S. 2002 ABSTRACT PUSHRA BHARATHI MAJOR ADVISOR An investigation \vas undertaken with an objective of documenting nutritional and health profile during menarche and testing the seasonal variations in anthropometry, dietary intake anemia status and morbidity pattern among 80 adolescent girls between 13 to 15 years of age from two villages and areas each of Dharwad. The study was carried out in three seasons viz., summer (February - May), rainy (June- September) and winter (October - January). Information regarding age at menarche, problems faced during and prior to menstruation, foods given and avoided during menarche was collected through personal interview method. Seasonal variations in nutritional status of adolescent girls were assessed by anthropometry, dietary intake, clinical examination and haemoglobin status in different seasons. Seasonal changes were not reported in the onset of menstruation problems though maximum number of rural and urban subjects suffered from stomachache, body pain, waist pain and depression during and prior to menstruation. Irrespective of locality, the selected subjects recorded higher values for height, weight, waist and hip circumferences during winter (149.32cm, 36.26kg, 56.84cm and 72.76cm respectively) followed by rainy (148.21cm, 35.45kg, 56.71cm and 72.42cm respectively) and summer (148.02cm, 34.90kg, 56.46cm and 72.39 cm respectively). But all the girls were shorter and lighter compared to NCHS standard at 50'^ percentile. The adolescents had inadequate intake of energy and blood forming nutrients compared to ICMR recommendations in all the seasons irrespective of locality except folic acid (113.9ug) ascorbic acid (55.9mg) and copper (2.9 mg) during rainy season which exceeded the recommendations. Irrespective of age and locality, the subjects recorded higher mean haemoglobin during winter (9.5 gg/dl) and rainy (9.47 g/dl) seasons compared to summer (9.21 g/ dl), but seasonal variations were not reported in any of anemia symptoms. However morbidity among the subjects was reported to be more during rainy season. | en_US |
