“…85.2% of post-menopausal women in the study were anaemic. 18 Results in our study show a similar pattern. The reason for a much higher percentage in his study might be the inclusion of the rural population only, while our study participants were mixed from rural and urban populations.…”

Objective: To determine the factors of iron deficiency anaemia among the post-menopausal women in our population. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Medicine, Pak Emirates Military Hospital, Rawalpindi Pakistan, from Aug 2019 to Jan 2020. Methodology: A total of 300 post-menopausal women were included in this study. Menopausal status was taken as one year after the last menstrual period. Iron deficiency anaemia was diagnosed, based on haemoglobin and ferritin levels. In addition,the relationship of age, age at menopause, comorbid medical illnesses and duration of menopause was assessed with the presence of iron deficiency anaemia among the post-menopausal women participating in this study. Results: Out of 300 post-menopausal women studied in the given period, 124(41.3%) had no anaemia, while 176(58.7%) had the iron deficiency anaemia. Furthermore, 225(75.0%) had menopause after the age of forty, while 75(25.0%) had menopause after the age of forty. After applying the binary logistic regression analysis, we found that advancing age, longer duration since menopause and presence of medical comorbidities had a statistically significant association with anaemia in the target population. Conclusion: This study showed a high frequency of iron deficiency anaemia among post-menopausal women. In addition, women with longer duration since menopause, advanced age and other medical illnesses were more at risk of having iron deficiency anaemia s compared to other women.

“…The higher prevalence of anemia in females may be explained by malnutrition, lack of empowerment and inadequate health awareness. Education, provision of iron rich food, prescription of vitamin and iron supplements and knowledge of the diabetes associated complications can help [50].…”

Aim: To establish the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia and its clinical predictors in Emirati patients with type 2 diabetes. Patients & Methods: 237 patients were included in the study. A full blood count was obtained in addition to routine blood and urine tests for all patients. Hemoglobin level and iron studies were done for diagnosis of anemia. Statistical analysis was done to find out the prevalence and independent predictors of anemia in the study population of Emirati type 2 diabetic patients. Results: Of the studied 237 patients; 36.3% had iron deficiency anemia as per the WHO criteria. Independent predictors of iron deficiency anemia were age ≥ 60 years, female gender and wide pulse pressure ≥ 60 mmHg. Hemoglobin level was directly proportionate to e GFR (p < 0.001). Participants with age ≥ 60 years had 4.2 times higher odds to exhibit anemia. Female participants had 1.95 times higher odds to exhibit anemia. Participants with wide pulse pressure ≥ 60 mmHg have 2.4 higher odds to exhibit anemia. Conclusion: Iron deficiency anemia is common in type 2 diabetic patients. Testing the patient for iron deficiency anemia should be considered in type 2 diabetes patients especially with age ≥ 60 years, female patients and those with wide pulse pressure ≥ 60 mmHg.

“…Low birth weight, preterm birth, small for gestational age, postpartum haemorrhage, eclampsia and pre-term birth are some of the adverse maternal and child health outcomes of anaemia (19). In a study done in North India, 85.2% of the postmenopausal women showed anaemia (20). Lower bone marrow density which leads to reduced grip, poor mobility, functional impairment leading to falls, cardiovascular, cognitive and neurological complications result from anaemia (21)(22)(23).…”

Introduction: Moringa (Moringa oleifera) is a plant found in many regions. Its extracts, especially of leaves are a rich source of fibre, proteins and micronutrients including iron, thus potentially used for haematological applications including iron deficiency anaemia affecting approximately one-third of the global population. Objectives:To systematically review the effect of M. oleifera on haematological parameters Methods: Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) guidelines were followed. PubMed, Cochrane library, Agricola, CINAHL and EMBASE databases were searched. Selection of articles were done in with three screening questions by two independent reviewers intervened by a third, resolving conflicts. Human studies on Moringa with relevant outcomes were included. Risk of bias assessment was done with Grading of Recommendations Assessment Development and Evaluation (GRADE) Criteria. Heterogeneity was assessed and results were narratively synthesized without meta-analysis. Registration from International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (ID: CRD42020181432) was obtained.Results: Following de-duplication, there were 215 articles. Eight studies on M. oleifera leaf extracts, covering nine outcomes were included (four studies on children below 2 years and two each on pregnant women and reproductive & postmenopausal women). Among children under 2 years, mean improvement in haemoglobin level ranged between 0.31-2.6 g/dl, with a reduction of the prevalence of anaemia by 53% (95% CI=35.1, 72.0; p<0.001). Haemoglobin level among anaemic women in reproductive ages showed an improvement with a mean difference (MD) of 0.794 (SD=0.81) (p<0.05) in the interventional group and of 0.644 (SD=0.83) in the control group. Postmenopausal women showed a significant improvement of 17.5% in haemoglobin compared to baseline (p≤0.01). Two studies showed improvements in ferritin levels with an MD of 29.378 ng/mL (SD=42.48; p=0.012) among anaemic women and 31.9 (SD=23.8) among children under 2 years. One study showed an improvement in the MD of erythrocyte count (0.482; SD=2.26), hematocrit (0.947; SD=4.56), MCV (0.635; SD=11.22), MCH (1.312; SD=4.94), MCHC (2.459; SD=2.86) and RDW (1.4; SD=2.07) compared to the control group. Among the pregnant women, improvements in both MCH and MCV were statistically significant in the intervention group (p<0.05). Conclusions & Recommendations:Moringa leaf extracts as a natural supplement is seemingly useful for improving haematological parameters, especially the haemoglobin level among children and female adults.
