Yirrkala is an Aboriginal community in north-east Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory. Residents aged five years and over participated in a survey to establish the prevalence and causes of anaemia. Eleven per cent were anaemic (haemoglobin level less than 110 g/L). Most of these were iron deficient, and this deficiency was attributed, at least in part, to hookworm infestation; 15% were folate deficient; none was vitamin B12 deficient. There was no haemoglobinopathy, thalassaemia trait or glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency detected.
伊尔卡拉是北领地阿纳姆地东北部的一个原住民社区。5岁及以上的居民参与了一项调查，以确定贫血的患病率和病因。11%的人贫血（血红蛋白水平低于110克/升）。其中大多数人缺铁，这种缺铁至少部分归因于钩虫感染；15%的人缺乏叶酸；没有人缺乏维生素B12。未检测到血红蛋白病、地中海贫血特质或葡萄糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶（G6PD）缺乏症。
