OBJECTIVE To estimate the prevalence and severity of anaemia among non-pregnant women in rural Bangladesh and describe its social distribution. DESIGN A cross-sectional study conducted in February-March 1996. Haemoglobin concentration was measured on a capillary blood sample by cyanmethaemoglobin method. The World Health Organization (WHO) classification was used to define anaemia. SETTING ...

Anaemia during pregnancy is associated with negative maternal and neonatal outcomes. However, there is limited data regarding prevalence and effects of anaemia during pregnancy in northern Tanzania. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and possible risk factors for anaemia and its effect on perinatal outcomes among pregnant women attending antenatal care in Moshi Municipa...

Anaemia affects a quarter of the global population, including 293 million (47%) children younger than 5 years and 468 million (30%) non-pregnant women. In addition to anaemia's adverse health consequences, the economic effect of anaemia on human capital results in the loss of billions of dollars annually. In this paper, we review the epidemiology, clinical assessment, pathophysiology, and conse...

BACKGROUND Stavudine is no longer recommended as part of first-line therapy for patients initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Uganda. Most patients are currently initiated on zidovudine-containing regimens, which can induce anaemia. We investigated the risk factors for early severe anaemia in the first six months of ART initiation. METHODS We defined baseline (ART initiation) anaemia as...

It has long been recognized that iron-deficiency anaemia and pernicious anaemia may occur in members of the same family (Faber and Gram, 1924 ; Maclachlan and Kline, 1926 ; Witts, 1930; Kaufmann and Thiessen, 1939). There are also numerous reports of pernicious anaemia developing in patients with a previous history of iron-deficiency anaemia (Callender and Denborough, 1957). More recently, in a...

BACKGROUND Anaemia is one of the significant public health problems among children in the world. Understanding risk factors of anaemia provides more insight to the nature and types of policies that can be put up to fight anaemia. We estimated the prevalence and risk factors of anaemia in a population-based, cross-sectional survey. METHODOLOGY Blood samples from 11,711 children aged between 6 ...
