Community-Led Initiative for Control of Anemia among Children 6 to 35 Months of Age and Unmarried Adolescent Girls in Rural Wardha, India
Food and Nutrition Bulletin, 2020Co-Authors: Amol R Dongre, P R Deshmukh, B S GargAbstract:BackgroundStudies in India have reported a high prevalence of Nutritional Anemia among children and adolescent girls. Nutritional Anemia is associated with impaired mental, physical, and cognitive performance in children and is a significant risk factor for maternal mortality.ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of a community-led initiative for control of Nutritional Anemia among children 6 to 35 months of age and unmarried rural adolescent girls 12 to 19 years of age.MethodsThis Participatory Action Research was done in 23 villages of the Primary Health Centre, Anji, in Wardha District of Maharashtra. In February and March 2008, needs assessment was undertaken by interviewing the mothers of 261 children and 260 adolescent girls. Hemoglobin levels of adolescent girls and children were measured with the use of the hemoglobin color scale. The girls were given weekly iron—folic acid tablets, and the children were given daily liquid iron prophylaxis for 100 days in a year through community participation. The adol...

epidemiological correlates of Nutritional Anemia among children 6 35 months in rural wardha central india
Indian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2008Co-Authors: Nirmalya Sinha, P R Deshmukh, B S GargAbstract:Background and Objectives : Nutritional Anemia is associated with impaired performance of a range of mental and physical functions in children, along with increased morbidity. Iron supplementation at a later age may not reverse the adverse effects. National Nutritional Anemia Control Program was launched in India in 1970, but it failed to make any impact. The present study was undertaken to find out prevalence of Anemia and its correlates in rural Wardha in children 6-35 months of age. Materials and Methods : Seven hundred seventy-two children between 6 months and 35 months of age were studied for Anemia by cluster-sampling method. The hemoglobin was estimated in the child by 'Filter paper cyanmethemoglobin method.' Pre-designed and pre-tested questionnaire was used to collect data on socio-demographic and other variables. Data was analyzed by SPSS 12.0.1. Results : Mean hemoglobin level was 98.5 ± 12.9 gm/L. Prevalence of Anemia was 80.3%. Only 1.3% children had severe Anemia (hemoglobin Interpretation and Conclusion : For short-term impact, appropriate Nutritional interventions remain the only operational intervention as only the Nutritional status (weight for age) is a modifiable factor. But for long-term sustained impact, policy makers need to focus on improving maternal education and reducing family size.

Epidemiological Correlates of Nutritional Anemia in Adolescent Girls of Rural Wardha
Indian Journal of Community Medicine, 2006Co-Authors: S. Kaur, P R Deshmukh, B S GargAbstract:The objectives were to study the epidemiological correlates of Nutritional Anemia among adolescent girls in rural Wardha. A cross-sectional study was carried out in adolescent girls of four villages of Kasturba Rural Health Training Centre Anji. The relevant information was collected with anthropometric measurements and hemoglobin estimation. Univariate and Multivariate Logistic Regression analysis was done using SPSS 10. The prevalence of Anemia was found to be 59.8%. In univariate analysis low socioeconomic status low iron intake vegetarian diet history of worm infestation and history of excessive menstrual bleeding showed significant association with Anemia. While Multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that strongest predictor of Anemia was vegetarian diet (OR=5.83 CI=3.73-9.13) followed by history of excessive menstrual bleeding (OR=5.65 CI=1.26-25.38) iron intake

prevalence of Nutritional Anemia and hyperhomocysteinemia in urban elderly
Indian Journal of Clinical Biochemistry, 2019Co-Authors: Sai Santhosh Vadakattu, Laxmi Rajkumar Ponday, Arlappa Nimmathota, Balakrishna Nagalla, Divya Shoshanni Kondru, Prasad Undrajavarapu, Bhoja Raju Banavath, Sivakesava Rao Kommula, Ravinder Punjal, Suryanarayana PallaAbstract:The data on the prevalence of Nutritional Anemia among the urban elderly population in India was limited. Hence, the present study was carried out with an aim to assess the prevalence of Nutritional Anemia and its association with vitamin B12, folate, ferritin and homocystine among the urban elderly population. A community- based cross-sectional study was carried out among 282 urban elderly (≥ 60 years) subjects (186 males and 96 females) in Hyderabad. Fasting blood samples were collected and hemoglobin (Hb) was estimated by cyanmethemoglobin method. Plasma Folic acid and vitamin B12 levels were estimated by RIA and homocysteine and ferritin levels were estimated by ELISA methods. The overall prevalence of Anemia (Hb < 12 g/dL for females and < 13 g/dL for males) among the urban elderly was 20.6% and the prevalence was found to be increasing with the age. The prevalence of vitamin B12 (< 203 pg/mL), folic acid (< 4 ng/mL), ferritin (< 15 ng/mL) and hyperhomocysteinemia (≥ 12 µmol/L) in these subjects was 36.0%, 8.2%, 1.1% and 24.3% respectively. The prevalence of Anemia due to deficiencies of iron (ferritin < 15 ng/mL), folate and vitamin B12 was 5.45%, 9.1% and 42.3% respectively. A significant association was observed between the prevalence of Anemia with ferritin and hyperhomocysteinemia. In conclusion, the prevalence of Anemia and Nutritional Anemia among the urban-based elderly was 20.6% and 56.85% respectively. The association of Anemia with hyperhomocysteinemia needs further studies.

Mother's iron status, breastmilk iron and lactoferrin – are they related?
European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2006Co-Authors: M M A Faridi, O Singh, U RusiaAbstract:Objective:Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended till 6 months age. Factors regulating the breastmilk iron and lactoferrin levels are incompletely known. Considering high prevalence of Nutritional Anemia in lactating mothers, we studied the iron status of lactating mothers, their breastmilk iron and lactoferrin levels to determine any relationship between them.Design:Prospective study with 6 months follow-up.Setting:Tertiary care referral hospital.Subjects:Hundred nonanemic and 100 anemic mothers with their babies recruited at birth. Fifty-two nonanemic and 50 anemic mothers and their babies completed the 6-month follow-up.Interventions:Hemoglobin (Hb), total iron binding capacity (TIBC), percent transferrin saturation (%TS), serum iron (SI) and serum ferritin measured on day 1 and 6 months postpartum. Breastmilk iron and lactoferrin measured on day 1, 14 weeks and 6 months after delivery.Results:Breastmilk iron decreased progressively from day 1 to 14 weeks and at 6 months in both groups, but no significant difference was noted between nonanemic and anemic mothers ( P >0.05). Significant decline in breastmilk lactoferrin concentration from day 1 to 14 weeks in nonanemic and anemic mothers ( P
