Dr Ravindra Y M, Dr Avin Alva

Abstract :

 

India is one of the countries with very high prevalence of anaemia in the world. In India, almost 59% of pregnant women are anaemic and it accounts for 20–40% of total maternal deaths. Anaemia in pregnancy is one of the major risks and associated with abortions, premature births, postpartum haemorrhage and low birth weight. In view of the above, the present study was carried out to find out the prevalence of anaemia amongst pregnant women and sociodemographic factors associated with anaemia in pregnancy. Anemia is a medical condition in which the hemoglobin (Hb) concentration and red blood cells (RBCs) count are lower than the normal range. The normal range of Hb and RBCs in general vary between males and females. A sincere effort has been put in this study to understand the anemia in pregnancy.
