Anaemia is defined as a decreased concentration of blood haemoglobin. It is one of the most common nutritional deficiency diseases observed globally affecting both developing and developed countries.
To find out the prevalence of anaemia among the beneficiaries of Anaemia Mukt Bharat and its association with age and gender.
A cross-sectional study was conducted in Uttarakhand by AIIMS Rishikesh in a month-long campaign including 5,776 beneficiaries. Camps were organized at the hospital campus, schools, district hospitals, Community Health Centre (CHC), Primary Health Centre (PHC), subcentres (SC), Anganwadi Centres (AWCs), slum areas, adolescent health day celebration sites and Village Health and Nutrition Day (VHND) sites.
Data on age and gender along with haemoglobin level using HemoCue Haemoglobinometer was collected.
These data were entered into Microsoft Excel and analysed to calculate the prevalence of anaemia and its association with age and gender using Epi Info software version 7. Pearson's Chi-square test was applied. value <0.05 was considered as significant.
Out of 5,776 participants 53.2% were anaemic. Females (54.6%) were more anaemic than males (45.1%). 33.5% of pregnant females were found to be anaemic.
Prevalence of anaemia was very high among the study participants. It shows that anaemia is a major public health problem so efforts should be taken to reduce the prevalence of anaemia and promote the health of an individual, community as well as the country.
贫血定义为血液中血红蛋白浓度降低。它是全球观察到的最常见的营养缺乏疾病之一，影响着发展中国家和发达国家。
了解“无贫血印度”项目受益人群中的贫血患病率及其与年龄和性别的关联。
全印医学科学研究所瑞诗凯诗分校在北阿坎德邦开展了一项为期一个月的横断面研究，纳入5776名受益人。在医院院区、学校、 district hospitals、社区卫生中心（CHC）、初级卫生中心（PHC）、分中心（SC）、安格瓦迪中心（AWC）、贫民窟地区、青少年健康日庆祝活动地点和乡村健康与营养日（VHND）活动地点组织了筛查活动。
收集了年龄、性别数据以及使用血红蛋白计检测的血红蛋白水平数据。
这些数据录入Microsoft Excel，并使用Epi Info软件7版进行分析，以计算贫血患病率及其与年龄和性别的关联。应用了Pearson卡方检验。P值<0.05被认为具有统计学意义。
在5776名参与者中，53.2%患有贫血。女性（54.6%）比男性（45.1%）贫血更为严重。发现33.5%的怀孕女性患有贫血。
研究参与者中贫血患病率非常高。这表明贫血是一个主要的公共卫生问题，因此应努力降低贫血患病率，促进个人、社区以及国家的健康。
