Prevalence Of Anemia

Abstract Objectives Anemia is a public health problem in women of reproductive age in many low- and medium-income countries including India. Maternal anemia can cause low birth weight, impaired fetal growth, and preterm birth. We assessed the baseline prevalence of anemia, iron deficiency (ID), iron deficiency anemia (IDA), and inflammation using c-reactive protein (CRP) among non-pregnant, non-lactating women of reproductive age living in the Ambala District, Haryana, India prior to the start of a wheat flour fortification program. Methods We conducted a multistage cluster probability household and biomarker survey and analyzed venous blood samples from non-pregnant, non-lactating women aged 18–49 years residing in rural areas of two subdistricts in the Ambala District. Factors of interest were: anemia, hemoglobin < 12.0 g/dL; ID, serum ferritin < 15μg/L;  IDA,  presence of both anemia and iron deficiency; inflammation, CRP > 5 mg/L. We used the BRINDA regression adjustment for ferritin to account for inflammation. Prevalence and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for anemia, ID, IDA, and CRP were estimated. Results Among 775 non-pregnant, non-lactating women of reproductive age, 54.3% (95% CI; 50.7, 58.0) had anemia, 86.9% (95% CI; 84.3, 89.2) were iron deficient, and 15.1% (95% CI; 12.5, 18.1) had inflammation. Among those with anemia, 58.2% (95 CI; 54.3, 62.0) had iron deficiency anemia. Conclusions Anemia, iron deficiency, and iron deficiency anemia among non-pregnant, non-lactating women of reproductive age in Haryana are significant public health concerns. The findings from the survey helped quantify the burden of inadequate iron intake and informed the Haryana government's prevention strategy aimed at reducing micronutrient deficiencies through a wheat flour fortification program.

Abstract Objectives 1. To determine if bovine lactoferrin (bLf) is at least as effective as oral ferrous sulfate in iron deficiency anemia in non-pregnant women of reproductive age (WRA) 2. To determine the optimal dose of oral bLf 3. To compare the side-effects of the treatments Methods Design: Non-inferiority, double-blind, individually RCT in non-pregnant WRA with iron deficiency anemia (Hb <12 g/dl & serum ferritin <30 μg/L) Setting: Mirpur, Dhaka, Bangladesh Participants: 555 non-pregnant, non-lactating women of 15–49 years. Interventions: Women were allocated individually (1:1:1) in three arms. Arm A, B and C received daily oral 200 mg bLf, 400 mg bLf and 60 mg ferrous sulfate. All received 400 μg of folic acid daily. Treatment was for 12 weeks. Outcomes: Serum Hb and serum ferritin at baseline and every 30 days for 3 months. Inflammatory markers: C-reactive protein (CRP); alpha(1)-Acid glycoprotein (AGP); hepcidin, at baseline and end line. Possible adverse effects were assessed. Results Women on 200 mg bLf had a decrease in Hb of 0.3 g/dl (95% CI, −0.60 to 0.00 g/dl, P = 0.05), women on 400 mg bLf arm had no change in Hb: 0.0 g/dl (95% CI, −0.32 to 0.32 g/dl, P = 1.00), and women on ferrous sulfate arm had an increase in Hb: 1.1 g/dl (95% CI, 0.83 to 1.37 g/dl, P < 0.0001). Women on 200 mg bLf had an increase in ferritin: 2.8 μg/l (95% CI, 0.38 to 5.22 μg/l, P = 0.02), women on 400 mg bLf had an increase in ferritin: 3.5 μg/l (95% CI, 0.64 to 6.36 μg/l, P = 0.02) and women on ferrous sulfate arm had an increase in ferritin: 41.1 μg/l (95% CI, 35.74 to 46.47 μg/l, P < 0.0001). There were no significant differences in AGP and CRP between arms at the base line (P = 0.38 and 0.95) and end line (P = 0.87 and 0.14). Those on ferrous sulfate had a significant increase in hepcidin concentration after 90 days (P = .000). Abdominal pain, indigestion, diarrhea and black stool were significantly higher on ferrous sulfate group. There were no differences for other side-effects across treatment arms Conclusions Ferrous sulfate has better efficacy than bLf for iron deficiency anemia in non-pregnant non-lactating women of reproductive age in urban Bangladesh. This lactoferrin product may be inactive, or there may have been inadequate dietary iron for bLF to promote its absorption. Funding Sources Saving Lives at Birth and Medical Research Council, UK.

