Background: Anemia is major public health problem. It is especially prevalent in women of reproductive age, particularly during pregnancy. It affects both developed and developing countries. According to the National Family Health Survey, anemia is prevalent in approximately 53.1% of non-pregnant and 50.1% of pregnant women. Objective of this study was to study the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women of Vindhya region and also various degree of anemia and factors associated.Methods: All pregnant women attending the outdoor and indoor of the obstetrics and gynecology department of, GMH. Rewa, taken for calculation of prevalence of anaemia and among them 510 pregnant women were selected who were satisfying inclusion and exclusion criteria for studying association factors. Study period was 1 year. Haemoglobin estimation done by sahlis haemoglobinometer.Results: Prevalence of anaemia figures 81%, Out of them, 38.05% mild, 33.26% moderate and 7.80% of women were severely anemic. Maximum number of women were housewives 71.1%. Anaemia was found more commonly among those who are either taking iron prophylaxis irregularly or not taking. High prevalence was noted among those pregnant women who had <4 antenatal visits i.e., 54.51%.Conclusions: Considering the high prevalence of anaemia in Vindhya region, extensive efforts should be made not only to correct anaemia, but to prevent anaemia. Various programmes for anaemia control should be executed more resourcefully to overcome it. Strong reinforcement of government scheme should be done at Anganwadi, CH, PHC to ensure prevention as well as early detection of anaemia.

Background: Anemia in pregnancy is a major health problem worldwide, especially in developing countries like India. Maternal and fetal outcomes are poor in pregnant patients with anemia. The most important cause of anemia is iron deficiency anemia which can be prevented by early oral iron supplementation.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynecology of our tertiary care teaching institution for a period of one year. 1290 pregnant women coming to the antenatal OPD were screened for anemia and 490 women. Patients who were not anemic were excluded. 800 patients were enrolled in the study. Each patient was interviewed using a structured interview schedule and the data obtained was analyzed.Results: The percentage of anemia in pregnant women was 62% in our study of which 40% were mildly anemic, 55% were moderately anemic and 5% were severely anemic. Maximum number of anemic women -mild, moderate and severe was seen in the age group 20-24 years. Mild and severe anemia was seen more in the secondary educated women. Maximum percentage of anemia was seen in the lower socio-economic status followed by middle and was lowest in the higher socio-economic status group. Prevalence of anemia was almost equal in primigravida and multigravidas (around 50%) but 80% of severely anemic patients were multigravida. Almost 68% took iron and folic acid tablets regularly.Conclusions: Treating anemia in pregnant women will go a long way in improving maternal and fetal outcome. Hence a future healthy younger generation can be produced. Iron tablets can be distributed at school to young girls to prevent anemia in future women.

Objective: Anemia is the most common nutritional disease in the world and is the major health problem affecting 25-50% of the world's population and nearly 50% of pregnant women. Anemia is one of the important deciding factors for outcome of pregnancy. Anemia during pregnancy is one of the major public health problems in the world especially in the developing countries and is directly responsible for 20% maternal death. The major objective of the present study is to determine the prevalence and severity of anemia among pregnant women visiting Dhiraj Hospital in Vadodara and to find out factors associated with anemia. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted at Dhiraj Hospital, a constituent hospital of S.B.K.S. Medical Institute and Research Center, Vadodara. Hematological data of all the pregnant women coming for ante-natal checkup (ANC) from 1 st June 2019 to 30 th June 2019 was collected from records maintained by Central Laboratory and was analyzed. Severity of anemia was classified according to W.H.O. grading criteria. Results: Total of 894 pregnant women were registered for ANC from 1 st June 2019 to 30 th June 2019; 228 cases (25.5%) were found to be in normal hemoglobin range. Prevalence of anemia was found to be 74.4% with 666 cases among which 430 cases (48.1%) were mild form, 211 (23.6%) cases were moderate form and 25 cases (2.8%) were of severe form with hemoglobin <7 gm/dl. Conclusion: Preconception care and care during pregnancy including iron and folic acid supplementation is to be instituted to reduce the burden of this public health problem. Early antenatal registration & care and measures taken at different stages of pregnancy are necessary for early diagnosis and treatment of anemia during pregnancy to ensure safe motherhood and reduce the prevalence of anemia during pregnancy.
