“…Kim and Lee [ 23 ] also observed that anemic participants showed lower anthropometric status as compared to their nonanemic counterparts. Considerable literature [ 28 29 30 31 32 33 ] also documented that participants with anemia showed statistically lower values in weight, height, and BMI than those with normal hemoglobin levels. Manual strength (both dominant and nondominant handgrip strength) was highest in the females with normal hemoglobin concentration as compared to females with mild, moderate, and severe categories of anemia.…”

Context:Anemia has a high prevalence among postmenopausal Indian females.Aim and Objective:The aim of this study was to evaluate dietary intake, prevalence, and the effect of anemia on various morphophysiological variables among postmenopausal women.Setting and Design:This was a community-based sample survey.Materials and Methods:A total of 250 postmenopausal women aged 45–80 years from various parts of North India participated in the study. Anthropometric measurements, hemoglobin concentration, and bone mineral density (BMD) (using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) of each participant were assessed. A 24-h dietary recall method for three consecutive days was employed.Statistical Analysis:The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 20 was used for statistical considerations.Results:An age-associated decline in the mean values of hemoglobin concentration and the prevalence of anemia was reported to be 85.2% among postmenopausal women. Anemic women were lighter and had lesser circumferential measurements as well as lower BMD than their nonanemic counterparts. The intake of nutrients such as protein, calcium, and iron and energy was lower among anemic women than nonanemic women. Binary logistic regression analysis identified age (odds ratio = 1.04, 95% confidence interval = 1.00–1.09)* as the possible predictor of anemia.Conclusions:Anemia was not only the result of aging process but also inadequate and unbalanced dietary intake.

“…Another study conducted by Kaur and Kochar, among 26 Indian women aged 40-70, determined the skinfold thickness above triceps at 21.25±3.04mm, whereas subscapular fold was measured at 29.17±6.17mm [9]. In our study the skinfold thickness in women of Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodship was, depending on age bracket, for the skinfold above triceps from 25.3±9.4mm in 50-54 age bracket to 19.2±7.7mm in 75-79 age bracket.…”

S u m m a r yNowadays obesity is one of the most important problems in the developed countries. It is characterized by the excess increase of fat tissue. The main causes of obesity are insufficient amount of physical activity and overdosing of energy delivered with food.The purpose of this paper is the assessment of skinfold thickness and the percentage of fat tissue content in women between 50 and 80 years of age.1215 female inhabitants of Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodeship participated in the study and were divided into 6 age groups in 5-year divisions. The skinfold thickness was assessed and the percentage of fat tissue content was calculated. The measurements were made with the skinfold caliper.All tested women in the respective age groups, according to BMI index, were overweight, whereas the percentage of fat tissue content was over 40% in all groups. In 65-69 age bracket there is an increase of all tested parameters, whereas in women above 70 years of age a visible decrease of measured skinfold thickness values is observed as well as reduction of proportional fat tissue content. S t r e s z c z e n i e Otyłość obecnie jest jednym z ważniejszych problemów w krajach wysokorozwiniętych. Charakteryzuje się nadmiernym zwiększeniem ilości tkanki tłuszczowej. Głównymi przyczynami występowania otyłości są: niedostateczna ilość aktywności fizycznej i nadmiar dostarczanej energii z poży-więniem.Celem pracy jest ocena grubości fałdów skórno-tłusz-czowych i procentowej zawartości tkanki tłuszczowej u kobiet między 50 a 80 rokiem życia.W badaniu uczestniczyło 1215 mieszkanek województwa kujawsko-pomorskiego, które podzielono na sześć grup wiekowych w przedziałach 5-letnich. Oceniono grubość fał-dów skórno-tłuszczowych i obliczono procentową zawartość tkanki tłuszczowej. Pomiary wykonano u nich za pomocą fałdomierza.Wszystkie badane kobiety w poszczególnych grupach wiekowych według wskaźnika BMI miały nadwagę, natomiast procentowa zawartość tkanki tłuszczowej wyniosła we wszystkich grupach ponad 40% wskazując na otyłość według norm WHO. W przedziale wiekowym 65-69 lat dochodzi do wzrostu wszystkich badanych parametrów, natomiast u kobiet powyżej 70 roku życia obserwuje się wyraźny spadek wartości mierzonych fałdów skórno-tłusz-czowych i zmniejszenie procentowej zawartości tkanki tłuszczowej.

Anemia is a common condition that significantly impacts women of reproductive age and is recognized as one of the most prevalent nutritional deficiency conditions globally. This review study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and severity of anemia and its association with contributing factors among women of reproductive age. The key causes of anemia identified are age between 25-35, low income, residing in remote areas, and limited access to healthcare. The study proposes that preventing low birth weight, perinatal, and maternal mortality is contingent upon effectively treating anemia in women of childbearing age. It is essential for women of reproductive age, particularly those in disadvantaged circumstances, to improve their financial and educational status, alter their eating habits, and enhance their overall health. Consuming meals rich in rice, tea, and plant-based foods should be minimized as they contribute to the increased incidence of anemia. The study emphasizes that national nutrition programs should focus on developing strategies to promote the consumption of fruits and vegetables, particularly in rural areas of Pakistan, to address anemia among women of reproductive age.
