Abstract

A cross sectional study was conducted during August 1992, on a representative sample of 6,539 pregnant women attending 69 primary health care centers in the Asir region, southwestern Saudi Arabia for the assessment of their hemoglobin level. The overall prevalence of anemia (Hb < 11 g/dl) was found to be 31.9%. It was found that the prevalence was affected by age (37.3% among those who were less than 20 years old), parity (34.9% among those who had 7 and more deliveries), inter-pregnancy spacing (35.2% among those whose birth spacing was less than 1 year), gestational age, and education (35.1% among illiterates). Health education programs at primary health care level in the region should be revised to stress the importance of balanced diet, compliance with iron medication and sufficient spacing between subsequent pregnancies.

摘要

1992年8月，在沙特阿拉伯西南部阿西尔地区的69个初级卫生保健中心，对6539名孕妇的代表性样本进行了一项横断面研究，以评估她们的血红蛋白水平。贫血（血红蛋白<11g/dl）的总体患病率为31.9%。研究发现，患病率受年龄（20岁以下者中为37.3%）、产次（分娩7次及以上者中为34.9%）、两次妊娠间隔时间（生育间隔小于1年者中为35.2%）、孕周和教育程度（文盲中为35.1%）的影响。该地区初级卫生保健层面的健康教育项目应进行修订，以强调均衡饮食、遵医嘱服用铁剂药物以及后续妊娠之间保持足够间隔的重要性。
