IntroductionAnemia is a global public health problem in both developing and developed countries; ~1.62 billion people suffer from anemia, and pregnant women are the most susceptible to it. The main aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence of anemia and associated risk factors among pregnant women receiving antenatal care at Aymiba Health Center, northwest Ethiopia.Methods and materialsAn institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted at Aymiba Health Center from January to March 2015. Hemoglobin level and intestinal parasitic infections in pregnant women were assessed. Sociodemographic data were collected using a structured questionnaire. The data were entered and analyzed using the SPSS version 20. Odds ratio, p<0.05, and binary logistic regression were used to assess the association of pregnant women’s sociodemographic characteristics with their hemoglobin levels and the prevalence of anemia.ResultsThe mean with ±2 standard deviation of hemoglobin value was 12±1.3 (95% confidence interval [CI] =11.9–12.5), and the prevalence of anemia from a total of 206 study subjects was 52 (25.2%). Of this anemic group, 50 (24%) were in the second and third trimesters. Anemia was significantly associated with rural residence and intestinal parasitic infections (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] =9.17, 95% CI =2.15–40, p<0.001) and (AOR =55.091, 95% CI =6.88–441.19, p<0.001), respectively.ConclusionIn the present study, the prevalence of anemia was lower than in previous studies conducted in various countries, including Ethiopia. More studies are needed regarding the importance of regular maternal care and health education promotion programs, which have the potential to play a more significant role in health care.

“…Prevalence of anemia in pregnancy varies from country to another and from region to another. Previous studies reported that the prevalence of anemia among pregnant women was 20.1% (hemoglobin < 11.0 g/dL in the first and third trimesters or < 10.5 g/dL in the second trimester of pregnancy) in Thailand [19], 13% (Anemia was defined using the 5th percentile cutoff for each week of gestational age as proposed by Yip from the Centers of Disease Control, 1989) in Puente Alto, Chile [20], 30.2% (hemoglobin < 10.5 g/dL) in Korea [21], 19.7% in South Africa [22], 34.4% (hemoglobin < 11 g/dL) in Venezuela [23], 35.3% (hemoglobin < 11 g/dL) in Lagos, Nigeria [24], 70.1% in Peru [25], 41.9% in Jima town Ethiopia [26], 55% (hemoglobin < 11 gm/dL) in Sharkia Governorate, Egypt [27], 25.8% in North of Iran [28], 31.9% (hemoglobin < 11 g/dL) in Asir region, Saudi Arabia [29], 16.7% (hemoglobin < 11 g/dL) in Southern Iran [30], and 42% in Northern Jordan [31]. …”

The objectives of this cross-sectional study were to estimate the prevalence and determine factors associated with anemia among pregnant women in rural Jordan. A cohort of 700 pregnant women from a National Health Service hospital and ten health centers completed a questionnaire. Of the total, 243 (34.7%) had anemia. The prevalence was the highest for women in their 3rd trimester (42.5%) compared to those in 2nd trimester (32.7%) and 1st trimester (18.9%). Gestational age, body mass index, history of previous surgery, and multivitamin intake during pregnancy were significantly associated with anemia. Women in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters had higher odds of anemia (OR = 2.2 and 3.3, resp.). Underweight women had higher odds of anemia (OR = 2.9). History of previous surgery and multivitamin intake during pregnancy were associated with higher odds of anemia (OR = 1.6 and 1.9, resp.).

“…Most of these factors are closely related to both poverty and anemia, as has been reported in other studies. 14,[31][32][33][34] The increased prevalence of anemia associated with parity could be due to a progressive depletion of nutritional stores during pregnancy, that has been documented in women of other developing countries. [34][35][36] Additional variables not evaluated in this analysis should be taken into account, such as dietary factors including intake of foods with lower iron biodisponibility and cigarette smoking.…”

Objective. The purpose of this study is to quantify the prevalence and distribution of anemia among women of childbearing age (12 to 49 years) participating in the 1999 National Nutrition Survey (NNS-1999). Material and Methods. The survey had a probabilistic design and was representative at the national level, of urban and rural areas and four regions: North, South, Center, and Mexico City. Hemoglobin concentration was determined in capillary blood samples using a portable photometer (HemoCue), in 17 194 women, 697 of whom were pregnant. Results. The overall prevalence of anemia was 27.8% in pregnant women and 20.8% in non-pregnant women. Higher prevalences were observed in rural as compared to urban areas, both in pregnant (28.0% vs 27.7%) and non-pregnant (22.6% vs 20.0%) women, but the differences were not statistically significant (p >0.05). Women in the South had the greatest prevalence (23.2%), followed by those in the North (20.9%), Center (20.6%), and Mexico City (16.4%). Non-pregnant indigenous women had a prevalence of 24.8%, while in non-indigenous women the prevalence was 20.4%. Conclusions. Anemia in women of childbearing age is a growing public health problem that justifies the implementation of interventions for its prevention and control. The English version of this paper is available too at: http://www.insp.mx/salud/index.html Shamah-Levy T et alA nemia is the most frequent nutritiona-related disease worldwide, affecting half of children and pregnant women and between 20 and 25% of non-pregnant women in developing countries. 1 Both nutritional and non-nutritional factors may cause anemia. The most common nutritional cause is iron deficiency. Other nutritional causes are deficiencies of vitamin B 12 , folic acid, and vitamin A. [2][3][4] Among the non-nutritional causes of anemia are intestinal parasitic infections such as uncinariasis and trichinosis. [5][6][7][8] Other causes include hemodilution during pregnancy, concurrent acute and chronic infections, and menstrual bleeding. 9,10 Iron deficiency also has deleterious effects on the immune response, exercise endurance, cognitive ability, and psychosocial development. 11,12 The extent to which anemia affects the health of mothers and of their newborns is not completely established, but some studies suggest that anemia during pregnancy has adverse effects on both the mother and the fetus. 13,14 Moreover, severe anemia greatly increases the risk of maternal death. 10,14 Insufficient maternal iron stores are reflected in low iron stores in the newborn, leading to increased risk of iron deficiency in the first months of life. Iron deficiency may also have long-term consequences on the health of both mother and child. For example, iron deficiency anemia is associated with birth weight and pre-term birth.The most recent information on the extent and distribution of anemia in Mexico was reported in the 1988 National Nutrition Survey. 15 The present study was designed to quantify the prevalence and describe the distribution of anemia in women...
