Iron deficiency anaemia in paediatric age group: Review
Journal Title: Applied Physiology and Anatomy Digest - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Almost 7 in 10 children aged 6-59 months are anemic, including 40 percent who are moderately anemic and 3 percent who are severely anemic. The prevalence of anemia does not vary by the sex of the child. Anemia is considerably higher in rural areas, among children of women with no education, and among children in households in the lower wealth quintiles. Children’s anemia status is closely linked with the anemia status of the mother. Although state differentials in the prevalence of anemia are marked, a high prevalence of anemia is found in every state. This increase is largely due to a sharp increase in anemia among young children in rural areas; 90% of the cases being due to iron deficiency1.The view was supported by an increasing prevalence of PH in communities moving from the hunter gatherer area to the agricultural societies depending mainly on maize which was deficient in absorbable iron. Present review article explains basic aspects concerning iron deficiency anemia in detail.
