Since the inequalities evidenced during the first round of DHS remained unchanged in 2015, more investments in universal health care are needed in India.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s1368980020004292","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,26]],"date-time":"2020-10-26T08:18:12Z","timestamp":1603700292000},"page":"1577-1582","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Iron deficiency anaemia and low BMI among adolescent girls in India: the transition from 2005 to 2015"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4119-0803","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Saverio","family":"Bellizzi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Pichierri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Catello M","family":"Panu Napodano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paola","family":"Salaris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maura","family":"Fiamma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Claudio","family":"Fozza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luca","family":"Cegolon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"S1368980020004292_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2214-109X(19)30414-0"},{"key":"S1368980020004292_ref23","unstructured":"23.
