Prevalence of Anemia and Its Causative Factors among Dental Undergraduate Students In A Dental College In South India
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 10
Abstract
A healthy diet defines life in terms of sustainability and longevity. Nutrition forms an integral part of a healthy life style.1without a nourishing diet, it is impossible to perform for an individual. It not only affects the physical status but simultaneously hinders the cognitive capacity of the person.2 Literature reports that nutritional imbalance amongst the growing children is directly proportional to the mental growth, performance and scholastic development. 3-5With lack of essential and timely nutrition especially to the brain, a stunted performance in terms of a quality care and professionalism can be expected in the field of health care. Fewer studies have reported the outcome of such an effect among the dental undergraduate students. Sareen et al reported that no correlation was present between the levels of hemoglobin and the performance among students in Udaipur, Rajasthan.6Another study among medical students in South India, showed that 43% had mild anemia, but this also failed to establish any co relation with their day to day performance and reasons for the same.7 We report the study carried out in a dental collegein South India, regarding anemia and its possible factors.
