| dc.description.abstract | Globally, iron deficiency anemia affects 4 to 5 billion people. In India it is a major public health problem among preschoolers, adolescent girls, pregnant and lactating women. The overall prevalence o f anemia among 1 2 - 1 4 years adolescent girls is 69 percent and for older adolescent girls (15-17 years) it is around 70 percent. Malnutrition and other micronutrient deficiency can be alleviated by dietary modification and other supplementation. Supplementation o f foods rich in nutrients is cost effective and a sustainable solution. It plays a major role in improying the diet and meeting the micronutrient needs o f the population. Spirulina- blue green algae are a food supplement combining proteins, vitamins, iron and many other micronutrients that the human body needs. Spirulina is a low fat, low calorie, cholesterol free source o f easily digestible vegetable protein containing all the essential amino acids. The study was carried out to assess the nutritional status o f adolescent girls and study the impact o f supplementation. | en_US |
