“…There was no case of severe anemia in children. Almost similar prevalence rates have been reported among children from different districts of Punjab such as Amritsar (Majha), Ludhiana, Moga, Faridkot and Patiala (Malwa) (Sidhu et al, 2007;Gupta et al, 2011;Bhatia, 2013;Kaur et al, 2015;Garg and Bhalla, 2016). Contrarily, several studies reported much lower prevalence of anemia among school children from other states of India and worldwide (NFHS-4, 2015-16;Birhanu et al, 2018;Cruz-Gongora et al, 2018;Rakesh et al, 2018;Tezera et al, 2018).…”

Objective: The objective of the present review study is to assess the prevalence of anaemia among Indian children of various age groups. Data Source and Eligibility Criteria: A total of 10 published articles on the aspects of prevalence of anaemia, particularly, among the children of various age groups were reviewed systematically, which were collected through google search. Studies considered in the present review paper were published during 2009 to 2016 years and data were selected against predetermined inclusion and exclusion. The age groups of the children were from 0-12 and 13-16 years, which cover infant, pre-school children, school going children and adolescent girls. Study Appraisal: Published articles on the aspects of anaemia of children and adolescent girls were peer reviewed with full one-line text available. Only the relevant studies were included to make suitable for synthesis and meaningful relationship in the present study. Synthesis Method: Data collected from various ten (10) published articles were combined together after carefully reviewed and presented them systematically taking consideration to the year of publications, age of the children, sample size, study design and finding of the studies in a summarized tabular form. Limitation and Key Finding: Limitations regarding the estimation of haemoglobin were found varied and data of the same group of children were not found from the different retrieved published articles. The proportion of severe anaemia among school children and adolescents were not observed in the reviewed studies. However, the overall prevalence of anaemia could be observed in high percentages from the reported data during the year 2009-2016. Conclusion: The key finding of this review study was that during the early age groups of children, boys were more affected than girls, however, at the adolescent stage with the commencement of menstrual cycle, girls were more suffered from anaemia as compared with those of boys. Further, it was also observed that the highest prevalence of anaemia in Faridkot district of Punjab were 91.69% and 93.94% for boys and girls respectively [1].

“…Anemia has a high prevalence globally and can develop at all stages of life, particularly in preschool-aged children [ 5 ]. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) cutoffs, anemia is defined as a Hb concentration of <11 g/dL in girls and <12 g/dL in boys [ 6 ]. Of note, anemia can affect mental health, learning capacity, and the ability to concentrate [ 6 ].…”

The decreased absolute circulating red blood cell count or the inability of red blood cells to meet physiological needs is called anemia. Anemia can affect mental health, learning capacity, and the ability to concentrate. The present study aimed to assess the prevalence of anemia among children and adolescents living in the rural areas of Khulais, Saudi Arabia. MethodsThis cross-sectional study including 417 individuals was conducted at Khulais Hospital in the rural areas in Saudi Arabia to estimate the prevalence of anemia among children and adolescents. The inclusion criterion for the study was that participants must be Saudi citizens. Data for this study were collected in March 2021. The age of the children ranged from 7 to 11 years, whereas that of adolescent males and females was between 12 and 18 years. ResultsIn total, the study included 147 male adolescents, 123 female adolescents, and 147 children participants. The overall prevalence of anemia among adolescents was high (39.1%). The prevalence of anemia was 44.9% (66/147), 46.3% (57/123), and 27.2% (40/147) in male adolescents (age 12-18 years), female adolescents (age 12-18 years), and children (age 7-11 years), respectively. Statistical analysis revealed an association between the prevalence of anemia and the increasing age of participants from rural areas. ConclusionThe present study results indicate that the prevalence of anemia in the rural areas of Saudi Arabia is high. The high prevalence can be explained by several factors, such as parents' low socioeconomic status and living in rural areas, which limits the availability as well as different types of nutritious food and thereby negatively affects the nutritional status of such children and adolescents.
