“…Zaytoun et al (2016) found that there was a significant association between anaemia and social status and educational level (20). In India, higher prevalence of anaemia was found in people with below senior secondary education than those with above senior secondary education (17).…”

“…Similarly, Guralnik et al (2004) found that anaemia prevalence rose rapidly after 50 years of age, and to a rate greater than 20% at age 85 years and older (16). In a study conducted in India, males above 30 years had significantly more chance of anaemia than males below 30 years (17). In Rural Uganda, a study stated that the prevalence of anaemia was higher for males than females and increased rapidly with age in males, to almost double between 50 and 65 years (18).…”

Background: Anaemia is a global public health problem particularly in low-and middle-income countries and may be associated with serious health consequences. Limited studies, if any, have examined the prevalence and risk factors of anaemia in Jordan at the national level. Aims: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of anaemia in Jordan for both sexes at the national level and to identify high-risk population subgroups. Methods: A national population-based household sample was selected from the 12 governorates of Jordan in 2017. A total of 1125 males and 2797 females aged between 18 and 90 years were included. The prevalence of anaemia, overall and among subgroups of the population was estimated using Hb level as per WHO definition. Results: Results showed prevalence of anaemia to be 4.9% in males, 19.3% in non-pregnant females, and 27.4% in pregnant females. The age standardized prevalence rates were 4.9% in males and 19.3% in females. The age standardized prevalence rates were 4.9% in males and 19.3% in females. Anaemia was predominantly mild (males: 81%, non-pregnant females: 57%, and pregnant females: 65.2%). Sex, age, region, marital status, and education were significantly associated with anaemia. Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) accounted for 68% of anaemic females and 38% of anaemic males. Conclusions: The prevalence of anaemia in Jordan is lower than previously reported by WHO and the majority of anaemia was mild. Iron deficiency anaemia was the the most common type of anaemia, particularly in females. Flour fortification with iron and folic acid could have accounted for the decline of anaemia in Jordan.

“…These findings reconfirm that the anemia is linked essentially to our dietary habits and lifestyle structure that is particular to this region. The two Hindus in the study were anemic which could be due to religious norms of However, Milan argued in his Indian study that the prevalence of anemia in ndus and Non Hindus was similar [14].…”

Background: There is a general lack of awareness that anemia could be present in a significant number of apparently healthy adult males which might then lead to a misdiagnosis and a prolonged suffering of the patient. This study questions the frequency of anemia in healthy adult males which if found high will be an eye opener and an alarm for the doctors. Aims: This study was to determine the extent of anemia and its related parameters in apparently healthy adult males of a general population. Study Design: A cross sectional, observational study. Place and Duration of Study:The research was done in a tertiary care hospital, Creek General Hospital, Karachi from May 2016 to August 2016. Methodology: we included 493 healthy adult males by convenient sampling. The exclusion criteria included males less than 18 years or with any organ insufficiency, terminal illness or blood dyscrasias or hemoglobinopathies. Complete Blood Count was done to mark anemia and to Original Research Articleassess its severity. The Mean Corpuscular Volume was categorized as normocytic, microcytic, and macrocytic. The data was analyzed on SPSS version 20. Results: Out of the 493 males, 238(51.4%) were anemic out of which114 (47.8%) were normocytic, 98(41.1%) were microcytic and 26(11%) were macrocytic (P=0.00). The severity of anemia among the 238 anemic males showed 164(69%) males to have mild anemia, 44(18.4%) to have moderate and 30(12.6%) to have severe anemia. (P=.000). The mean hemoglobin in males is 12.5 (STD±2.4).In younger age group (<30 years) of 210 males, 102 (42%) were anemic. In the middle age group (31-50 years), out of the 165 that presented 76 (46%) were anemic while 118 patients in the elderly age group (> 50 years), 60 (51%) had anemia (P=0.72). There were 45 diabetic males, out of which 27(60%) were anemic and among them 20 had mild (74%) anemia and 18 (67%) were normocytic (P=0.049). In accordance to ethnicity, in decreasing order, 60% of Sindhis, 54% of Pashtuns, 51% of the Urdu speaking sector, 51% of Bengalis,46% of Gilgitis, 35% of Punjabis and 22% of Balouchis were anemic (p=0.04). 49% of Muslims, 35.7% of Christians were anemic. 168 were smokers in which 72 (42.8%) were anemic (P=0.132) with 46% being normocytic and 33% being microcytic. Logistic regression did not show any correlation between hemoglobin and age in the study. Conclusion: Anemia is highly prevalent in the adult males-a fact which has remained unnoticed.
