A cross\u2010sectional survey study recruited adolescent girls (13 to 17 years) living in rural areas of Maharashtra state of India. Data were collected on physical parameters include height, weight, and midupper arm circumference (MUAC). Hb levels were measured using Sahli's haemometer. Linear regression was conducted to test the hypothesis. Data were collected from 1,010 girls on physical parameter and Hb levels. The majority of the adolescent girls were diagnosed with anaemia (87%). The regression analysis adjusted for age gave a significant association of Hb levels with all three variables (MUAC, weight, and height). Hb increased by 0.11 g\/dl with an each centimetre of increase in MUAC (95% confidence interval, CI, [0.08, 0.15], P<\/jats:italic> < .001). Each kilogram of increase in the body weight showed an increase in Hb levels (0.02 g dl, 95% CI [0.01, 0.03], P<\/jats:italic> = .001). With an each centimetre of increase in height, Hb increased by 0.01 g dl (95% CI [0.00, 0.02], P<\/jats:italic> = .022). There was a consistent association between three measures of somatic growth and anaemia in the study population. It is likely that life\u2010course exposures from conception onwards contribute to this, and the public health implications are that preventing anaemia is a challenge that requires a multifaceted interventional approach. Understanding the importance of the timing of these life exposures will help design interventions that can achieve optimal results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/mcn.12908","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,11]],"date-time":"2019-12-11T09:21:30Z","timestamp":1576056090000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Weight, height, and midupper arm circumference are associated with haemoglobin levels in adolescent girls living in rural India: A cross\u2010sectional study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8695-8938","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anand S.","family":"Ahankari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Epidemiology and Public Health University of Nottingham Nottingham UK"},{"name":"HMF Research Halo Medical Foundation India"},{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences University of Hull Hull UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laila J.","family":"Tata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Epidemiology and Public Health University of Nottingham Nottingham UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrew W.","family":"Fogarty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Epidemiology and Public Health University of Nottingham Nottingham UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpeds.2013.02.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","first-page":"159","article-title":"Prevalence of iron deficiency anaemia and risk factors in 1,010 adolescent girls from rural Maharashtra, India: A cross\u2010sectional survey","volume":"142","author":"Ahankari A.
