“…However, while postmenopausal estrogen levels decrease, there is an increase in red cell mass to levels that are similar to those in males, which makes it unreasonable to use different criteria for anemia in each gender 21,22 . In our study 380(39.92%) were males and 572(60.08%) were females, which was higher than other studies like in the Kaur et al 23 and Nasrin A. Qureshi et al 24 , where there was no statistical difference in both gender, and in contrast to the Chul won choi et al study in which 11.4% were males and 2.1% were females 25 . In our study Microcytic hypochromic anemia 56.05% (male) and 50.35% (female) is the predominant type of anemia as seen in Gerardo et al studies 26 , Nasrin A. Qureshi et al and S Patel et al 27 study in which microcytic hypochromic anemia was seen in 72%.This finding was in contrast to the Kaur et al 23 in which normocytic normochromic anemia is the predominant type, 56%.…”

Objectives: The aims of this study are to evaluate the hematological parameters, type and severity of spectrum of anemia in known anemic cases in adult age group. Methods: This study was carried out in the Department of Pathology, in a tertiary health care center on 1330 cases. The cases were from both indoor and outdoor patients admitted in various wards. The samples for test were collected in EDTA tube. The samples were run in hematology cell counter Sysmex XS-800i for hematology indices and other parameters. Results: The overall prevalence of anemia was 71.58%. Moderate degree of Anemia was the most common followed by mild degree. Anemia was present in 39.92% of men and in 60.08% of women. Microcytic hypochromic anemia is the most common type of anemia in adult, more in reproductive age group indicating iron deficiency as the main cause. It was followed by normocytic normochromic anemia both in men and women. Conclusion: Anemia is a widespread public health problem associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality, especially in pregnant women and young children. The prevalence of anemia increases with age and is associated with race, chronic diseases, nutritional deficiencies and other conditions such as infection. A diagnosis of anemia warrants adequate clinical attention, to find out the cause, type, severity and this forms the basis for treatment of anemia. RBC indices provide important guidelines for diagnosis, classification and monitoring the treatment of anemia .

“…Moreover, it affects quality of life as well as the morbidity and mortality due to anaemia, it is considerably increased in recent times. [3,4,5,6] Fortunately, anaemia can be easily treated with drugs if identified earlier. Many at times that will be an incidental findings after a laboratory evaluation.…”

“…[4,5] Literature review reveals that prevalence of anaemia increases with age and that too females under 75 years were commonly affected compared to males. [6] In India, the prevalence rate is 17.7% to 89% in different states. [4] It is high (71%) in North India.…”

BACKGROUNDLiterature reviews suggest that elderly are susceptible to severe complication due to anaemia compared to the younger ones. WHO defines that male <13 g/dL and female <12 g/dL should be termed as anaemic. Nearly 23.9% of the global population was anaemic. The prevalence of anaemia increases with age and that too females under 75 years were commonly affected compared to males. However, data regarding patterns of anaemia in Pondicherry is very less. This prompted us to study the morphological patterns and prevalence of anaemia for adults and geriatric population in a tertiary care hospital at Pondicherry.

Background: Nutritional anemia is a major public health problem in India and is primarily due to iron deficiency which is more common among rural population. The present study aimed at evaluating iron deficiency anemia among rural population attending our tertiary care teaching hospital. Materials and Methods: Patients having hemoglobin level below 11g/dl with Serum Iron level <30 ug/dl and/or serum TIBC>400 ug/dl were enrolled in the study. A total of 259 patients were included in the study. Hemoglobin estimation and other investigations were performed as per standard protocol in pathology laboratory. Results: Majority of patients were females (58.69%) and preponderance of iron deficiency anemia was seen in the age group of 21-30 (28.96%) followed by 31-40 (25.09%). Majority of male patients had mild anemia (55.14%) whereas majority of females had moderate anemia (57.24%). Conclusion: Iron deficiency anemia is significantly high among women of reproductive age group. Among females moderate anemia was predominant. Mild anemia was commonly observed in males.
