简要总结
Anemia is a major public health concern in India, with NFHS-5 reporting prevalence rates up to 59% among adolescents. Although usually linked with underprivileged populations, medical students are also vulnerable due to irregular dietary habits, academic stress, and lifestyle factors. Limited evidence exists on anemia prevalence among medical students in North India, especially males.
Objectives:
To estimate the prevalence of anemia among medical students in a tertiary care hospital of North India and to identify dietary and lifestyle factors associated with it.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study will be conducted among 320 MBBS students at MAMC and LNJP Hospital, Delhi. Participants will complete a structured questionnaire on demographics, diet, lifestyle, and academic performance. Clinical examination for pallor will be carried out, and venous blood sampling will be done if required. Statistical analysis will include Chi-square, t-tests/ANOVA, and regression models to assess associations.
Expected Results:
The study anticipates a significant prevalence of anemia among medical students, with strong links to dietary patterns and lifestyle.
Conclusion:
Findings will provide evidence to design targeted interventions, improving health and academic outcomes in future healthcare providers.
