“…In addition to nutritional and health status, several scholars reported associations between anemia and biological, socioeconomic, ecological, educational, behavioral, and political factors. [10][11][12][13] The shortage of data and studies that estimate the prevalence of anemia and micronutrient deficiency and their impacts on healthy women is notable. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess anemia proxies, which lead to the prevalence of anemia and associated risk factors among non-pregnant women in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.…”

Background Iron deficiency is known to be the most common nutritional disorder. About 30% of the world’s population is iron deficient (ID). Women are more likely to be exposed to anemia than men, which is an epidemic public health problem. Objective A cross-sectional study was carried out to investigate the prevalence of anemia and associated risk factors among non-pregnant women in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methods Non-pregnant women (n = 250) aged 20–65 years were involved in this study. Sociodemographic, nutritional status, menstrual history, anthropometric and haematological properties were calculated. Anaemia proxies including haemoglobin (HB), serum ferritin (IDA), Haematocrit (Hct), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) were determined as well as BMI. Results The respondents were varied according to demographic factors and according to anemia proxies, the majority of them suffered from anemia. The Student’s t -test analysis showed that the average daily food intake was lower than that of the dietary requirement intake (DRI). Correlation and logistic regression analysis between sociodemographic factors and anemia proxies revealed that most of such factors significantly and negatively affected anemia proxies. Moreover, the correlation of daily food intake and anemia proxies showed that the nutrients responsible for the improvement of anemia proxies were not taken in sufficient amount as indicated by a significant and positive correlation. Conclusion In conclusion, various factors including demographic factors, daily food intake appeared to be associated with anemia proxies, which are the most important risk factor for anemia among non-pregnant women in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

BACKGROUNDAdolescence is the important period of life when 35% of adult weight and 11-18% of adult height is acquired. But Adolescent girls (AGs) are particularly at high risk of malnutrition because of gender discrimination in distribution of, and access to, food within the family. Objective-To assess the prevalence of stunting and thinness among AGs in slums of Dibrugarh district of Assam and the factors influencing. MATERIALS AND METHODSA community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in slums of Dibrugarh town of Assam among AGs between 10-19 years. Sample size was calculated to be 135. Two stage sampling was carried out. Firstly, out of 10 registered slums, 5 were selected randomly. Sample was divided proportionately between the 5 slums based on population. In second stage, AGs from each slum were selected by consecutive sampling. Nutritional status was determined using BMI and Height for age using WHO standard. RESULTSPrevalence of thinness among AGs was 28.89% and stunting 42.2%. Thinness was found to be significantly associated with educational qualification of father (p=0.045) and educational qualification of mother of AG (p=0.006). CONCLUSIONThinness and stunting among AGs in slums of Dibrugarh town was 28.89% and 42.2% respectively.

A cross sectional study was carried out in two phases on randomly selected 300 school girls (14-18 years) studying in Government senior secondary schools of Bikaner district. An interview schedule was developed, pre tested and administered for data collection. During first phase, all subjects were assessed for their general information, anthropometric measurements and lifestyle practices. For second phase, fifty per cent (n=150) of the total subjects assessed during first phase, were identified using PPS technique, to study their TEI, TEE, energy balance and correlations between different parameters. The mean BMI (19.30 and 19.93 kg/m 2 ), WHR (0.80±.06 and 0.79±0.06) and MUAC (23.62±4.28 and 23.99±3.71cm) values respectively, of 14-15 and 16-18 years of the subjects were in accordance with reference values. The lifestyle practices indicated that most of the subjects spent their leisure time on mobile/internet and watching TV. They were fond of having fast foods frequently. During second phase, TEI and TEE of the subjects was determined and as per the mean values, they fell in negative energy balance status. A positive and significant correlation co-efficient was found between TEI as well as TEE of the subjects with their BMI, WC, HC, WHR, MUAC and TEE values.