Prevalence Of Anemia

Anemia constitutes a public health problem, in both developed and developing countries with major burden on economic and social develop ment. Present study was designed to examine the prevalence of anemia among girl students of Abhilashi College, Distt Mandi Himachal Pradesh. Hemoglobin (Hb) level of 87 girls students was determined. Prevalence of anemia was detected to have been quite high at 55%. Self-awareness of the condition among those anemic was dismally low at 10%. Health education constitutes an important approach to increase awareness about anemia in terms of exposures, risk factors, essential nutrition ingredients an d the importance of iron supplementations. Thus, the present study has tried to focus on those issues which are responsible for determining the level of anemia among wo men aged 20 to 40 years and has also tried to provide scientific exp lanations of iron deficiency anemia.

Red Blood Cell Membrane

The problem of iron deficiency is urgent in many countries, regardless of the socio-economic standards of living. Among biomedical problems, the study of biochemical blood parameters is of paramount importance. A great interest in various aspects of this issue is not accidental, since the transport function of the blood largely depends on it and, consequently, the efficient delivery of oxygen, glucose, amino acids, fats, vitamins, mineral salts, hormones, mediators, antibodies and metabolites to the micro-zones in the tissues. The purpose of this article is to study the hematological status and the state of the red blood cell membrane in women of reproductive age suffering from iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a combination of clinical and hematological symptoms characterized by impaired hemoglobin formation due to iron deficiency in serum and bone marrow, as well as the development of trophic disorders in the organs and tissues. During the study, a complete blood count was performed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, using the kits produced by JSC Vector-Best, and the Kamyshnikov method. Based on the results of the study of the erythrocyte sorption capacity (ESC) in women of reproductive age with IDA, it was established that this parameter is 1.2 times higher than that in the control group. The development of anemia is associated with significant changes in the osmotic stability of the erythrocytes, which results in an increase in the proportion of both unstable and high-resistance erythrocytes. The scientific novelty of the article is that the authors established the key parameters for iron deficiency anemia detection.

Objective of the Review: To set forth the frequency and prevalence of the anemia syndrome in non-pregnant and pregnant women and approaches to treating this disorder. Key Points: Anemia syndrome is the most common health problem in contemporary women. The leading cause of iron deficiency in women of reproductive age is abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). Anemia in women significantly reduces their ability to work and quality of life, and increases the rates and severity of complications in pregnant women and parturients. It is also a significant contributor to maternal mortality and fetal and neonatal morbidity. Treating anemia in pregnant women presents certain challenges. In the period between the first trimester and delivery, there is an 8-fold increase in the requirement for iron; therefore, hemoglobin levels return to normal slowly. The active ingredient of Ferrum Lek is a ferric hydroxide polymaltose complex, which is as effective as medications containing ferrous sulfate, but is significantly better tolerated by patients and easier to use. The active transport of iron allows its controlled absorption from the polymaltose complex, minimizing the risk of an increase in serum levels of iron not bound to transferrin. This ensures that this medication is very safe and eliminates the risk of overdose or poisoning. Conclusion: Anemia syndrome is the most common type of homeostatic imbalance in women of reproductive age. It most often results from frequent and abundant uterine bleeding (AUB). Therefore, an obstetrician-gynecologist plays the leading role in identifying menstrual disorders and choosing therapies to reduce blood loss. A gynecologist will also work with an internist (hematologist) in treating iron deficiency anemia. Keywords: anemia syndrome, iron deficiency anemia, abnormal uterine bleeding, ferric hydroxide polymaltose complex.
