INTRODUCTION. The most common cause of eating non-food items (pica) is specific deficiencies of minerals, such as iron. This study aimed to assess the relationship between Pica and Iron deficiency anemia among pregnant women. METHODS. The study was conducted in the out-patient department, antenatal Clinic at East Jeddah Hospital from July to September 2020. Design: A quantitative descriptive correlation design. Sample size: A total of 400 pregnant women, included anemic pregnant women, ≥ 18 years old, with singleton fetus and iron deficiency anemia. RESULTS. The mean age was 32.2 ± 6.6, half of the participants reported food cravings. Ice was the main item in pica followed by clay and chalk. Two-thirds had pica, more than half during the 1st trimester. There is a statistically significant relationship between pica and the history of a family member, parity, and gravidity at (P< 0,001, P <0,001, P <0,005) respectively. Hb and hematocrit in relation to pica reflected a statistically significant relationship (P< 0,001) and (P< 0,001), respectively. The symptoms attributed to iron deficiency were significantly associated with pica (P< 0,006). CONCLUSION. The pica and iron deficiency anemia had a significant association with pregnant women in EJH. RECOMMENDATION. The follow-up visits should integrate the food behavior inquiry to check if the pica existing with anemic or non-anemic pregnant women. Also, increase the awareness among midwives-nurses about the prevalence of pica and iron deficiency anemia among pregnant women.

Anemia is a reduced levels of Hemoglobin (Hb) in the blood. Anemia is one of the most common disorder that occurs during pregnancy, with the condition of Hb levels below 11 gr% Supplementation iron or granting tablet. Fe is an attempt important in prevent and handle Anemia, especially iron  deficiency Anemia. Compliance consume iron tablets in measuring instrument from accuracy of the total tablets which was consumed, the accuracy of consuming manner iron tablets, the frequency of consumption each day. Objective: To identify relations factors predisposing, compliance in consum iron tablet and levels hemoglobin of pregnant mothers in Puskesmas Mangli Kabupaten Jember. The study ofobservation analytic. Research instruments to collect database by giving questionnaire and examination levels hemoglobin. Subjekts are 32 pregnant women. Analysis using spearmen correlation rank showed the relationship between age to compliance mother in consume iron tablet (p = 0,015), there was a correlation between mothers education pregnant with compliance pregnant mothers in consume iron tablet (p = 0,001), there was a correlation between knowledge pregnant mothers with compliance pregnant mothers in consume iron tablet (p = 0,001), there was a correlation between a pregnant mothers with compliance pregnant mothers in consume iron tablet (p = 0,003), there was a correlation between compliance pregnant mothers in consume iron tableton the hemoglobin pregnant mothers (p = 0,000). The most dominant factor which affect the compliancy consumingiron tablet during the pregnancy was pregnant mother’s attitude with the score odds ratio (OR) 4,328. There was a connection between the predisposing with compliance pregnantmothersin consume iron tablet and there wasa link between compliance in consume iron tabletto the pregnant mother’s hemoglobin and the most predisposition dominant factor which affect the compliancy consumingiron tablet during the pregnancy was pregnant mother’s attitude.  Keywords: Factors Predisposing, Compliance, Iron tablet, Anemic, Hemoglobin levels.

INTRODUCTION- Iron deficiency anemia and thalassemia syndromes,especially beta thalassemia trait (BTT),are the two most commonly ccuring microcytic hypochromic anemias highly prevalent in countries like India. Iron deficiency anemia is the first most common cause of anemia in pregnancy,beta thalassemia trait is the second most frequent cause of anemia of pregnancy. Patients with thalassemia trait shows an increased incidence of anemia during the second trimester of pregnancy. Beta Thalassemia Trait (BTT) patients are usually asymptomatic and ignorant of their carrier state unless diagnosed by testing. Screening for thalassemia can be done by measuring HbA2 levels MATERIAL AND METHOD- This is a retrospective study. The data were collected from a clinic and associated st pathology in Shivpuri and a private maternity hospital in Gwalior from 1 January 2019 to 30 June 2021.94 patients were included in the study.All pregnant women between the age of 18-45 years and at any gestational age with hemoglobin level <10g/dL and microcytic hypochromic anemia (report of CBC) were included in the study. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and serum ferritin report were collected. RESULTS- In our study the most common age group in which the anemia was found between 19-35 years (80.85%).Most of the patients were primigravida (44.68%),between 26-37 wks of gestational age (82.97%),from a rural area (70.21%). Only 2 patients had a family history (2.12%) of beta-thalassemia and 6 patients had a history (6.38%) of blood transfusion. In our study moderate anemia was found in 55.31% of cases followed by mild anemia 25.53% and severe anemia 19.14%. In our study iron deficiency anemia was found in 87.23% only minor Beta-thalassemia was found to be 4.25%, of the patient,and the coexistence of iron deficiency anemia and beta-thalassemia in pregnant women is 8.51%. In our study total of 12 patients (4 cases of only minor beta-thalassemia and 8 cases of minor beta-thalassemia associated with IDA) The prevalence rate of beta-thalassemia in our study was 7.8%. CONCLUSION- the recommendation is to diagnose beta-thalassemia in pregnant patients is essential to give proper treatment.The screening of pregnant patients prevents unnecessary parental iron therapy and iron overload in case of anemia.further studies are needed in this field and less expensive and accurate methods should come in place.

Iron deficiency in pregnant women can lead to premature birth and LBW babies. This study aimed to determine the relationship between nutritional status and the incidence of Iron Deficiency Anemia in the 3rd trimester pregnant women in the co-endemic area of Bengkulu City. This study was a cross-sectional study with a total sample of 108 respondents who met the inclusion criteria. The sampling technique was carried out by purposive sampling. Data obtained through interviews and questionnaires. Data was analyzed by using chi-square test and multiple logistic regressions. The results showed that pregnant women who had <23.5 cm of MUACwere 30.6% and 22.2% and mothers experienced Iron Deficiency Anemia were 22.2%. There was a significant relationship (p<0.05) between nutritional status and the incidence of Iron Deficiency Anemia in pregnant women. Educational factor was the most influential factor that influence the incidence of Iron Deficiency Anemia (OR = 10.303, 95% CI 2.95-35.89). It can be concluded that pregnant women with poor nutritional status have the opportunity to experience Iron Deficiency Anemia.
