Abstract
Background
Anemia remains a major public health concern in Africa, with substantial health and developmental consequences. Adolescents, particularly girls, are at increased risk due to rapid growth, menstruation, and inadequate dietary intake. Identifying the severity and determinants of anemia among adolescent girls in Africa is crucial for developing appropriate interventions, yet evidence remains scarce.
