Healthy Results

Today I received the Hemoglobin results from the 100 students at Trinity Academy, the private school that we surveyed. The average hemoglobin level was 12.7 (g/dl) which is quite good considering the high prevalence of anemia in India. The Hemoglobin levels of adolescents should fall somewhere between 11 and 14 (g/dl). Below 11 is considered anemic. I still have yet to analyze the Hb levels in correlation with the survey questions. On Monday I begin the survey of the public school children. Results will be different.
