Title

Nutritional Status and Dietary Intake of Adolescent Girls in Bangladesh

Abstract

The world's adolescent population in about 1200 million persons at the age of 10–19 years and about 19% of the total population of the world faces a series of serious nutritional challenges in developing country. Bangladesh is one of the poorest countries, with over a 150 million population and densely populated countries of the world (881/sq km), and about 60 million people (40%) live below the poverty line and 34.6% currently lives in urban area. whereas 60.4% of the population lives in the urban area of Iran. There are about 27.7 million adolescents aged 10-19 years of age in Bangladesh and about 13.7 million girls, which make up about one-fifth of the total population, and, in Iran, with a population of 15 million people, 21.90% are adolescents aged 10–19 years. Sixty-seven percent and over of the adolescent girls are married. This includes 48% girls aged 15–19 years. About 50% of the pregnancies occur by the age of 18 years. Adolescence is a crucial part of their life. During this period, adolescents gain up to 50% of their adult weight, 20% or more than that of their adult height and 50% of their adult skeletal mass. Requirements of calories and protein are maximal, as also requirements of other nutrients, e.g. iron, calcium and vitamins, which increase. One US study showed that female adolescents generally did not tend to increase energy intake with increasing age. Nutrition is one of the most important factors influencing the quality of human life. Nutritional status is also an important health indicator to assess a country's health status and morbidity pattern. Studies of nutrition status are very important in the adolescent of child bearing age because of low to moderate prevalence of possible deficiency.
