Correlation of Level of Haemoglobin With Iron and Vitamin C Among Adolescent Girls With Iron Deficiency Anemia Undergoing Nutritional Support Therapy

Abstract

The aim of the study is to find the correlation of haemoglobin with iron and vitamin c among adolescent girls with iron deficiency anemia undergoing nutritional support therapy at selected higher secondary school in Bangalore, Karnataka. Materials and Methods: An experimental design with pre test and post test control group was used for the study. The total sample consists of 120 adolescent girls between the age group of 14-17 years studying at selected higher secondary school using simple random sampling method. The sixty participants from Srigandhadakaval Public School was taken to control group and sixty participants from Gangothri Public School was taken to experimental group. Haemoglobin is estimated b y using automated hematology analyser, iron by Ferene method and vitamin C by HPLC method. The Karl Pearson's correlation coefficient was carried out to correlate between level of haemoglobin vitamin c and iron. Results: Showed that the level of haemoglobin and vitamin C were highly corr elated except in experimental pre test, the level of haemoglobin and iron were marginally correlated in control group as well as in the experimental group. Whereas the level of vitamin c and iron correlated in control group not in the experimental group. Conclusion: There was a po sitive correlation between level of haemoglobin with iron and vitamin C.

Dietary Practices, Nutrient Adequacy, and Nutrition Status among Adolescents in Boarding High Schools in the Kilimanjaro Region, Tanzania

“…Vitamin C is an antioxidant that has a preventive role of noncommunicable diseases such as some cancers and cardiovascular diseases [ 74 ]. Also, vitamin C is an important enhancer in the absorption of nonhem iron in the body [ 74 – 76 ]. The majority of adolescents in the study population were below the RDA for vitamin C. Sources of vitamin C for boarding scholars were limited, and fresh oranges were observed to be the main source.…”

HUBUNGAN ASUPAN ZAT BESI, PROTEIN, VITAMIN C DAN POLA MENSTRUASI DENGAN KADAR HEMOGLOBIN PADA REMAJA PUTRI DI SMAN 1 MANYAR GRESIK<br><i>[Correlation Between Intake of Iron, Protein, Vitamin C and Menstruation Pattern with Haemoglobin Concentration among Adolescent Girl in Senior High School 1 Manyar Gresik]</i></br>

“…Remaja putri dengan asupan vitamin C rendah mempunyai resiko 1,58 kali lebih tinggi menderita anemia dibandingkan remaja putri dengan asupan vitamin C yang mencukupi (Choiriyah, 2015). Asupan vitamin C berhubungan secara bermakna terhadap kadar hemoglobin pada siswi dengan anemia defi siensi zat besi (Resmi et al, 2017).…”

The Effect of Pumpkin Seeds Biscuits and Moringa Extract Supplementation on Hemoglobin, Ferritin, C-reactive protein, and Birth Outcome for Pregnant Women: A Systematic Review

“…Intervention with ready-to-eat cereal (providing 7.1 mg iron/day) plus 30 g of pumpkin seed kernels (providing 4.0 mg iron/day) for 4 weeks contributes to maintaining optimal nutritional status and minimizing the likelihood of iron insufficiencies in woman reproductive age which was increasing of serum iron, percent transferrin saturation, and reducing TIBC [15]. The formulation of amla, jaggery, and pumpkin leaves shows a greater potential in the combination therapy of herbal medicines in the management of anemia which was influence to increase hemoglobin, Vitamin C, and iron plasma in adolescents girls with iron deficiency anemia [16]. Study in Egypt was showed that supplementation of cooked soybean, cooked lentils, sesame seed, pumpkin seed, molasses, and mixture of them (soybean + lentils + sesame seed + Pumpkin seed powder + molasses) with ascorbic acid in rats revealed significant increase in Hb, Hct, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular Hb, MCH concentration (MCHC), red blood cell, white blood cell, serum iron, and significant decreased in PT and TIBC [4].…”
