Nutritional Status of Adolescent and College Girl Students in Terms of Haemoglobin Levels and BMI | Chapter 20 | Issues and Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol.10

 A proper diet with enriched nutritious elements promotes better newborn, child, and maternal health, as well as stronger immune systems, safer pregnancy and childbirth, decreased risk of noncommunicable diseases, and longer life. Malnutrition has long been a concern throughout the world, particularly in underdeveloped nations, despite numerous research and community programmes highlighting the importance of good nutrition. Malnutrition encompasses both lack and overnutrition, with anaemia and obesity being the two most common nutritional diseases. The key causal causes for these two ailments include rapid economic expansion, urbanisation, and globalisation in many developing nations, combined with a lack of good nutrients and a high-calorie diet. The types, prevalence, and causes of anaemia, as well as the factors that lead to obesity in adolescent and college girls, are discussed in this chapter. A discussion of the link between anaemia and obesity is included, as well as various solutions to these nutritional problems.
