Anemia Prevalence and Factors Among Adolescent Girls in Gujarat, India

2,815 adolescent girls were surveyed across ten districts in Gujarat, India, revealing an overall anemia prevalence of 60.85%. The data includes sociodemographic, nutritional, behavioral, hematological, and biochemical factors associated with anemia. The dataset was created by Krupal Joshi and last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Predict anemia risk based on sociodemographic factors like socioeconomic status and digital access.
• Analyze the association between biochemical markers (iron, ferritin, CRP) and anemia severity.
• Model regional disparities in health outcomes based on rural, urban, and tribal settings.
• Evaluate the impact of health knowledge and supplementation (IFA) on anemia prevalence.

Strengths

• Data from 2,815 participants provides a substantial sample size.
• Multi-centric design covers ten districts representing rural, urban, and tribal settings.
• Includes a wide range of measured factors: sociodemographic, nutritional, behavioral, hematological, and biochemical.

Limitations
