Abstract

Background & Objectives: ANEMIA is one of the most common disorders affecting all age groups. This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the prevalence of ANEMIA and microcytic ANEMIA in the population served by Asadabadi Health Center in Tabriz.Methods: We used a systematic sampling method to select 1623 subjects out of a total of 233000 persons aged above 12 years. Measurements of hemoglobin, MCV (Mean Cell Volume) and in the case of ANEMIA, serum iron, ferritin, TIBC (Total Iron Binding Capacity), together with hemoglobin electrophoresis and reticulocyte count were performed in reference laboratories. Data were analyzed using T tests and the Epi6 software package.Results: The prevalence rate of ANEMIA was 9.7%; more than 75% of the cases were due to iron deficiency, while 11.4% were caused by MINOR THALASSEMIA. Prevalence rates for iron deficiency ANEMIA and MINOR THALASSEMIA in studied population were 7.3% and 1.1% respectively.Conclusion: Findings show that the degree of ANEMIA - as defined in the WHO classification- is mild in this region. The most common cause of ANEMIA is iron deficiency.
