Abstract

Background: PICA is a disease defined as compulsive eating of nonnutritive or unordinary substances. Regarding its known complications recognizing the underlying factor is of great importance. With respect to the controversies about the correlation between iron deficiency anemia and PICA during pregnancy, this study has been carried out on women referring for perinatal care to Loghman-e-Hakim hospital, since March 1998 till June 1999. Materials and methods: This analytical study was performed on 50 women, distributed in two groups of case (20 women with PICA) and controls (30 women without PICA). The control group was matched according to age, parity, weight, height, smoking, economical status, parents' education, underlying diseases, and receiving no iron components as supplement. Iron deficiency anemia was investigated with the following indices: HGB, HCT, MCY, MCH, MCHC, serum iron, TIBC, and Ferritin. Results: GEOPHAGIA (60%), AMYLOPHAGIA (20%), and PAGOPHAGIA (20%) were the most common habits in the case group. Regarding the effective factors on iron deficiency anemia no differences have been detected. Indices of iron deficiency anemia had shown no statistically significant differences between the two groups. Conclusion: Iron deficiency anemia has no correlation with PICA. So further studies to determine the etiologic factors are strongly recommended.
