Lucknow Study Reveals High Anemia Rate Among Adolescent Girls Linked to Diet
A study by King George's Medical University in Lucknow found that 89% of girls aged 12-15 visiting the hospital suffered from anemia, primarily linked to poor dietary habits. Nearly three-quarters of these girls regularly consumed fast food instead of home-cooked meals, and only a quarter ate green leafy vegetables daily. Despite awareness of anemia's effects, behavioral changes were lacking, with many girls perceiving iron-rich foods as unappealing.
