“…A survey by Tettamanti et al of elderly urban dwellers in Italy showed that increasing age was associated with an increase in the proportion of anemia ( Tettamanti et al, 2010 ). A systematic review of the proportion of anemia in the elderly consistently found a trend towards increased anemia with increasing age ( Rivilla Marugan et al, 2019 ). In a study of Mexican older adults, the highest proportion of anemia was found in those over 80 years of age ( Contreras-Manzano et al, 2015 ).…”

“…It is important to also note that the diagnostic criteria used to define anaemia in the elderly in the present study is based on the WHO criterion which was extrapolated from epidemiologic data collected from those under the age of 65 years. It has been argued that these criteria may not be appropriate for the elderly population [ 5 ]. Studies conducted on healthy elderly individuals showed a decline in hemoglobin and red cell counts with increasing age in males [ 6 ]; it is therefore possible that what we are considering as anaemia in the elderly may in actual sense be the norm in this population.…”

“…It further classifies the anaemia severity into mild, moderate, and severe based on the hemoglobin levels [2]. Whilst this definition is being applied for all populations, different studies argue that the data used excluded individuals above 65 years of age [4][5][6]. Nevertheless, in adults aged 60 years and above, anaemia has notable adverse consequences of impaired functionality, cognition, increased hospital admissions, and increased morbidity and mortality [7,8].…”

“…e WHO estimates that roughly 24% of older adults (over 60 years of age) globally have anaemia [3]. In developed countries, the prevalence of anaemia in the elderly aged 60 years and above ranges between 3% and 63% with a higher prevalence found in those who are hospitalized or in nursing homes [5,[9][10][11]. Prevalence of anaemia in the elderly population is higher in developing countries, ranging between 20.6% and 49.5% in community based studies [12][13][14][15][16] and those in nursing homes having a prevalence as high as 68.7 [17,18].…”

Introduction. Anaemia is a common problem in sub-Saharan Africa. While most literature has focused on children, women of childbearing age, and pregnant women, data for the elderly population are relatively scarce. Anaemia exhorts negative consequences to functional ability of elderly patients, both physically and cognitively. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of anaemia, severity, and micronutrient deficiency status in the elderly hospitalized patients in Tanzania. Methods. A total of 156 hospitalized adults aged 60 years and above were enrolled in this study. A structured questionnaire was used to capture sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Blood samples were collected, and a complete blood count, serum cobalamin, serum ferritin, and serum folate levels were measured to assess anaemia and micronutrient deficiency status in all participants who had anaemia. Results. The prevalence of anaemia was 79.5% (124/156) with severe anaemia in 33.9% (42/124) of participants, moderate anaemia in 42.7% (53/124) of participants, and 23.4% (29/124) of all participants had mild anaemia. Micronutrient deficiency was found in 14.5% (18/124) of all participants with anaemia. Combined deficiency (either iron and vitamin B12 deficiency or iron and folate deficiency) was the most common micronutrient deficiency anaemia with a frequency of 33.3% (6/18), followed by isolated iron and folate deficiencies at equal frequency of 27.8% (5/18) and vitamin B12 deficiency at 11.1% (2/18). Conclusion. The prevalence of anaemia in the hospitalized elderly population is high warranting public health attention and mostly present in moderate and severe forms. Micro-nutrient deficiency anaemia is common in this age group and is mostly due to combined micronutrient deficiency.

“…Anaemia is a common condition in the elderly patients (Beghé, Wilson & Ershler, 2004;Gaskell et al, 2008;McCormick and Stott, 2007;Rivilla Marugán et al, 2019) and its prevalence is strongly associated with an individuals socioeconomic status, psychological state and available support (Gupta et al, 2020;Lamba et al, 2019;Styszynski et al, 2018;Andreev et al, 2020;Hosseini et al, 2018). Anaemia in elderly patients is often multifactorial; however, the most common cause of this condition is iron deficiency due to malnutrition, decreased iron absorption, chronic gastrointestinal blood loss and chronic inflammatory conditions (Andrès et al, 2008;Cappellini, Musallam & Taher, 2020;Thomas, 2017;Girelli, Marchi & Camaschelli, 2018;Thomas, 2017).…”

The influence of anaemia on pressure ulcer healing in elderly patients

Anaemia is a common and multifactorial blood disorder in elderly individuals. This condition may be a significant barrier to pressure ulcers healing as it is associated with a decreased level of oxygen being supplied to body tissues. Some nutritional deficiencies such as iron, vitamin B12 and folate may also cause anaemia and have a negative impact on pressure ulcer healing. An increased iron demand in hard-to-heal pressure ulcers is a significant factor associated with the risk of anaemia of chronic disease in elderly patients. Anaemia screening and correction may need to be considered as well as iron supplementation if required in pressure ulcer prevention and management.
