Abstract
We aimed to estimate the nationwide prevalence of anaemia among adolescents in Egypt and to study possible risk factors. A cross-sectional approach was used. Blood samples were collected from 1980 adolescents for haemoglobin estimation. The overall prevalence of anaemia was 46.6%, most of which was mild or moderate, with severe cases in less than 1.0% of the sample. Gender difference was almost nonexistent. A significant inverse relationship was observed between the level of anaemia and age [‎especially among boys]‎, socioeconomic level and educational level. Anaemia was more prevalent in rural areas and in Upper [‎southern]‎ Egypt. Anaemia is a major public health problem among Egyptian adolescents and wide-scale public health education is warranted
