| description | Purpose: To conduct a symptoms-based evaluation of iron deficiency
anemia (IDA) in university and colleges students of Bahawalpur-
Pakistan and correlate the data with their eating habits. Methods: A
cross-sectional survey was accomplished using a questionnaire for the
assessment of IDA among 500 students enrolled in the Islamia University
of Bahawalpur and two affiliated colleges in Bahawalpur, Pakistan.
Symptoms-based evaluation was carried out to obtain the results.
Results: The results showed that 41.2 % (206 students) of the 500
students were anemic. The proportion of anemic females and males was
65.53 % (135) and 34.46 % (71), respectively. Of the 206 students,
96.11 % (198) were below the age of 25 years, 83.96 % (173) in official
hostels, 52.42 % (108) belonged to families of average socioeconomic
status, 77.18 % (159) suffer from short-term memory, and 47.08 % (97)
were unaware of IDA. The most commonly observed symptoms were flattened
brittle nails, dizziness, and fatigue after physical activity, 88.83 %
(183); presence or absence of glosittis 87.37% (180); ringing in the
ears, 84.46 % (174); headache, 62.62 % (129); frequent minor
infections, 46.60 % (96); shortness of breath, 40.29 % (83); taste
disturbance, 35.92 % (74); ice cravings, 22.33 % (46); and angular
stomatitis 18.97 % (39). Conclusion: An unexpectedly large number of
female students exhibit symptoms of IDA due to poor nourishment.
Findings from this survey can be used in awareness programs to increase
academic performance in young adults and to eliminate IDA. |
