Abstract

History & Objective: Iron deficiency ANEMIA (IdA)is the most known form of nutritional deficiency, which is quite common in developing countries particularly among women. Although taking iron supplement may prevent IdA among pregnant women, it is by no means a sure way to stop or eradicate it. This study is done to estimate the prevalence of IdA among a group of FULL-TERM PREGNANT WOMEN who had had delivery at maternity hospitals in KERMANSHAH during 1999.Materials & Methods: The subjects of the study included 326 healthy FULL-TERM PREGNANT WOMEN whose blood samples were taken for hematologic tests including: CBC, Hb, HCT, RDW, MCV, MCH, MCHC and ferritin. Subjects with serum ferritin of less than 12ng/ml were considered as IdA sufferers. Results: This study indicated that the prevalence of ANEMIA and IdA among subjects were 17.2% (CI=13.2-21.2) and 25.8% (CI=21.1-30.5) respectively. Although 82.8% of the subjects had received iron supplement and 17.2% of them had had iron -- supplement compounds, there were no statistically significant differences with respect to age, job, education, parity, and the amount of iron supplement and ANEMIA among them.Discussion: This study revealed a high prevalence of IdA among pregnant women. Since ldA is apparently a serious problem among pregnant women, further studies are required to have a better understanding of it.
