Predictors of Incidence and Remission of Anemia among Never-Married Adolescents Aged 10-19 Years: A Population-Based Prospective Longitudinal Study in India.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dynamics of the anemia burden among Indian adolescents are poorly understood because of a lack of population-based longitudinal data.

Objectives

To examine the burden of anemia among never-married adolescents aged 10-19 y from the states of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, India, and a wide range of predictors of its incidence and remission.

Methods

A sample of 3279 adolescents (male: 1787 and female: 1492) aged 10-19 y were included from baseline (2015-2016) and follow-up (2018-2019) surveys of the UDAYA (Understanding the Lives of Adolescents and Young Adults) project in India.
