“…Menstrual disorders not only affect daily activities and quality of life but are also the major cause of anemia among adolescent girls [28][29][30]. Numerous studies highlighted that family monthly income [25,[33][34][35][36][37][38], exercise [42,43], meals regularity [25], and respondent education [25] are the societal determinants of anemia in female.…”

Societal determinants of health are of recognized importance for understanding the causal association of society and health of an individual. Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a challenging public health problem across the globe instigating from a broader sociocultural background. It is more prevalent among pregnant women, children under the age of five years, and adolescent girls. Adolescent girls are vulnerable to develop IDA because of additional nutritional demand of the body needed for growth spurt, blood loss due to onset of menarche, malnourishment, and poor dietary iron intake. In this study, we explore the societal determinants of anemia among adolescent girls in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), Pakistan. A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Muzaffarabad division of AJK on randomly selected 626 adolescent girls. The data were collected using a pretested self-administered interview schedule comprising mainly closed-ended questions with a few open-ended questions. Descriptive statistics was computed for describing the data, and bivariate regression and logistic regression were used to determine the association of anemia with its societal determinants. Multiple linear regression is used to determine the relationship of different determinants (independent variables) with the hemoglobin level (dependent variable) of the respondents. The prevalence of anemia among adolescent girls is 47.9%, of which 47.7% have mild anemia, 51.7% have moderate anemia, and 5.7% have severe anemia, which reveals that anemia is a severe public health problem among adolescent girls in the study area. The findings aver that anemia occurrence was significantly associated with the respondent’s and her parental education, economic well-being, prevalence of communicable diseases, menstrual disorder, exercise habits, meals regularity, and type of sewerage system.

Introduction: Anemia is a public health concern that impacts reduced present and future economic productivity of a nation. Therefore, it is important to determine the factors associated with anemia, especially in adults. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the pattern of consumption (frequencies of consuming meat, egg, green vegetables and fruits), individual characteristics (sex, body mass index (BMI)), social economic status (working status, living area, spending on food), and physical activity the relationship between the previous stated factors with anemia, and to determine the dominant factors of anemia among adults on Java Island. Materials and Method:Data of 1,178 adults on Java Island, Indonesia was obtained from the 2014. Indonesian Family Life Survey which was collected by the RAND Corporation. The study applied crosssectional designed and data was analysed using chi-square statistical analysis. Results:The average hemoglobin level among adults on Java Island was 13.5±1.96 g/dL;22% of adults were anemic. While the proportion of anemia was significantly higher in adults who were female, unemployed, performed inadequate physical activity and consumed egg less frequently (p <0.05), there was no significant relationship between the consumption of iron-source food, except for egg, and anemia. After controlling for BMI and consumption frequency of meat and egg in multivariate analysis the dominant factor for anemia was sex. Conclusion:On Java Island -Indonesia the risk of anemia is 1.8 times higher among adults who consume egg less frequently.

Background: Thalassemia is considered as a group of genetic blood disorders, characterized by anemia. The present research aimed at evaluating the effects of aquatic exercise on quality of life and blood indices in patients with beta-thalassemia major. Methods: A clinical trial study involving 40 patients with thalassemia major, divided into two groups: experimental and control. The tools used to collect the data included demographic information questionnaire, blood indicators questionnaire, and SF-36 quality of life questionnaire. The experimental group performed exercise in water three times per week for 8 weeks in the pool after obtaining the consent. In this research, the quality of life questionnaire was filled out 24 h before the intervention, 24 h after the last session of the exercise program, and 2 months after the end of the exercise program. Results: The current research revealed that exercise in water affected the quality of life, hemoglobin, hematocrit, iron and ferritin of serum such that the mean score of quality of life and blood indicators in the study showed a significant difference in the experimental group. Conclusions: The use of a regular exercise program combined with drug therapy and blood transfusion can be useful in the treatment of beta-thalassemia patients.
