Edukasi Preventif Anemia Pada Remaja Putri Berbasis Aplikasi Ceria

Anemia is a nutritional problem that is common throughout the world, not only in developing countries but also in developed countries. According to WHO, the incidence of anemia in adolescents is common in developing countries, Indonesia is a developing country. One way to prevent anemia is to use the CERIA application from the Ministry of Health. The CERIA application can monitor young women in monitoring their development and routine of taking blood supplement tablets every week. The aim of this community service is to provide preventive education based on the CERIA application in preventing anemia for young women at SMK X. The method used is the CERIA application from the Ministry of Health. The population is 21 female students consisting of representatives from each class X, XI, XII and members of the OSIS of SMK with a mean of 79.13. This means that female students experienced an increase in scores on knowledge about anemia. The results of the analysis showed that there was an increase in scores before and after being given the intervention, namely the socialization of anemia prevention in young women based on the CERIA application. It is hoped that this program will be able to prevent and manage adolescent girls who experience anemia so that the health status of adolescents can improve.

Importance of Iron:

Iron plays a crucial role in the formation of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen throughout the body. Iron deficiency, causing anemia in teenagers, can result in fatigue, decreased concentration, and even decreased immunity. The prevalence of anemia in Indonesia is high, especially among adolescent girls. Anemia can affect study concentration and productivity. Adolescents' learning concentration is influenced by various factors, including insufficient iron intake. Therefore, this counseling aims to increase understanding of the importance of iron in maintaining energy balance and concentration at school, reducing the impact of anemia on adolescent well-being. These extension activities apply an educational and preventive approach. By providing clear information about the role of iron, the consequences of deficiency, and the impact of anemia, an educational approach is used to increase students' understanding. Anemia education has succeeded in increasing students' understanding of the causes, symptoms, impacts and prevention of anemia. The students' active participation during the session marked a high level of engagement. The conclusion shows that this activity not only provides knowledge, but also increases students' awareness of the link between their health and academic achievement.

Hubungan Pola Menstruasi Dengan Kejadian Anemia Pada Remaja Putri Di SMPN 6 Tapung Kabupaten Kampar

Anaemia is a public health problem that occurs throughout the world, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia, the prevalence of anaemia in women of reproductive age between the ages of (15-49) in the world in 2019 ranged as much as 29.9%. This study aims to determine the relationship between menstrual pattern variables and the incidence of anaemia. The design of this study was cross sectional. The sample in this study was 100 respondents. The hypothesis test used was the Chi-square test. The results of this study are that there is a significant relationship between menstrual patterns and the incidence of anaemia in adolescent girls at SMPN 6 Tapung Kampar Regency in 2023, the value of P value = 0.002 OR (95% CI: 1.778-9.87), and there is a significant relationship between menstrual patterns and the incidence of anaemia in adolescent girls at SMPN 6 Tapung Kampar Regency. It is expected for health workers to be able to make creative and innovative policies in the prevention of anaemia through increasing health education and promotion in schools and fostering the PIK-KRR program (Adolescent Reproductive Health Information and Counseling Center) and UKS (School Health Unit), as well as facilitating adolescents to participate.

Association Between Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Level and Risk of Anemia: An Observational and Mendelian Randomization Study.

Anemia, characterized by low hemoglobin or erythrocyte levels, is a significant global health issue with severe implications for public health. Recent studies have explored the potential link between anemia and 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], yet the precise mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to clarify the possible causal relationship between 25(OH)D levels and anemia risk. We conducted a comprehensive investigation combining observational and Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses. The observational study included detailed demographic, comorbidities, and laboratory data collected from 7160 hospitalized patients in China. For the MR analysis, genetic polymorphisms were utilized to assess causal effects. Observational analysis revealed an inverse relationship between 25(OH)D levels and the risk of anemia, with stratified analysis indicating a nonlinear association and a threshold of 48.716 nmol/L. The MR analysis confirmed a protective causal relationship between higher 25(OH)D levels and a reduced risk of anemia. Bidirectional MR analysis found no evidence that anemia influences 25(OH)D levels. This study provides strong evidence of a causal link between increased 25(OH)D levels and a lower incidence of anemia. The findings highlight the potential role of vitamin D in anemia prevention, supporting the need for further research into vitamin D supplementation as a strategy to reduce anemia risk. Our findings support the hypothesis that higher 25(OH)D levels are causally associated with a reduced risk of anemia, suggesting vitamin D's potential role in anemia prevention and public health strategies.

Indian adolescents' perceptions of anaemia and its preventive measures: Aqualitative study.

