Abstract
Background: Nutritional anemia is a disorder that cause due to a lack of one or more vital nutrients, such as iron, protein, vitamin B12, and other vitamins and minerals. In this condition hemoglobin content in the blood is lower than usual. Nutritional anemia has been described as correlated with reduced childhood emotional, physical, and cognitive function and is a major risk factor for maternal mortality.
 Objective: 1. To assess the prevalence of nutritional anemia among adolescent girls. 2. To assess the causes of nutritional anemia among adolescent girls. 3. To associate the demographic variable with prevalence and causes of nutritional anemia among adolescent girls.
 Methodology: This is a cross sectional observational study will be conducted among the adolescent girls where age is between 10-14 years, the sample size can be calculated statistically by using the prevalence of previous studies which done in India and the sample size is 220 adolescent girls selected in a particular rural community area of Wardha district. Non-probability convenience sampling will be using for sample collection. The standard haemoglobinometer (Accusure HB meter) for analyzing the haemoglobin according to WHO criteria and structure questionnaire scale is made upon the causes behind the nutritional anemia. According to some previous studies, the prevalence rate has been shown high in the adolescent age group so this study help to find the prevalence rate in a particular community and the causes of nutritional anemia among adolescent girls.
 Expected Results: In this study the researcher evaluate the prevalence and its causes of nutritional anemia among adolescent girls, this study will show the rate of prevalence in the particular community area and also the causes of nutritional anemia among adolescent girls.
 Conclusion: The conclusion will be drawn from the results.

Summary
Nutritional anemia is a disorder that cause due to a lack of one or more vital nutrients, such as iron, protein, vitamin B12, and other vitamins and minerals, in this condition the haemoglobin content in the blood is lower than usual [1]. Insufficient iron access, severe menstrual blood loss, recurrent internal bleeding due to infection of hookworms, and malaria this are the causes behind the high prevalence of anemia in India. Studies by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and the District Level Household Survey (DLHS) have shown that the prevalence of anemia in pre-school infants, pregnant and lactating mothers, and teenage girls is very high (ranging from 80 to 90%). Low birth weight babies, young children and women of childbearing age are at risk for anemia. This is how anemia starts in infancy, worsens in girls during puberty, and gets worse during pregnancy. Teenage girls are especially vulnerable to iron deficiency anaemia [10]
