A serious health issue affecting adolescent girls is anemia. This study sought to ascertain the prevalence of anemia, its contributing variables, and adolescent girls' understanding of the condition in a rural location. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines adolescence as the time between the ages of 10 years to 19 years old. Because adolescence is a key developmental stage, anaemia at this age can have long-term impacts on d- -evelopment, cognition, immunity, menstrual cycle irregularity, and subsequent poor pregnancy outcomes. Additionally, a higher prevalence of anemia has been connected to several illnesses, including rheumatoid arthritis, congestive heart failure, essential hypertension, hypothyroidism, and hypothyroidism. Most anemiarelated problems can be prevented if mild to severe anemia is treated in its early stages throughout adolescence.
