Identifying the root causes of iron deficiency anaemia is a prerequisite for effective management and prevention in adolescents. This systematic review assessed risk factors of iron deficiency anaemia among adolescents living in developing countries. Method. Electronic databases such as PubMed, Cochrane Library, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and SCOPUS were comprehensively searched for studies published between 1990 and 2020 that involved risk factors of iron deficiency anaemia among adolescents living in developing countries. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the American Dietetic Association Quality Criteria Checklist. Results. A total of 2,252 publications were reviewed, and only fifteen cross-sectional studies were eligible for inclusion, eight of which focused on female adolescents and seven on both genders. Direct risk factors contributing to anaemia among adolescents included food intake practices (n\u2009=\u200910 studies), female adolescents (n\u2009=\u20098 studies), menstruation (n\u2009=\u20095 studies), and parasitic infection (n\u2009=\u20096 studies). Indirect risk factors found to be associated with anaemia among adolescents included low educational status (n\u2009=\u20094 studies) and low socioeconomic status (n\u2009=\u20093 studies). All fifteen studies were of good quality. Conclusion. Food intake practices, female adolescents, menstruation, parasitic infection, and low educational status were the leading risk factors of iron deficiency anaemia among adolescents. Further research should concentrate on assessing the effectiveness and efficacy of existing interventions aimed at preventing iron deficiency among vulnerable groups in developing countries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2023\/6406286","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,4]],"date-time":"2023-01-04T03:05:17Z","timestamp":1672801517000},"page":"1-11","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":48,"title":["A Review of the Risk Factors for Iron Deficiency Anaemia among Adolescents in Developing Countries"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2023","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3756-3037","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Michael Akenteng","family":"Wiafe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutritional Sciences, School of Allied Health Sciences, University for Development Studies, Tamale, Ghana"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0869-5703","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Jessica","family":"Ayenu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics, School of Allied Health Sciences, College of Health and Allied Sciences, University of Cape Coast, Cape Coast, Ghana"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8954-5917","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Divine","family":"Eli-Cophie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sport Nutrition, University of Health and Allied Sciences, Ho, Ghana"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1079\/phn2005825"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12937-017-0272-3"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1479-5868-8-140"},{"issue":"1","key":"4","first-page":"8","article-title":"Diet quality and nutritional status of rural adolescent girl beneficiaries of ICDS in north India","volume":"16","author":"A.
