach on identified issues are essential for effective adolescent friendly policy implication in favour to improve prospective health.
