• Anaemia is a condition in which the number ofRed Blood Cells (RBCs) and consequently theiroxygen carrying capacity is insufficient to meetthe body’s physiological needs.
• For hemoglobin to be red and thick, it needs iron,folic acid, vitamin C, protein and vitamin B12 .
• Deficiency of these nutrients in diet makeshaemoglobin thin, pale and less concentrated.
Anaemia
Normal blood
Pale blood

Population Prevalence Dimension of Problem
Less than 5% Not a problem
5% to less than 15% Low magnitude
15% to less than 40 % Moderate Magnitude
40% or more High Magnitude
When do we consider anemia a public health problem?*

Consequences of Anemia
• Impaired Child Development• Reduced Immunity• Decreased level of concentration, IQ and lack of
interest in work /study• Poor school performance• Poor work capacity, low energy & fatigue• Poor productivity• Maternal anaemia is associated with poor
intrauterine growth and increased risk ofpreterm births resulting in increase low birthweight rates and affects their own survivalduring delivery

a) Nutritional: deficiency of these nutrients due to
and
Anemia causes
Low Dietary intake of iron
Low bio-availability
Tea with meal
Phytic acid and fibre in bran of cereals Phosphvitin in egg
Calcium phosphate supplement with meal

b) Blood loss or destruction of blood cells due to:
Anemia causes…..continued
Malaria
Parasitic (Hook/roundworm) infestation
Blood loss duringmenstruation
Delivery
In addition: During adolescence & pregnancy iron needs are very high

50% of Anaemia is due to Iron deficiency

• Food-Based Approach– Improve quantity and quality of diet
– Fortification of food
• Prevention of malaria
• Family Planning
• IFA Supplementation
• De-worming
Approaches to Control Iron Deficiency Anaemia

Counseling for Dietary Diversification
• Green leafy vegetables and fruits• Liver, egg, fish , meat• Grains-wheat, jowar, bajra, sprouted pulses,
ground nut, sesame , jaggery ,dried fruits• Vitamin C rich foods help in absorption of iron.
Citrus fruits (oranges, lemon), Indian gooseberry (Amla), apple, pear are rich in vitamin C.

Need to Improve food intake, iron fortified food and iron rich food - Dietary Diversification
• Long term approach.
• Involves nutrition education and changes in
dietary habits of the population.
• Improve absorption of iron by lowering inhibitor
and increasing promoter concentrations.