High prevalence of anaemia is a severe public health problem in several low- and middle-income countries like India. A qualitative inquiry was designed to understand the perceptions of adolescents regarding anaemia and anaemia prevention measures. Convenience sampling was employed to recruit 39 adolescents (19 girls; 20 boys) from Tikari, India. Interviews were carried out in the local language, audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Hemoglobin concentration was also assessed from a single drop of capillary blood using the HemoCue, and the participants were asked to share their Science/Biology and Home Science textbooks. Interview data was analysed thematically. Descriptive statistics were used to examine the distributions of the hemoglobin data while textbooks were analysed using content analysis to verify the coverage of anaemia and anaemia-related matter. Seven themes were identified: (i) Poor understanding of the term anaemia; (ii) Minimal discussion about anaemia in classroom; (iii) Limited knowledge about symptoms of anaemia; (iv) Limited awareness about prevention and cure of anaemia; (v) Perception of iron folic acid and deworming tablets among students; (vi) Lack of contribution of health workers in the prevention of anaemia; (vii) No knowledge of 'Anemia free India' programme. More than half of the sample had anaemia (16.7% mild anaemia, 33.3% moderate anaemia, 2.8% severe anaemia). Content analysis revealed that there was limited discussion about anaemia in both Home Science and Science textbooks. Behavioural interventions should focus on inculcating healthy culinary and dietary practices and addressing the gaps in knowledge and understanding of anaemia and its prevention among adolescents.

Новые подходы в лечении и профилактике анемии беременных

Iron deficiency anemia is the most common extragenital pathology in pregnancy. Its relevance is determined by its impact on obstetric and perinatal outcomes, since iron deficiency negatively affects the course of pregnancy and fetal development. Timely detection, treatment, and prevention of iron deficiency conditions during pregnancy are necessary to reduce the risk of complications. The article discusses the main issues and criteria of rational diagnosis and modern approaches to the anemia treatment. It notes the importance of timely and full correction of iron deficiency to avoid the development of fetal neurocognitive disorders. Special attention is paid to the choice of iron products, the benefits and drawbacks of various forms of iron that limit their use in pregnant women. Separately, an innovative dosage form sucrosomal® iron is viewed, which can be considered as an effective means of treating this pathology. The article also presents the clinical studies and pharmacokinetic characteristics of oral sucrosomal iron, using which the necessary effect is achieved with lower doses in the absence of adverse events, which is of paramount importance during gestation. KEYWORDS: anemia of pregnancy, iron deficiency anemia, iron deficiency, iron preparations, sucrosomal iron, sucrosome. FOR CITATION: Dobrokhotova Yu.E., Romanovskaya V.V., Narimanova M.R. New methods for the treatment and prevention of anemia during pregnancy. Russian Journal of Woman and Child Health. 2024;7(1):26–34 (in Russ.). DOI: 10.32364/2618-8430-2024-7-1-4.

Validity and Reliability of the Child and Adolescent Version of the Iron Intake Scale (CIIS) as an Educational Tool.

In Asia, 42% of young children suffer from iron deficiency anemia. Children have an increased requirement for iron intake because of growth and physical activity. Education plays an important role in anemia prevention and in ensuring children are aware of appropriate iron intake and the iron content of different foods. As a tool for this purpose, we adapted the adult version of the Revised Iron Intake Scale (RIIS) to create the Child and Adolescent Version of the Iron Intake Scale (CIIS), using illustrations to help children recognize the foods listed in the CIIS. We aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of this new scale. We conducted a cross-sectional study using a self-administered questionnaire to examine the criterion-related validity of the CIIS. We used Spearman's rank correlation coefficient to compare iron intake estimated by the CIIS with that calculated by the Brief-type Diet History Questionnaire (BDHQ-15y), which assesses respondents' dietary habits over the past month and is standardized among Japanese children. The survey was repeated twice to examine reliability. We found a moderate positive correlation for iron intake between the CIIS and BDHQ-15y, with a correlation coefficient of .52 (n = 258, P < .001). Cronbach's alpha coefficient was .718. The CIIS reproducibility test yielded a correlation coefficient of .67. Our results indicated that the CIIS was valid, reliable, and reproducible. We therefore believe that the scale can be used to improve education about iron deficiency anemia and thereby reduce anemia rates among children and adolescents.

Anemia-related subjective symptoms in the general adult population in Japan.

