“…Anemia in adolescents can have negative effects on their cognitive performance and growth and pregnancy during adolescence, can increase maternal morbidity and mortality as well as poor birth outcomes [2]. Furthermore, through its effect on cognitive and work performance, anemia can impact current and future economic productivity of the country at large [2,5]. Initiatives to prevent anemia commonly targets to infants, young children, pregnant, and lactating women but not focusing on adolescents due to this the consequences of anemia among adolescents remains as a big deal [3,6].…”

Background Anemia is the reduction of red blood cells in size and numbers and an indicator of both poor nutrition and poor health. It is a major global public health problem. Anemia in adolescents and young adults can have negative effects on their cognitive performance and growth. In Ethiopia, previous studies yielded variable prevalence. This review aimed to determine the pooled prevalence of adolescent girls’ anemia and associated factors in Ethiopia. Methods We searched for studies reporting anemia and associated factors among adolescent girls as reported in peer reviews publications in Ethiopia from 1988 to 2021 from PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, Science Direct, Cochrane Library, and Worldwide Science database. The search strategy identified 309 cross-sectional studies. After screening for potentially eligible articles, we identified 37 publications for full text review, following which 10 publications were included in the final review. Using data from the review, we performed meta-analysis to produce pooled estimates and assess the prevalence of anemia and associated risk factors. Data were extracted using a standardized data extraction format prepared in Microsoft Excel™ and transferred to Stata ™ Version 14.0 for management and further analysis. To identify the source of heterogeneity, subgroup analysis using sample size and study setup was computed, and I2 test was used to declare the presence or absence of significant heterogeneity during subgroup analysis. A random-effect meta-analysis model was used to estimate the pooled prevalence of adolescent girls’ anemia. Moreover associated factors for adolescent anemia were assessed too. Results The overall pooled prevalence of anemia among adolescent girls’ in Ethiopia was 23.02% (95% CI: 17.21to 28.84). In the subgroup analysis, studies that have a higher sample size than mean have a higher pooled prevalence (27.35%) (95% CI: 21.42 to 33.28) compared to their counterparts. Age being 15–19 (OR: 2.13; 95% CI: 1.52 to 2.96), living in rural areas (OR: 2.05; 95% CI: 1.66 to 2.54), and low dietary diversity (OR: 1.35; 95% CI: 1.00 to 2.34), were the identified factors associated with anemia among adolescent girls’. Conclusion The pooled prevalence of anemia among adolescent girls in Ethiopia was moderately high. Being in 15–19 years, rural residence, and low dietary diversity score were found to be the significant factors of anemia among adolescent girls in Ethiopia.

Adolescent girls face risks including injuries, reproductive and sexual health issues, mental and emotional problems, and abuse. In response, the Government of India launched the Adolescent Girls’ Scheme in 2000 under the Integrated Child Development Scheme, aiming to enhance nutrition, health, and empowerment among adolescent girls.A community-based cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out in rural Mahasamund to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, utilization of the Kishori Balika Yojana (KBY), and nutritional status of adolescent girls. A convenient sampling technique selected a sample of 35 adolescent girls. Data collection involved a structured knowledge questionnaire (20 items), a Likert scale (18 items), a checklist (7 items), and a nutritional assessment checklist.Among the 35 adolescent girls, 5 (14.2%) were school dropouts, and 16 (45.7%) were undernourished. Most participants (27 or 77.2%) had moderately adequate knowledge, while 7 (20%) had inadequate knowledge. Perception towards KBY services was neutral for 33 (94.2%) and unfavorable for 2 (5.8%). All 35 girls visited the Anganwadi center; 32 (91.4%) utilized supplementary nutrition services, 33 (94.2%) received iron and folic acid tablets, 22 (62.8%) participated in health checkups, and 17 (48.6%) attended health education sessions. Only 2 (5.7%) were aware of life skills education, and none participated in vocational training services. The study found moderately adequate knowledge, neutral perceptions, and good utilization of supplementary nutrition and iron-folic acid supplementation among the girls. However, participation in health checkups, nutrition and health education, life skills education, and vocational training was limited. Educational interventions and modules on KBY services could enhance knowledge, foster favorable perceptions, and improve utilization of KBY services.
