“…The present finding is higher than study report from Tigray, Ethiopia 7.1% [12], prevalence of Anaemia was 14% [22]. On other side, the current finding is lower than study report of Maharashtra, India 87% [23], rural adolescent 75% [24]; in Bangladesh 51.6% [25]; in Tertiary Care Hospital 50% [26]; Jimma, South West Ethiopia 37.6% [27]; South west of Ethiopia 28% [6]; and Afar, North East Ethiopia 22.8% [29]. The reason for variation might be socioeconomical and geographical differences contributed.…”

Introduction: During adolescent anaemia has negative consequence on cognitive, work performance and economic productive. However, there is limited evidence on the prevalence and factors associated with anaemia among adolescent girls. Objectives: To assess the prevalence and associated factors of anaemia among rural adolescent girls in Hadero Tunto zuria district, Southern Ethiopia. Methods: A community based comparative cross-sectional study was conducted among adolescent girls 10-19 years. A total of 406 subjects were randomly selected. A structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. Blood haemoglobin level was determined from capillary blood using the Haemocue method. Data were entered into computer and analyzed using SPSS versions 20.0. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine the factors associated with anaemia. Result: The mean (±SD) of haemoglobin concentration adjusted for altitude was 13.7+1.2 (SD) and ranged from 8 to 16.6g/dl. Over all prevalence of anaemia was found to be 15.2% [95%CI: 11.68%, 18.72%]. Out of the total 406 adolescent girls 13.7% [95%

“…As prevalence of anaemia is 50%, it needs intervention for its prevention and control. [10] In the present study, the overall prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in the present study was 15.28 percent. Ahankari AS et al investigated the prevalence and risk factors associated with IDA in rural Maharashtra, India, to address current evidence gaps.…”

Background:The most significant and common cause of anemia is iron deficiency. Hence, we planned the present study to assess the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia among known population. Subjects and Methods: A total of 350 subjects who reported to the department of internal medicine for routine checkup were included in the present study.Blood samples were obtained from all the subjects and were sent to central laboratory for the assessment of blood hemoglobin levels. Criteria described in the past literature were used for categorizing patients with iron deficiency anemia. Females with mean hemoglobin concentration less than 11.5 g/dL, and males with mean hemoglobin concentrations less than14 g/dL were categorized as anemic.6 All the results were analyzed by SPSS software. Results: Overall prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in the present study was 15.28 percent. The overall prevalence of iron deficiency anemia was found to be higher among subjects with more than 60 years of age. Also, significantly higher prevalence of iron deficiency anemia was found among females. Conclusion: Prevalence of iron deficiency anemia was found to be higher among females and illiterates. Therefore health education programs are recommended in future for increasing the awareness of adverse events associated with iron deficiency anemia among general population.

“…Iron deficiency anemia is characterized by decreased hemoglobin synthesis leading to hypochromic and microcytic RBC production. Causes of IDA include reduced iron intake or absorption, increased iron demand during adolescence and pregnancy, bariatric surgery, heavy blood loss during menstruation, chronic gastrointestinal (GI) blood loss, polyps, or carcinoma . Affected individuals present with fatigue, dyspnea, pale conjunctiva, headaches, and pica.…”

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most prevalent and treatable form of anemia worldwide. The clinical management of patients with IDA requires a comprehensive understanding of the many etiologies that can lead to iron deficiency including pregnancy, blood loss, renal disease, heavy menstrual bleeding, inflammatory bowel disease, bariatric surgery, or extremely rare genetic disorders. The treatment landscape for many causes of IDA is currently shifting toward more abundant use of intravenous (IV) iron due to its effectiveness and improved formulations that decrease the likelihood of adverse effects. IV iron has found applications beyond treatment of IDA, and there is accruing data about its efficacy in patients with heart failure, restless leg syndrome, fatigue, and prevention of acute mountain sickness. This review provides a framework to diagnose, manage, and treat patients presenting with IDA and discusses other conditions that benefit from iron supplementation.

Prevalence of Iron Deficiency and Iron Deficiency Anaemia in Adolescent Girls in a Tertiary Care Hospital

Abstract: Introduction: Iron Deficiency Anaemia (IDA) is a global health problem. It involves population of all age group and sex. But adolescent girls are more vulnerable to it. The reasons may be increased iron demand, menstrual blood loss, infection, worm infestation etc.