Objectives: Approximately 17% of Japanese women have hemoglobin concentrations less than 12 g/dL. Therefore, anemia prevention and early intervention are crucial public health issues in Japan. This study aimed to identify the symptoms and characteristics of anemic individuals in the general adult population by comparing survey responses of individuals with anemia and without anemia visiting blood donation centers. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study used self-administered questionnaires. Individuals who visited two Japanese Red Cross Society blood donation centers in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan were included. Hemoglobin levels were measured at blood donation, and the levels of 13 g/dL for men and 12 g/dL for women were defined as anemia. Results: Of the 857 individuals analyzed, 530 were men and 327 were women, of whom 19 (3.6%) and 12 (3.7%) had low hemoglobin levels, respectively. Logistic regression analysis was performed in men, and the results showed that "lightheadedness" (odds ratio [OR]=8.4) and "depressive symptoms" (OR=3.6) were significantly associated with hemoglobin levels. None of the evaluated items were significantly associated with hemoglobin levels in women. Conclusion: Among healthy Japanese men, those who exhibit lightheadedness and depressive symptoms have an increased risk of anemia. Lightheadedness and depressive symptoms may be indicative of undiagnosed anemia in men, which necessitates greater clinical attention.

Multi-Level Mixed-Effects Analysis of Stunting Among 6 to 59 Months Children in Ethiopia: Evidenced from Analysis of Health and Demographic Survey, 2000 to 2019

Background. Stunting remains a major public health issue in developing countries like Ethiopia. It is termed as a chronic malnutrition which leads to morbidity and mortality among children. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and factors associated with stunting among 6 to 59 months children in Ethiopia. Methods. A total weighted sample of 34 930 children aged 6 to 59 months was included in this study. A Multilevel Mixed-Effect logistic regression was carried out. The Median Odds Ratio (MOR) and the Intra class Correlation Coefficient (ICC) were calculated. An adjusted odds ratio along with a 95% confidence interval was reported and statistical significance was declared at a P-value ≤ .05. Results. The weighted prevalence of stunting in Ethiopia was 48.3% (95% CI: 47.8%, 48.8%). Being male, increased in age, having multiple births (twin), having less than 2 years birth interval, history of diarrhea, anemia, lack of maternal and paternal formal education, having poor and middle-wealth status, and living in rural areas were significantly associated with stunting. Conclusions. The prevalence of stunting is high in Ethiopia. The risk factors mentioned above increase the likely hood of stunting among children. Therefore, we recommend that responsible bodies place a greater emphasis and priority on promoting parental education, awareness on the impact of the birth interval on child nutrition, the prevention of childhood diarrhea and anemia, improving household economic status, and reducing rural-urban disparities.

Snack Crips from Bay Leaf Flour (Syzygium Polyanthum) Based on Exstruction Technology for Anemia Prevention

Anemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells.Fulfillment of nutritional needs to overcome anemia can be done by consuming foods that contain lots of iron. One of the foods that contain iron is bay leaves. The study aimed to determine the effect of the addition of bay leaves flour on iron levels and the preference of crips snacks . the result showed that the higher the concentration of bay leaf flour added, the iron content of the crips snack will increase. The highest iron content was owned by snack crips with a formulation ratio of corn rice, rice flour, and bay leaves flour of 1 : 2 : 0.5 with an iron content of 10.233%. The highest level of preference by hedonic test for color, texture, and taste was owned by crips snacks with the formulation of corn rice: rice flour: and bay leaves flour of 1 : 2 : 0.25. Increasing concentration of the meal caused a decreased of preference for color and increased texture. The hedonic quality test showed that the addition of bay leaf flour gave a significant effect in the color, aroma, taste and texture of the crips snacks

Milk Supplementation as a Potential Intervention for Overcoming Anemia and Chronic Energy Deficiency during Pregnancy

This study aimed to determine the effect of milk supplementation on Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) and hemoglobin level in pregnant women. It is a quasi-experimental study conducted from May to August 2019. The sampling was done by purposive sampling, and 108 pregnant women were recruited and divided into two groups: intervention group and non-intervention group. The intervention group received Fe-fortified milk supplementation, and the non-intervention group received education on anemia prevention. Data were analyzed using paired t-test. The result was that providing milk supplementation to pregnant women for three months could significantly increase MUAC and prevent further decline in hemoglobin levels.

The effect of nutrition education based on hybrid model on iron deficiency anemia and upper arm circumference among female students

This study aimed to analyze the impact of nutrition education on anemia and upper arm circumference in adolescent women. A total of 97 adolescent women participated in the cluster-randomized control study. The nutrition education intervention, which included both offline and online sessions, made use of a self-created booklet and was delivered by trained nutrition education personnel. Data on socio-demographics were obtained through the interview method. Nutritional status was determined by measuring upper arm circumference (MUAC), and anemia was diagnosed by health personnel after blood hemoglobin levels were examined. The chi-square test and paired and independent t-tests were used to analyze the data. When compared to the control group, nutrition education using booklets showed significant differences in the parameters of knowledge, attitudes, self-efficacy, reinforcing factors, supporting factors, and anemia prevention behavior with each p-value of 0.05. However, the intervention group's hemoglobin level increased more than the control groups. MUAC in the intervention group increased by 0.31 cm, while in the control group it increased by 0.3 cm. However, the difference in difference (DID) analysis did not show a significant difference between the two parameters (p=0.296 and p=0.084). Nutrition education for two months did not increase mean hemoglobin or LILA significantly. However, given the decreasing trend of anemia and the prevalence of CED in the intervention group, structured and routine nutrition education can be implemented as part of nutritional interventions in teenagers to prevent anemia and CED, allowing for long-term effects of interventions to be seen.

