A study on the dietary habits and nutrient intake of 400 school going adolescent girls was conducted at Kanpur Nagar selected purposively of Kanpur district during 2017-2018. All the girls within the age group of 13-19 years studying in 8th to 12th standards were selected from 10 schools of Kanpur. The dietary habits and food frequencies of girls was assessed by using questionnaire method. Information about food consumption pattern was gathered through 24-hours diet recall method and their nutrient intake was calculated by using the values given in the nutritive value of Indian foods (Gopalan et al., 1989). The nutrient intake was compared with the RDA suggested by ICMR (2010). The results of the study revealed that about 31.5 per cent of adolescent girls skipped their breakfast, 22.0 per cent their lunch and 11 per cent their dinner. Water intake pattern indicated that about 28.7 per cent of girls had only 2-4 glasses in a day. More than half (58.7%) were found to have water with their meals followed by 18.7 per cent preferred tea or coffee or juice with their meals. While having food, 48.3 per cent girls were busy in watching television. About 74.5 per cent girls were nonvegetarian and 40.5 per cent were found to have fast foods two to three times in a week. The per cent adequacy of energy, protein, calcium, iron, vitamin A, folic acid and zinc varied from 24-79 whereas the per cent adequacy of fats, 145 was found to be higher in the girls than the RDA. The results of the study showed that there is immense need to improve the dietary habits of school going adolescent girls to make their life nutritionally sound.Keywords

The present study was conducted in Kanpur (U.P.) among 400 school going adolescent girls (13-19 years) for finding out their clinical problems, general health status and nutritional awareness. From the investigation conducted it was observed that 97.2 per cent school going adolescent girls were suffering from problems of hair; 43 per cent teeth , 36.5 per cent nails, 31.5 per cent skin, 30.7 per cent lips and tongue, 24 per cent eyes and 13.5 per cent from problems related to gums. Regarding their health status, about 78 per cent girls were suffering from general health problems like constipation, acidity, headache etc. Irregular menstrual cycle was reported by 35.5 per cent of girls and extra hair growth by 17.3 per cent of girls. Only 9.3 per cent girls were aware of their haemoglobin level and 29.5 per cent of their blood group. De worming course and vaccination was done by 12.3 per cent and 58.5 per cent adolescent girls, respectively. Knowledge that egg yolk is rich in cholesterol was reported by only 16.5 per cent of girls, similarly only 27.3 per cent knew that yellow fruits and vegetables are rich sources of vitamin A. Awareness of fats restriction for preventing heart problems and obesity was found only in 34.8 per cent of girls. Less than fifty per cent of girls were not aware of the fact that iron deficiency causes anaemia. It was observed that the health status of the girls was not good and the nutritional awareness level was also low. Therefore, it is the time to take immediate steps to overcome the problems of adolescents. Family, peer group, medical organizations, media and school together should plan and make needful efforts so that they live healthy life.Keywords
