What are the harmful effects of anemia in adolescents? What preventive steps an you take at own level? What are the steps taken by the government to eradicate anemia?
Answers
Answer:
Anemia in the adolescence causes reduced physical and mental capacity and diminished concentration in work and educational performance, and also poses a major threat to future safe motherhood in girls. Primary prevention of anaemia is achieved through well- balanced diet rich in iron and other vitamins and minerals involved in iron absorption or in the production of RBCs/Haemoglobin. Adolescence is a significant period for physical growth and sexual maturation. The interventions include deworming, intensified year-round behaviour change communication campaign, testing and treatment of anaemia using digital methods and point-of-care treatment, mandatory provision of IFA fortified foods in government programmes and intensified awareness screening.
