Abstract

Anemia is a significant public health concern in India, with an esti-mated prevalence of 38% to 82% in non-pregnant females and 18% to 59% in males. Destitution, poor nutrition, illiteracy, unhealthy practices, obliviousness, and inadequate health service is the significant reasons for the higher rate of IDA in the tribals of India. The objective of the present study was to estimate the disease burden in Binpur-I and II, Jhargram blocks in West Bengal, India. The research was planned as a multiethnic community-based investigation that includes age and sex-specific gradation of anemia with iron status (SF, SI, TIBC). 910 participants (female: 529 and male: 381) were enrolled in the study. Overall, 67.47% of individuals were diagnosed with anemia (female: 42.74% and male: 24.73% ). According to severity, 29.12%, 27.14%, and 11.2% of individuals were moderate, mild, and severely anemic. Results also showed that IDA is prevalent among all age groups irrespective of sex, with the highest rates in the 40.1 - 60 age group (female). The higher prevalence of the geriatric population could be due to chronic disease, iron deficiency, and genetic polymorphisms, which require future investigations.

西孟加拉邦贾格拉姆多民族社区缺铁性贫血患病率的纵向研究

贫血是印度一个重要的公共卫生问题，未怀孕女性的估计患病率为38%至82%，男性为18%至59%。贫困、营养不良、文盲、不健康行为、疏忽大意和卫生服务不足是印度部落IDA发病率较高的重要原因。本研究的目的是估计印度西孟加拉邦贾格拉姆邦Binpur-I和II区块的疾病负担。该研究计划作为一项基于多民族的社区调查，包括贫血与铁状态（SF、SI、TIBC）的年龄和性别特异性分级。910名参与者（女性：529名，男性：381名）被纳入该研究。总的来说，67.47%的人被诊断为贫血（女性：42.74%，男性：24.73%）。根据严重程度，29.12%、27.14%和11.2%的个体为中度、轻度和重度贫血。结果还表明，IDA在所有年龄组中普遍存在，不分性别，其中40.1至60岁年龄组（女性）的发病率最高。老年人群的患病率较高可能是由于慢性病、缺铁和遗传多态性，这需要未来的研究。
