“…One of the limitations of that study was that few women with incomplete abortion were included, making the assessment of bleeding outcome in this specific group more difficult. In the present study of women with incomplete abortion in a general population in which anemia is prevalent [23], the likelihood of a clinically significant decrease in Hb (at least 2 g/dL) following either treatment was extremely low (less than 1%). Moreover, despite the ease of access to blood products in both of the tertiary facilities in the present study, no blood transfusions were required.…”

“…Our study finding indicated that participants with the age group of 25–35 years old were more likely to be anemic. Similar study in Egypt reported these age groups of NPW of childbearing age were relatively more affected than other age groups [ 26 ]. But reports in India indicated an age group of less than 25 years old were most affected [ 14 , 18 ].…”

Background. Anemia affects one-quarter of the world's population; nonpregnant women were one of the groups for whom it is common, making it a global public health problem. Objective. To determine prevalence and risk factors of anemia among nonpregnant women of childbearing age in Jimma town southwest Ethiopia. Methodology. We conducted a community based cross-sectional study involving 441 nonpregnant women. Data was collected over two months of period. We collected sociodemographic and related data using structured questionnaire. We collected four milliliters of venous blood and five grams of stool samples from each study participant for hematological and parasitological analysis. We performed statistical analysis using SPSS-V 16 software. Result. The prevalence of anemia was 16.1% (n = 71) with mean hemoglobin 12.96 g/dL (±1.04), among which 97.2% (n = 69) were mildly anemic. Age group of 25–36 years old, lower economic level, illiteracy, multiparity, having intestinal parasitic infection, using more than two sanitary pads per day during menstruation period, and low body mass index were found to be risk factors of anemia among the group. Conclusion. Prevalence of anemia indicates mild public health importance which shows it was indeed public health problem. Identified risk factors should be considered for prevention and control of anemia among the group.

“…There is inconsistent data regarding the risk of anaemia with IUD use. For example, a hospital-based study conducted in Egypt found that IUD users had significantly lower levels of haemoglobin compared to non-users or users of other contraceptive methods (31). In contrast, a longitudinal prospective study conducted among Iranian women found that there was no significant increase in anaemia cases among copper-IUD users (32).…”

Background: Anaemia is associated with poor health outcomes and is considered a serious public health problem particularly in low-and middle-income countries. Specific subgroups are at higher risk of anaemia, such as women of reproductive age. Aims: This study examined the prevalence and risk factors of anaemia among ever-married women in Jordan using a secondary analysis of the Jordan Population and Family Health Survey. Methods: This is a secondary analysis of data from a nationally representative sample of ever-married women aged 15-49 years that were tested for haemoglobin levels in the 2012 JPFHS. Anaemia was categorized according to the WHO criteria. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to investigate risk factors associated with anaemia. Results: The prevalence of any anaemia was 37.3%; specifically, 20% had mild anaemia (haemoglobin 11.0-11.9 g/dl), 16.3% had moderate anaemia (hemoglobin 8.0-10.9 g/dl) and 1% had severe anaemia (haemoglobin < 8.0 g/dl). Factors that were associated with anaemia in the multivariate regression included urban women (P = 0.01), living in the north (P = 0.014) or south regions (P = 0.013) of Jordan, having multiple children (P < 0.001), being pregnant (P < 0.01), and using IUD as a contraceptive method (P < 0.001). Conclusions: A high prevalence of anaemia among ever-married women of reproductive age in Jordan was noticed. The results emphasize the importance of urgent public health interventions to prevent anaemia in Jordan, particularly among high-risk subgroups.
