“…Contrary to the findings of earlier study (Ali and Rizvi, 2010), eating patterns were less affected by the menstruation which was due to the fact that our study cohort comprised of girls acquiring tertiary education. However, it was worrisome to see that 31% respondents' reported of eating lesser than normal during menstruation and this may cause iron-deficiency anemia as adolescent girls, particularly in developing countries, are more at risk because of inadequate diet, loss of substantial amount of iron during menstruation, and early marriages (Chaturvedi et al, 2017;Panat et al, 2013;Dixit et al, 2011). The myths (beliefs that certain foods will make them sick in the present or have deleterious effect in future) that prevailed among our study participants were avoiding "too cold foods" or "too hot foods" and decreased fluid intake which was consistent with the study conducted in Pakistani (Ali and Rizvi, 2010) and Saudi Arabian school girls (Moawed, 2001).…”

Information regarding the menstrual knowledge and practices of Pakistani girls is sparse. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the knowledge and practices of Pakistani girls regarding menstruation. This cross-sectional study was conducted among four categories of university female students of medical, pharmacy, nursing, and arts & humanities during a period of 5 months (November 2016-March 2017. The data were acquired using a selfadministered questionnaire from 3 medical institutes, 2 pharmacy institutes, 3 nursing institutes and 2 arts & humanities institutes at Lahore, Pakistan. The mean age of participants (N ¼ 1777) was 20.38 AE 2.39 years. Overall 39.5%, 76.1% and 29.3% respondents' provided correct answers to the questions concerning menstrual cycle length, duration of menstrual bleeding and source of bleeding, respectively. Regarding the understanding of menstruation, around 27% understood it as monthly bleeding happening with every woman, whereas 18% stated that it was a sign of adulthood. However, a small proportion believed that it was removal of dirt from the body. Regarding the practices-related to menstruation, there were some malpractices regarding diet and dietary intake (avoiding certain foods, eating less, and less fluid intake). However, the hygienic practices were found to be satisfactory. In conclusion, Pakistani university girls have some misconceptions, misperceptions and malpractices related to menstruation. Our findings draw attention to conduct awareness programs in order to eradicate these misconceptions, myths and malpractices.

“…A number of factors contribute to the prevalence of anemia in female adolescents such as some nutrient deficiencies including iron intake, acute and chronic inflammations, and increased iron loss from the body during menstruation [10]. Unhealthy eating behavior and habits such as snacking and fast food consumption, which consist of low micronutrients, especially iron, high calorie and fat and high salt, also result in increase of anemia prevalence [11], [12]. Moreover, excessive nutrient intake is strongly associated with inflammation, which is characterized by macrophage infiltration into adipose tissues, leading to adipose hypertrophy and hyperplasia [13].…”

Female adolescents are at high risk of anemia due to nutrient deficiencies and unhealthy lifestyle. Fast food consumption and snacking with high calories, carbohydrates and fat are very common in adolescent daily life that can cause inflammation by which macrophage infiltration into adipose tissues leading to hypertrophy and hyperplasia. This situation triggers the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) which inhibits iron metabolism. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the correlation of fast food consumption and snacking with hemoglobin (Hb) levels in female adolescents. This cross sectional research study was performed among 117 female adolescents of high and vocational schools in Karanganyar Regency, which were selected using the stratified random sampling. Data of fast food consumption and snacking were collected using the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), and hemoglobin levels were determined using a hematology analyzer. To test data normality, we used the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The Spearman rank was used to analyze individual correlation of variables with Hb levels, and all together variables were analyzed using a multiple linear regression test. A total of 17.1 % female adolescents suffered from anemia. Fast food consumption (r = -3.47; p = 0.001) significantly correlated with Hb levels but not for snacking (r = -1.44; p = 0.152). In conclusion, fast food consumption negatively correlates with Hb levels in female adolescents while snacking does not. Education of healthy nutrition is required for prevention of anemia in female adolescents.

Background: Due to lack of consumption of nutrients by cell the Nutritional anemia occurs. Iron, folic acid, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C and protein are vital nutrients whose deficiency can lead to nutritional anemia. Aim: To study the magnitude of anaemia in young females and its association with diet pattern. Materials and Methods: Study was done as a cross-sectional study in young females of age 18 to 40. Demographic details like age, height, body weight, and the dietary patterns comprising food habits were recorded. Hematological parameters were obtained using automated haematology cell counter and peripheral blood smears by microscopy. Results: In this study 100 females were included, 62% of participants were anemic, the mean years of age in the study participants was 26.52±3.48 years. 44% of participants had mild anemia followed by 16% had moderate anemia and 2% had severe anemia. On further analysis of dietary habits, 47% of women not taking green leafy vegetables had mild to moderate anemia, 25% of women drinking tea or coffee after the meal had mild anemia and 14% of women eating junk foods and 5% of women eating less fruits had mild to moderate anemia. Conclusion: Improving women's health education on the consumption of iron-rich foods and healthy diet habits is instrumental in preventing nutritional anemia could be the single most important intervention to reduce India's anemia burden.
