Answer:
Anaemia affects over 800 million women worldwide. In India, it is classified as a major public health problem as it is estimated that 52% of nonpregnant women of reproductive age are anaemic . Although the primary cause of anaemia is iron-deficiency, it is seldom present in isolation. More frequently it coexists with a number of other causes, such as malaria, parasitic infection, nutritional deficiencies, and haemoglobinopathies. The importance of iron-deficiency as cause of anaemia varies by region. While as low as 50% of anaemia in sub-Saharan Africa may be attributable to iron-deficiency (due to high prevalence of HIV, hookworm, malaria, and other infectious diseases) the proportion of anaemia caused by iron-deficiency increases to over 70% among premenopausal women in India.
