Processing Abilities

Purpose This study evaluated the peripheral hearing and central auditory processing abilities in Indian adolescent girls with iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Method The participants consisted of 75 adolescent girls with IDA, 50 adolescent girls without IDA, and 50 adolescent boys without IDA. Participants underwent a test battery to evaluate auditory processing and peripheral hearing assessment. In this study, central auditory processing abilities were assessed using Speech Perception in Noise test in Kannada (SPIN-K) and quick speech perception in noise tests in Kannada, dichotic consonant–vowel test, gap detection threshold (GDT), and auditory digit sequencing and auditory digit span tests. Results Results showed that the hearing thresholds at extremely low and high frequencies (250 and 8000 Hz), although within clinically normal limits, were poorer in girls with IDA than in the control groups. Also, girls with IDA performed poorly in SPIN-K of the right ear, GDT, and auditory backward digit span tests. Conclusion These subtle auditory deficiencies may be attributed to the compromised blood supply to the central auditory nervous system, as observed in the current study.

Background: Anemia in adolescent girls possess greatest burden on their health as it leads to poor cognitive development, poor reproductive health and if not treated may lead to intrauterine growth retardation in their developing fetus. The prevalence of anemia among adolescent is 27% in developing country and 6% in developed country. The Government of India has launched National Anemia Control Programme, to prevent and control anaemia in children and adolescents. But the problem is still persisting because of many issues like - poor palatability, intolerance to the drug used, poor absorption of the drugs used, constipation, discoloration of stool, unpleasant odor and taste etc. result in poor compliance and therefore non adherence to the therapy which finally results in poor improvement. By looking at the magnitude of the problem, an Ayurveda drug Vajravatakmandura has been selected for the study and the present study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of the trial drug in iron deficiency anemia in adolescent girls. Material and methods: 100 subjects satisfying inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected and were randomly divided in two groups. In group A, the trial drug Vajravatakmaņdura was administered and in group B, IFA tablets were given for two month of duration with follow up at every fortnight. Result: Both the trial and control groups showed extremely significant result over subjective parameters. Trial drug Vajravatakmaņdura in group A was found more effective over the subjective parameters - weakness, palpitation, pallor and loss of appetite with % gain of 39.77%, 39.39%, 39.17%, 38.09% respectively. Statistical analysis between before and after treatment findings of objective parameters, extremely significant (P less than 0.0001) improvement was found in both groups in all parameters, except for RBC count in group A, which was significant. No adverse effects were reported during entire period of study by any of the patients in trial group treated with trial drug. Conclusion: The trial drug “Vajravatakmandura” is effective, safe and palatable for the management of iron deficiency anemia in adolescent girls.