Consensus on the clinical diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cancer related anemia in China (2023 edition)

Cancer related anemia (CRA) is a common side effect in patients with tumors, the incidence of which is related to tumor type, treatment regimen, the duration of chemotherapy, etc. The pathogenesis of CRA has not been fully defined. CRA may lead to chemotherapy dose reduction or may even delay chemotherapy. Patients with CRA require red blood cell transfusion, thus increasing the treatment cost, reducing the efficiency of chemotherapy and the patient's quality of life, and shortening the survival time. The main treatments of CRA include red blood cell transfusion, iron supplements, erythropoietin, and so on. Based on recent literature and clinical studies, the expert committee of the China Anti-Cancer Association drew up the consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of anemia related to tumor in China (2023 edition). The 2023 consensus incorporates the latest evidence-based medicine evidence and Traditional Chinese Medicine related content and aims to provide more reliable diagnosis and treatment plans for Chinese oncologists to help improve CRA and the quality of life in patients with cancer.

Anemia is a significant health problem in Indonesia, with a prevalence of 57.7% among adolescents in the Singaparna Health Center area. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between nutritional knowledge, nutritional status, and adherence to the consumption of Blood Added Tablets (TTD) with the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls at SMK Al-Ishlah in 2023. Quantitative research with a cross-sectional approach involved 47 adolescent girls as a sample. Data analysis using SPSS showed that there was no significant relationship between nutritional knowledge (p = 0.654), nutritional status (p = 0.442), and TTD consumption compliance (p = 1,000) with the incidence of anemia. Research recommendations include cooperation between schools and health services to improve adolescent nutrition, monitoring of anemia prevention, nutrition education policies in schools, nutrition campaign programs, educational activities, and developing effective strategies. This study contributes to the development of public health science related to nutrition and anemia.

The application of machine learning approaches to determine the predictors of anemia among under five children in Ethiopia

Health professionals need a strong prediction system to reach appropriate disease diagnosis, particularly for under-five child with health problems like anemia. Diagnosis and treatment delay can potentially lead to devastating disease complications resulting in childhood mortality. However, the application of machine learning techniques using a large data set provides scientifically sounded information to solve such palpable critical health and health-related problems. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the predictors of anemia among under-5 year’s age children in Ethiopia using a machine learning approach. A cross-sectional study design was done using the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey 2016 data set. A two-stage stratified cluster sampling technique was employed to select the samples. The data analysis was conducted using Statistical Package for Social Sciences/SPSS version 25 and R-software. Data were derived from Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey. Boruta algorism was applied to select the features and determine the predictors of anemia among under-5 years-old children in Ethiopia. The machine learning algorism showed that number of children, distance to health facilities, health insurance coverage, youngest child’s stool disposal, residence, mothers’ wealth index, type of cooking fuel, number of family members, mothers’ educational status and receiving rotavirus vaccine were the top ten important predictors for anemia among under-five children. Machine-learning algorithm was applied to determine the predictors of anemia among under- 5 year’s age children in Ethiopia. We have identified the determinant factors by conducting a feature importance analysis with the Boruta algorithm. The most significant predictors were number of children, distance to health facility, health insurance coverage, youngest child’s stool disposal, residence, mothers’ wealth index, and type of cooking fuel. Machine learning model plays a paramount role for policy and intervention strategies related to anemia prevention and control among under-five children.

Knowledge and practices on anemia in representatives of children under 5 years of age from the "Luz y Libertad" Educational Unit in La Concordia, 2023

Childhood anemia is a public health problem that negatively affects the cognitive and physical development of children, with multifactorial causes including nutritional deficiencies and socioeconomic conditions. Diagnosis is based on a complete blood count, and low hemoglobin levels indicate anemia. In Ecuador, factors such as rural residence and micronutrient deficiencies contribute to the prevalence of anemia, with 25.7% of children under five years of age affected. This study, conducted at the "Luz y Libertad" Educational Unit, evaluated the knowledge and practices of 66 mothers about childhood anemia through questionnaires. The results showed a good level of knowledge, especially about the importance of iron, although areas such as the relationship between prolonged breastfeeding and anemia require more education. The economic situation influences child nutrition, with some prioritizing price over nutritional value. It is recommended that educational programs and economic support be implemented to improve the prevention of childhood anemia and ensure healthy development.
