- W2531315975 abstract "<p><strong>BACKGROUND:</strong> People of border areas are socio‑economically underdeveloped and medically underserved. Anemia in the growing phase of life impairs the physical and cognitive functions and in turn, hampers the overall development of the country. <strong>OBJECTIVE(S):</strong> To find out the prevalence, socio‑demographic correlates, and risk factors of anemia among adolescents residing in a border area. <strong>MATERIALS AND METHODS:</strong> A community‑based descriptive cross‑sectional study was carried out among 370 adolescents selected randomly by multistage and 30‑clusters random sampling method. Data pertaining to the socio‑demographic factors, life style and diet pattern, relevant health problems, and care‑seeking were collected by a pre‑designed schedule. Venous blood was examined by cyanmethemoglobin method to assess the Hemoglobin level. <strong>RESULTS:</strong> The overall prevalence of anemia was revealed to be 83.78% with a significant female predilection (92.59% vs. 76.92%, χ2 = 16.46 at degree of freedom = 1, P < 0.05; odds ratio (OR) = 3. 75, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.84‑7.77). The prevalence was higher among early adolescents compared with mid- and late-adolescents (χ2 (overall) = 9.14, at df=2, P = 0.0103) but significant female preponderance was found in the last group with χ2 = 12.5, df = 1, P < 0.05; OR(CI) = 4.29 (1.73-11.02). Anemia was revealed to be associated with lower literacy and socio-economic status (P < 0.05), bare-foot walking (P < 0.05), open-field defecation (P < 0.05), worm-infestation (P < 0.05), and care-seeking from unauthorized medical practitioners (P < 0.05) . <strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> Strict implementation of the National Anemia Control Programme as a component of school health and other health services through sub‑centers and Anganwadi Centers is the need of the moment to chain the anemia.</p>" @default.