One of the nutritional problems that often occurs among adolescents is iron deficiency anemia. Especially for adolescent girls who have a higher risk of anemia than adolescent boys. Based on data from Riskesdas 2018, the prevalence of anemia in adolescents aged 15-24 years is 32%, meaning that there are still anemia problems in Indonesia that have not been resolved. The purpose of this community dedication activity is to provide education about iron deficiency anemia for adolescent girls using leaflet media. The target of this community dedication activity is adolescent girls aged 12-19 years in the JABODETABEK area. The community dedication activity is carried out online through the WhatsApp group due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There are 31 adolescent girls who participated in this community dedication activity. This community dedication activity consists of three stages including pretest, education with leaflets, and posttest. The amount and types of pretest and posttest questions are the same. The amount of questions given is 15 questions. The correct answer is given a score of 10 and the wrong one is given a score of 0. The level of knowledge of adolescent girls is categorized as 3 groups, which is less if the correct answer is <60%, sufficient if the correct answer is 60-80%, and good if the correct answer is >80%. Most of the adolescent girls are in the age range of 17-19 years (54.8%). The results showed that there was an increase in knowledge about iron deficiency anemia in adolescent girls. The results of the Wilcoxon signed rank test showed significantly different pretest and posttest results (p-value = 0.000), so it can be concluded that providing education using leaflets can help increase knowledge of iron deficiency anemia for adolescent girls.Salah satu masalah gizi yang sering terjadi pada kalangan remaja yaitu anemia defisiensi besi. Khususnya bagi remaja putri yang memiliki risiko lebih tinggi mengalami anemia dibandingkan remaja putra. Berdasarkan data Riskesdas 2018, prevalensi anemia pada remaja berusia 15-24 tahun sebesar 32%, artinya masih terdapat permasalahan anemia di Indonesia yang belum teratasi. Tujuan dari pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah untuk memberikan edukasi mengenai anemia defisiensi besi bagi remaja putri dengan media leaflet. Sasaran dari kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah remaja putri berusia 12-19 tahun di wilayah JABODETABEK. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat dilakukan secara online melalui grup whatsappkarena kondisi pandemi covid-19. Total remaja putri yang mengikuti kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat berjumlah 31 orang. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini terdiri dari tiga tahapan diantaranya pretest, edukasi dengan leaflet, dan posttest.  Jumlah dan jenis pertanyaan pretest dan posttest sama. Jumlah pertanyaan yang diberikan adalah 15 soal. Jawaban yang benar diberikan nilai 10 dan yang salah diberikan nilai 0. Tingkat pengetahuan remaja putri dikelompokkan menjadi 3 diantaranya kurang jika jawaban yang benar < 60%, cukup jika jawaban yang benar 60-80%, dan baik jika jawaban yang benar > 80%. Sebagian besar remaja putri berada pada rentang usia 17-19 tahun (54,8%). Hasil menunjukkan bahwa terdapat peningkatan pengetahuan mengenai anemia defisiensi besi pada remaja putri. Hasil uji Wilcoxon signed rank test menunjukkan hasil pretest dan posttest yang berbeda nyata (p-value = 0,000), sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa pemberian edukasi menggunakan leaflet dapat membantu meningkatkan pengetahuan anemia defisiensi besi bagi remaja putri.

AbstractBackground:  Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in adolescent girls has strong health implications during re-productive years. Current research aimed to assess prevalence and determinants of iron deficiency anemia in adolescent girls of low income families residing in semi urban communities of Lahore, Pakistan.Method:  This cross sectional analytical study selected 116 unmarried adolescent girls between the ages of 13 – 19 years from low income families through convenience sampling from semi-urban communities. Dietary data was collected using 3 – day recall, whereas a self-constructed, structured questionnaire was used to collect data on socio-demographic factors. Hemoglobin and serum Ferritin levels were assessed along with an assessment of clinical signs and symptoms of folate and iron deficiency. Data was enteredand analyzed using SPSS version 21.Results:  IDA was present in 68.8% of adolescent girls, of which 40.2% were moderately (8 – 10 gm/dl) and 28.8% were mildly (10.9 – 11.9 gm/dl) anemic. Working status (p < 0.041), source of dietary iron (p < 0.001), frequency of heme iron consumption (p < 0.001), protein consumption/day (p < 0.001) and HEI score (p < 0.001) showed statistically significant association with IDA. Binary regression analysis showed frequency of heme iron consumption [AOR = 29.13, 95% CI (9.627 to 88.203)] and HEI score [AOR = 6.877, 95% CI (.065 to 44.405]) to be the most significantly associated determinant of IDA. Mean Hb level was also significantly different between working and nonworking adolescents (p = 0.001, 95% CI = -1.124 to -0.322). Significant mean difference in serum Ferritin levels between working and nonworking adolescents (p = 0.04 [95% CI = -21.89 to -0.50]) was also observed. 94% and 91% girls showed signs and symptoms of iron and folate deficiency respectively. How-ever BMI, age, educational status of the girls and their parents were not found to be associated with IDA.Conclusion:  Prevalence of IDA was alarmingly high in adolescent girls of low socioeconomic class. Working status, source of dietary iron, frequency of heme iron consumption, protein consumption/day and HEI score were found to be determining anemia. Nutrition education targeting IDA is the need of the day to control and prevent this public health epidemic.
