Anemia is one of the leading morbidity cause in subjects attending OPD in both the urban and rural tertiary care hospitals across the whole of India, Deficiency of various micronutrients i.e. Iron, VitB, proteins, indirectly reflects the health, education, pharmaceutical economy and productivity of the entire nation. Anemia is like any other clinical signs it does not give a diagnosis intrinsically. Defined as low hemoglobin levels below threshold levels, set for specific age and gender groups by the World Health Organization [WHO] various classification have been floating in medical education on anemia by different quarters of medical sciences i.e., pathology, medicine, while the treatment depends mostly on cause. Global Data’s epidemiological analysis found the burden of anemia is shared significantly by developed countriesalso. A large variety of ailments i.e., nutritional disorders, menstrual disorders, is also an important preoperative investigation etc. Prevailingfrom infancy ...

Background: Anemia is defined as a decrease in the total amount of Red Blood Cells (RBC) or Hemoglobin in the blood or lowered ability of the blood to carry Oxygen .There are many classifications of anemia but clinically useful approach is alterations in Red Cell morphology including the size and amount of hemoglobin in each cell. According to the WHO, there are two billion people with anemia in the world and half of the anemia is due to iron deficiency. Young children and women of childbearing age are the most affected one. The aim of the study was to assess the hematological parameters along with peripheral blood examination to evaluate the type, severity and prevalence of anemia in various age groups. cases were studied including outdoor as well as indoor. The samples for test were collected in EDTA tube. The slides for peripheral blood examination were prepared and stain with Giemsa .The sample were run in automated cell counter for hematological parameters and RBC indices. Results: In our study out of 1140 cases 52.63% were male and 47.36% were female and commonest group 46.14% affected were adults followed by the patients in the third decade 20.35%. Results showing high proportion of microcytic hypochromic anemia and their association with women following menarche period indicating iron deficiency as a main cause. Microcytic Hypochromic anemia was commonest morphologically classified anemia 49.10% of which, majority had moderate type 64.47% and majority are females and children followed by normocytic normochromic anemia accounting 40.01% and majority of which had mild type of anemia 62.52% and the predominant age group in this category was elderly. Macrocytic anemia 12.54%does not show any significant variation with severity and age group and only 51 had dimorphic anemia in which 64.7% had mild type. conclusion: In different age group the prevalence and the severity of various types of anemia is different, which is because of different etiology. The prevalence of anemia increases with age and is associated with chronic diseases, inflammation, nutritional deficiencies and other conditions such as infection, reduction in bone marrow response. As a result, a diagnosis of anemia warrants adequate clinical attention, to find out the cause, type, severity which provides basis treatment in anemic.

Background: Anemia is the most common micronutrient deficiency. Despite repeated efforts taken under the national program, high prevalence of anemia still observed across various life stages of females in India over the past two decades. Methods: This cross-sectional study aimed to discern the prevalence of anemia in the non-pregnant and non-lactating females of Ambala, Haryana, between the ages of 6 months to 49 years using the gold standard cyan-met-hemoglobin method. Results: A total of 1, 21, 202 study subjects, with a mean age of 28.9±19.3 years were tested for hemoglobin across 524 villages, out of which 97,305 (80.1%) females were found to be anemic with mean hemoglobin level of 10.8±1.4 gm% with 53.2% of all females being moderately anemic. Conclusions: This study reported that anemia is extremely prevalent in all walks of life of females. Multipronged strategy is to be followed to curb anemia from various age groups of females.
Clinical and cytogenetic analysis of human anemias from Jammu region of Jammu and Kashmir state
Asian Journal of Transfusion Science, 2010
Background: Anemias are the blood disorders characterized by reduction in the number of circulating red blood cells, the amount of hemoglobin, or the volume of packed red cells in blood. Chromosomal aberrations have often been reported from the bone marrow as well as cultured lymphocytes of the anemic patients. Aims: The aims of the study were to find out the commonest type of anemia occurring in the population of Jammu, India and to find out the chromosomal changes involved in the disorder. Material and Methods: Present study has been carried out on the bone marrow samples from 53 clinically diagnosed anemic patients. Cytogenetic study was carried out on slides prepared from these samples. Noncytogenetic factors like age, sex, religion, blood groups, family history of anemia, socioeconomic status, etc. have also been included in the study. Results: Megaloblastic anemia was found to be the commonest type of anemia. Centromere stretching, chromatid breaks, gaps, and elongation of chromosomes were recorded in patients with megaloblastic anemia and combined deficiency anemia. However, structural changes and numerical changes were totally absent. Conclusion: The commonest anemia among the people of Jammu region is megaloblastic anemia and its prevalence is increasing every year. Also, megaloblastic anemia is always associated with reversible cytogenetic changes.
STUDY OF ANAEMIA IN SURAT, WESTERN INDIA
National Journal of Medical Research, 2012
Background: The distribution of social and biological risk factors makes the epidemiology of anaemia a real challenge. A cross-sectional study was conducted at Surat, Western India during 2009 to investigate the prevalence and predictors of anaemia among adults (> 18 years old). Results: Out of 129, 47(36.4%) adults had anaemia; 13 (10.1%); 27 (20.9%) and 7(5.4%) had mild, moderate and severe anaemia, respectively. In analyses, male vs. female gender (P = 0.2), age (< 50 yrs Vs ≥ 50 years) ( P = 0.6), rural vs. urban residency (P = 0.8), educational level < secondary level vs. ≥ secondary level ( P = 0.7) were not associated with anemia. Conclusion: There was a high prevalence of anaemia in this setting, anaemia affected adults regardless to their age, sex and educational level. Therefore, anaemia is needed to be screened for routinely and supplements have to be employed in this setting.
