Many Asian subjects were seen in London in the early 1970s with megaloblastic anaemia; in a majority of cases, this was dietary in origin. Pernicious anaemia occurs in Asians, but the incidence is probably lower than in Caucasians. Megaloblastic anaemia is now less common in this group, but a population survey in Punjabi females in the late 1970's showed anaemia in 32%, and one or more features of iron deficiency in 76%.
20世纪70年代初，伦敦有许多亚洲人患有巨幼细胞贫血；在大多数情况下，其病因是饮食方面的。恶性贫血在亚洲人中也会发生，但发病率可能低于白种人。现在，这一群体中巨幼细胞贫血已不那么常见，但20世纪70年代末对旁遮普女性进行的一项人口调查显示，贫血发生率为32%，缺铁的一项或多项特征发生率为76%。
