in a regional city of Australia. In recent 5-10 years, observed an increase in the vegetarian diets
among children and adolescents. Therefore, the health promotion division is concerned regarding
the delay in growth and deficiency of nutrition in children and adolescents. Therefore, this report
includes the potential deficiency of one nutrient of the targeted population of children and
adolescents, topical nutritional issues, evaluation of aetiology, prevention and treatment and the
communication of complex problems among the children and adolescents of Australia.

encounter these extraordinary bodily necessities for iron and zinc throughout adolescence (1).
