Iron deficiency is known to be the most common nutritional disorder. About 30% of the world's population is iron deficient (ID). Women are more likely to be exposed to anemia than men, which is an epidemic public health problem.
A cross-sectional study was carried out to investigate the prevalence of anemia and associated risk factors among non-pregnant women in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Non-pregnant women (n = 250) aged 20-65 years were involved in this study. Sociodemographic, nutritional status, menstrual history, anthropometric and haematological properties were calculated. Anaemia proxies including haemoglobin (HB), serum ferritin (IDA), Haematocrit (Hct), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) were determined as well as BMI.
The respondents were varied according to demographic factors and according to anemia proxies, the majority of them suffered from anemia. The Student's -test analysis showed that the average daily food intake was lower than that of the dietary requirement intake (DRI). Correlation and logistic regression analysis between sociodemographic factors and anemia proxies revealed that most of such factors significantly and negatively affected anemia proxies. Moreover, the correlation of daily food intake and anemia proxies showed that the nutrients responsible for the improvement of anemia proxies were not taken in sufficient amount as indicated by a significant and positive correlation.
In conclusion, various factors including demographic factors, daily food intake appeared to be associated with anemia proxies, which are the most important risk factor for anemia among non-pregnant women in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
缺铁是已知最常见的营养失调症。全球约30%的人口缺铁。女性比男性更容易患贫血症，这是一个流行的公共卫生问题。
开展一项横断面研究，调查沙特阿拉伯利雅得非孕妇贫血患病率及相关风险因素。
本研究纳入了250名年龄在20至65岁之间的非孕妇。计算了社会人口统计学、营养状况、月经史、人体测量学和血液学特征。测定了包括血红蛋白（HB）、血清铁蛋白（IDA）、血细胞比容（Hct）、平均红细胞体积（MCV）、平均红细胞血红蛋白（MCH）和平均红细胞血红蛋白浓度（MCHC）在内的贫血指标以及体重指数（BMI）。
根据人口统计学因素和贫血指标，受访者各不相同，其中大多数人患有贫血。学生t检验分析表明，平均每日食物摄入量低于膳食需求摄入量（DRI）。社会人口统计学因素与贫血指标之间的相关性和逻辑回归分析显示，大多数此类因素对贫血指标有显著的负面影响。此外，每日食物摄入量与贫血指标的相关性表明，改善贫血指标的营养素摄入量不足，两者呈显著正相关。
总之，包括人口统计学因素、每日食物摄入量在内的各种因素似乎与贫血指标有关，贫血指标是沙特阿拉伯利雅得非孕妇贫血的最重要风险因素。
