Anaemia in adolescent girls contributes to prenatal morbidity and mortality in the future. The present study was undertaken with the aim of studying the clinical-haematological profile of anaemia in adolescent girls in the North Indian tertiary care hospital. Among 380 adolescent girls, hemoglobin concentration was less than 12 gm/dl among 172 (45.3%) girls which was classified as anemia. 91 (52.9%) girls were classified as having mild anemia (Hb- 11.0 to 11.9 gm/dl), 69 (40.1%) had moderate anemia (Hb- 8.0 to 10.9 gm/dl) and 12 (7.0%) girls had severe anemia (Hb- less than 8 gm/dl). Most common cause of anaemia was iron deficiency anaemia. Mean age of study participants was 14 years with Standard deviation of 2.73. In the present study, prevalence of anemia increases with increase in socio- economic class of study participants. Prevalence of anemia was more in underweight girls in comparison to those girls who had normal range of BMI.
