“…14,26,27 Our search for primary trials on iron supplementation in adolescents identified 11 studies, of which seven reported serum hemoglobin as an outcome. [46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56] Studies were conducted in India, Iran, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, the United States, and Vietnam and provided iron as ferrous sulfate preparations in dosages ranging from 50 to 260 mg. The pooled analysis showed a significant impact of iron supplementation on improving serum hemoglobin levels (SMD 1.83; 95% CI 0.59-3.08; seven studies; n = 1257) ( Fig.…”

Adolescence is a critical stage in the life cycle, and adequate nutrition is necessary for the proper growth and development of individuals and their offspring. Here, we comprehensively review all published systematic reviews (through October 2016) on adolescents (10-19 years) and women of reproductive age, including pregnant women, which targeted interventions related to nutrition. For interventions where there was no existing systematic review on adolescents, we reviewed primary studies/trials. We included interventions on micronutrient supplementation (iron, folic acid, iron-folic acid (IFA), calcium, vitamin D, vitamin A, zinc, iodine, and multiple micronutrients), food/protein energy supplementation, nutrition education for pregnant adolescents, obesity prevention and management, and management of gestational diabetes. We identified a total of 35 systematic reviews, of which only five were conducted on adolescents, and 107 primary studies on adolescents. Our review suggests that iron alone, IFA, zinc, and multiple micronutrient supplementation in adolescents can significantly improve serum hemoglobin concentration. While zinc supplementation in pregnant adolescents showed improvements in preterm birth and low birth weight, we found a paucity of trials on calcium, vitamin D, vitamin A, and iodine supplementation. We found limited evidence on food/protein energy supplementation in adolescents. Interventions to prevent and manage obesity showed a nonsignificant impact on reducing body mass index. This review underscores the importance of adolescent nutrition interventions. It is imperative that countries design nutritional interventions, particularly for adolescents.

“…who received intermittent iron supplementation on a weekly basis have experience a good effect on increasing their haemoglobin and ferritin level with minor effect on digestion. 5 Supplementation with fortified iron has shown mixed results on the increase of haemoglobin level [9][10] [11]. Average fortification of iron supplementation has minimal side effects with positive effects on increasing haemoglobin levels.…”

The iron nutrition supplementation is an intervening strategy in tackling the anaemia deficiency among children and adolescent girls for the realization of a healthy and productive generation. To measure the effect of iron supplementation programs in increasing the concentration of haemoglobin and serum ferritin for the prevention and control of iron deficiency. The literature review was conducted using the sources from PubMed, Ebsco Health and Google Scholar database. Searches were limited to journals published between 2010 and 2019. There were 11 articles related to the effects of iron supplementation programs and iron fortification in schools. The articles discussed the intervention study that assessed the effects of iron supplementation in increasing the level of haemoglobin and serum ferritin. We found that there were variations in hematologic responses. Additionally, there was a significant increase in the level of haemoglobin and serum ferritin after the intervention of the program. The main predictor of the increase of the level of haemoglobin was the initial status of Hb. We also found, however, that there were insignificant results in the samples with high initial haemoglobin level as well the intervention with the lack of supervision. Moreover, we found that during the period of 12-to-24-week intervention with frequency of the iron supplementation once a week, the concentration of haemoglobin decreased from 121.5 g/l, and on the 36 th week, there was a decrease of haemoglobin level to 119.1 g/l. The occurrence of the side effect of iron varies based on the frequency of the intervention. The implementation of a school-based program of iron supplementation is effective to increase the levels of Hb and ferritin in blood. The management of the program needs to involve the family members in terms of monitoring the constancy and the side effects. The sustainability of the program needs to be strengthened through education and motivation to teachers and students as well as the development of a comprehensive integrated system for the prevention and control of anaemia deficiency.
