Anemia with iron, folate, and/or vitamin B12 deficiency is common among elderly. Limited studies have been carried out in India. The study was undertaken to assess the status of hemoglobin, serum folate and vitamin B12 of economically deprived elderly women (aged 60 to 70 years) residing in Delhi, India. A total of 60 elderly women were enrolled in the study. Blood samples were analysed for hemoglobin, serum folic acid, vitamin B12. Anemia was observed among 66.67% of the participants. The prevalence of mild, moderate and severe anemia was 28.3%, 35% and 3.3% respectively. Around 12% and 38% of participants had low serum folate (<10 nmol/L) and vitamin B12 levels (<150 pmol/L) respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
