Abstract:

High prevalence of Anaemia and Obesity has increased the risk for a lot of major health related problems. Iron deficiency anaemia being one of them. An association between the Obesity and Iron deficiency Anaemia has been studied, but whether it’s the visceral or subcutaneous fat that is responsible for the correlation is not yet conclusively known. Hence it becomes necessary to take measures in time when the problems of iron deficiency anaemia and obesity are quite easily amenable. For our study 30 young female subjects (age 17-20) will be selected after their written and informed consent. These females aged 17-20 years, with BMI> = 25 Kg/m2 will be selected. Height will be measured (in m) with the help of a stadiometer and Weight will be measured (in kg) by using a simple weighing machine. For the measurement of body fat distribution, the Waist circumference will be measured using an inelastic measuring tape and Skin fold thickness will be measured using skinfold calipers. After these anthropometric measurements, blood samples in fasting conditions will be collected for biochemical and haematological test: Haemoglobin, S. ferritin, S. Iron. The result may be ambiguous.
