简要总结
Adolescence is a period of rapid growth creating increased demand for energy and nutrition. It has been postulated that nutritional deficiency during adolescence can have a negative impact on the future health of the individual. This is particularly important in girls as malnutrition will also affect their offspring. Negative effects of adolescent malnutrition can persist throughout the reproductive life. Adolescence can be an opportunity to correct nutritional deficiencies and thus possibly reduce the risks of development of adverse health outcomes in later adulthood. Despite its importance, research into adolescent nutrition has been relatively neglected. There are large knowledge gaps about the nutritional status of adolescents and how it influences growth, neuro-development, later disease risk and the health of the next generation.
We plan to generate data on micronutrient deficiencies among young (13-15y old) school going adolescent girls
