Abstract
ABSTRACT
Anemia is a major nutritional problem worldwide and is mainly caused due to iron deficiency. Though it is global in occurrence, it is more of a concern in the developing countries where it is always associated with the socioeconomic status of the people. Anemia is very high (ranging between 80 and >90%) in preschool children, adolescent girls, and pregnant and lactating women. There are about 1.2 billion adolescents in the world, which is equal to one-fifth of the world's population and their numbers are increasing. This study deals with the prevalence of anemia in the different nations of the world.
