Prevalence and risk factors of anemia among adolescent females in Beni-Suef governorate, Upper Egypt.
Objectives: To estimate anemia prevalence and risk factors among adolescent females in Beni-Suef Governorate.
Methods: A population-based cross-sectional mixed quantitative and qualitative survey was conducted among 1000 adolescent females in the seven Beni-Suef governorate, Upper Egypt districts from November 2023 to March 2024. A structured questionnaire including socio-demographic and menstrual history was used. Focus group discussions (FGD) were conducted to assess their awareness. Hemoglobin testing was performed on the participants, and the diseased ones were treated.
Results: Anemia is highly prevalent among adolescent females in the Beni-Suef governorate (35.8 %). Residence (Adjusted OR=0.652, 95 % CI:0.439-0.970), and daily number of pads (Adjusted OR=1.208, 95 % CI:1.006-1.451) were found to be statistically significant risk factors for anemia in adolescent females.
Conclusions: Anemia is highly prevalent among adolescent females. Early assessment and management of anemia is highly recommended. Nutritional interventions such as food fortification, supplementation, and nutrition education should be provided. Micronutrient supplementation programs should be implemented in all basic schools, and extensive nutrition awareness initiatives should be implemented for adolescent females and caregivers.
