Background: Anemia is a common concern in geriatric age group (more than 60 years of age) and can have significantly more severe complications than anemia in younger adults. WHO criteria determine anemia when the hemoglobin level is < 13g/dl in male and < 12 g/dl in female. Aim: To study the proportion and morphological patterns of anemia in geriatric patients. Material and Methods: A hospital based retrospective study of patients of geriatric age group who have attended clinical OPD of Composite hospital BSF Tekanpur, Gwalior from July 2016 to July 2018 were studied. Detailed laboratory studies including RBC Indices & Peripheral smear were done. Results: Out of 259 cases, 184 were found to be anemic amounting to 71.1 percentages. Proportion of anemia in males was 63.4% and in females it was 70.1 %. All the patterns of anemia based on peripheral smear were evident. Normocytic anemia was the commonest pattern constituting 62.0%. Conclusion: Confirming the proportion and patterns of anemia is critical to direct the investigation for profiling the etiology since it is well known that the treatment of anemia goes a long way in improving the overall outcome and quality of life.
