“…This was in agreement with Sharourou et al, 2018 who found that the most important cause of anemia was iron deficiency anaemia [8] . Also, Al Hassan., 2015 found that iron deficiency anaemia was the most common type of anaemia represented 81% with mean hemoglobin concentration for the study sample was 9.8 ± 7 g/dl [9] .…”

Patients and Methods: This real practice study included 1500 patients with different types of anaemia. All patients were subjected to a full medical history, full clinical examination, blood sample for complete blood count (CBC) examination, serum iron, and serum ferritin concentration.Results: This study included 1500 patients having a female predominance with a male to female ratio as (45.47% and 54.53%) respectively. The mean age of patients was 48.9± 18.1 years. Anaemia was more common in the age group between 50-65 years. Most common associated comorbidities were diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension (HTN) by 65.1% and 61% respectively. The most common causes of anemia were chronic kidney disease (CKD), chronic liver disease (CLD), Malignancy by 27.1%, 21.93%, 15.8% respectively. Conclusion:There is more prevalence of anaemia in females in Fayoum Governorate. This prevalence is increasing with age. Here iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most common type of anemia in pregnant females. There is a common association between anaemia with diabetes mellitus in absence of CKD.

“…Various studies have associated certain nutritional insufficiencies with this disease. Iron, vitamin B12, folic acid, vitamin A, and vitamin C are some nutrients that have been linked to its development ( 6 , 11 – 16 ). The association between nutrient intake deficiencies and other health and cognitive development problems among schoolchildren has been investigated by several studies, indicating a strong correlation between nutrition and the health of children.…”

Nutritional inadequacy has been a major health problem worldwide. One of the many health problems that result from it is anemia. Anemia is considered a health concern among all ages, particularly children, as it has been associated with cognitive and developmental delays. Researchers have investigated the association between nutritional deficiencies and anemia through various methods. As novel analytical methods are needed to ascertain the association and reveal indirect ones, we aimed to classify nutritional anemia using the cluster analysis approach. In this study, we included 4,762 students aged between 10 and 17 years attending public and UNRWA schools in the West Bank. Students' 24-h food recall and blood sample data were collected for nutrient intake and hemoglobin analysis. The K-means cluster analysis was used to cluster the hemoglobin levels into two groups. Vitamin B12, folate, and iron intakes were used as the indicators of nutrient intake associated with anemia and were classified as per the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) values. We applied the Classification and Regression Tree (CRT) model for studying the association between hemoglobin clusters and vitamin B12, folate, and iron intakes, sociodemographic variables, and health-related risk factors, accounting for grade and age. Results indicated that 46.4% of the students were classified into the low hemoglobin cluster, and 60.7, 72.5, and 30.3% of vitamin B12, folate, and iron intakes, respectively, were below RDA. The CRT analysis indicated that vitamin B12, iron, and folate intakes are important factors related to anemia in girls associated with age, locality, food consumption patterns, and physical activity levels, while iron and folate intakes were significant factors related to anemia in boys associated with the place of residence and the educational level of their mothers. The deployment of clustering and classification techniques for identifying the association between anemia and nutritional factors might facilitate the development of nutritional anemia prevention and intervention programs that will improve the health and wellbeing of schoolchildren.

“…Research revealed that about 27% of adolescents living in the least developed countries suffer from anaemia mostly related to iron (Sharourou et al, 2018). Ghana Micronutrients Survey (2017) estimated the prevalence of iron deficiency anaemia to be 21.7% among women of reproductive age (15–49 years old).…”

Effectiveness of nutrition education and counselling programme on iron deficiency anaemia among adolescents: A study protocol of a randomized trial

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background [GQ4]Adolescents tend to explore their dietary environment without prior consideration of their nutritional needs. This attitude is due to low nutrition knowledge and it contributes to micronutrient deficiency such as anaemia. The study aims to investigate the effect of nutrition education and counselling on dietary iron intake and iron status of early adolescents. Methods/Design One hundred and twenty-six early adolescents will be recruited and randomized to receive nutrition education (intervention group) and no nutrition education (control group) in the Asante-Akim South Municipality of Ghana. Data on socio-demographics, dietary factors, dietary intake, knowledge of iron and anaemia will be collected at baseline and post-intervention. Blood samples will be collected for haemoglobin, ferritin and c-reactive protein analyses. The primary outcome measures include haemoglobin and ferritin levels, secondary outcomes such as dietary iron intake, dietary vitamin C intake and knowledge level of iron will be assessed at pre-and post-intervention (6 months). The study will comply with the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) for randomized trials. Discussion The effectiveness of iron dietary guidelines developed will serve as a manual to aid, prevent and manage iron deficiency anaemia as well as reduce the prevalence of anaemia in the long term in Ghana.
