To examine the benefits of anemia prophylaxis in adolescent school.girls by weekly or daily iron-folate supplementation.
Prospective study.
Government girl schools of northeast Delhi.
2088 subjects (with hemoglobin greater than 7.9 g/dL), including 702 on daily and 695 on weekly iron-folate administration; 691 girls served as controls.
About 85% girls were iron deficient out of which 49.3% were anemic. Weekly administration took longer time to raise hemoglobin but was effective as well as practical. Plasma ferritin estimation in girls showed rise in level in both the treated groups.
Weekly administration of iron-folate was a practical and effective strategy for anemia prophylaxis in adolescent school girls.
通过每周或每日补充铁叶酸来研究预防青春期女学生贫血的益处。
前瞻性研究。
德里东北部的政府女子学校。
2088名受试者（血红蛋白大于7.9 g/dL），其中702名每日服用铁叶酸，695名每周服用铁叶酸；691名女孩作为对照。
约85%的女孩缺铁，其中49.3%贫血。每周给药提高血红蛋白所需时间较长，但既有效又实用。对女孩的血浆铁蛋白评估显示，两个治疗组的水平均有所升高。
每周补充铁叶酸是预防青春期女学生贫血的一种实用且有效的策略。
