Abstract

Abstract Background. Anemia is a condition when the number of red blood cells decreases to meet the physiological needs of the body. It is estimated that about 30% of the world's population suffers from anemia, and more than half of them are iron deficiency anemia. This review of various literatures intends to determine the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in adolescent girls, which by knowing this we can determine more targeted prevention and treatment strategies. Methods. The method used in this literature review is a literature search using keywords that match the topic through several databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar. The literature used is literature with a maximum publication year of 2019 or the last 5 years. The results obtained the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in adolescent girls. Discussion. All journals discussed the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in adolescent girls with the majority using cross-sectional and NHANES methods. Key findings include that the prevalence of anemia varies based on factors such as age, nutrition, menstrual cycle, and level of knowledge. General strengths include valid and relevant data, while weaknesses include limited generalizability, lack of analysis of specific factors, and terms that are complicated for lay readers. Conclusion. The prevalence rate of iron deficiency anemia in adolescent girls is still relatively low.

Abstract

The increased use of digital devices has led to a surge in screen time, significantly impactingeye health. The effects include computer vision syndrome, digital eye strain, and a rise inmyopia, particularly among children.Objective: This article aims to evaluate the impact ofscreen time on eye health, identify the underlying mechanisms, and summarize effectiveprevention strategies.Methods: A literature review was conducted on scholarly articlespublished since 2020, using databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Thesearch focused on epidemiological studies, physiological mechanisms, and mitigation effortsrelated to screen time.Results: Studies indicate that increased screen time is associated with arise in eye complaints, such as dry eyes, visual fatigue, and accommodation disorders. Riskfactors include blue light exposure, improper viewing distances, and prolonged device usage.Prevention measures such as the 20-20-20 rule, blue light filters, and ergonomic workplaceadjustments have proven effective in reducing symptoms.Conclusion: Excessive screen timenegatively affects eye health, particularly among the younger population and office workers.Public education and the implementation of preventive strategies are needed to minimize thisimpact.

Abstract

Abstract Background. Eye health is a crucial element in an individual's quality of life, given the essential function of vision in everyday life. The main focus of this issue is on the relevance of nutrients, specifically Lutein, one of several types of Xanthophyll Carotenoids found in high concentrations in the macula of the human retina. Since the human body is unable to synthesize lutein on its own, the only way to obtain this substance is through food consumption.1 Methods. This study was conducted as a systematic literature review to collect and analyze relevant research on lutein and its nutrients in the context of eye health. The main focus was on studies that discussed the effects of lutein on age-related eye diseases. The literature examined came from various academic databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar, and leading scientific journals in the fields of nutrition and ophthalmology. Discussion. This study focuses insight into lutein, a carotenoid with high potential for improving human health, notably in the prevention of degenerative disorders. Conclusion. Lutein is essential for preserving eye health, particularly in the prevention of age-related macular degeneration. Adequate lutein consumption from foods such as green vegetables and egg yolks is advantageous, whereas lutein supplementation is safe but should be used with caution in people with reduced absorption. More research is needed in order to comprehend the processes and long-term effects of lutein in eye health. Keywords. Lutein, Eye Health, Nutrition
