“…29 Out of 2,872 4-6 year-old children, 3.4% surveyed by Karagün et al were determined to be anemic. 30 In the retrospective study conducted in Balıkesir (Turkey), 563 children between the ages of 0 to 18 were investigated and the frequency of anemia among 5-7 year-old children was found at 13.6%. 31 In our study, 5-6 years old children have been taken into consideration and all of those with a value of 11.5 g/dL or lower were considered anemic.…”

Objective: According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), anemia is a prevalent health problem that leads to increased morbidity and mortality, especially in preschool children. Anemia is recognized as a major health problem due to its negative effects on the mental and physical development during childhood. The aim of our study was to determine the levels of anemia of children in a kindergarten affiliated to the Directorate of National Education using a non-invasive method, and to investigate the effects of anemia on the physical, mental and neuromotor development of children. Method: The levels of anemia was evaluated by using a non-invasive measurement device. Data collection was performed by means of a questionnaire to evaluate the children's physical development and set Denver Developmental Screening Test II scores. Results: Our findings show that 21% of non-anemic and 15% of anemic children are in the suspected abnormal group according to their DDST II total score. Furthermore, it has been identified that mild anemia has a positive effect on neuromotor development, while overweight and obesity affect neuromotor development in a negative way. Conclusion: According to the results obtained from the study, mild anemia may have a positive effect on the children's neuromotor development, while malnutrition could have a negative impact.

“…[30][31][32][33] According to conducted studies, the decrease of one unit in hemoglobin in a child increases the mild to moderate mental retardation risk 1.28 times. Even if these children get treated, their Bayley test scores (used for developmental follow-up) will still be low after ten years.…”

“…Anemia prevalence studies were performed in different provinces of Turkey. In prevalence studies performed in different parts of our country such as Istanbul, Sivas, Trabzon, Denizli (4)(5)(6)(7) , the frequency of anemia has been reported to range between 6-46 percent. In a study in Samsun, involving school-age children (7-14 years), the prevalence rates of anemia, and iron deficiency have been reported as 9%, and 26%,respectively (8) .…”

Objective: Anemia is a common public health issue, causing an increase in mortality and morbidity, especially in pregnant women and children. WHO reported the prevalence of anemia in preschool children as 47.4%, and incidence of anemia is gradually increasing. Iron deficiency is responsible for approximately 50% of cases with anemia. This study aims to determine the prevalence of anemia and the underlying causes of anemia in pediatric patients who were admitted to a reference hospital. Method: This cross-sectional study was planned retrospectively and children between 0.5-15 years of age who were admitted to our hospital for any indication between July 2017-July 2018 were included. Sampling Among these patients with anemia, those with hemoglobin values less than 11 g/dl were included in the study. Results: The incidence of anemia was detected as 8.2% (n=4655). The median age of anemic children was three years, and 54.4% of them were male. Anemia was more common among 2-5 year-old-children (50.8%). The prevalence of anemia was higher in boys between ages of 0.5-1 and 2-5 years, while it was higher in girls between ages of 10-12 and 13-15 years with a statistically significant difference. The median hemoglobin value was 10.2 (min-max: 2.8-10.9) g/dl, and MCV was 74.5 (min-max: 46.9-126.8) fl. Conclusion: The incidence of anemia in a reference centre in Black Sea region of Turkey in children between 0.5-15 years of age is 8%. The laboratory parameters were consistent with a probable diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia. The majority of patients (64%) had mild anemia. Collaboration between physicians and parents in the prevention and treatment of anemia is critical in protecting children from anemia, which is the cause of preventable mental retardation.

Aim: While the prevalence of anemia among hospitalized children varies in the literature, there is currently a lack of studies in our region that specifically examine the distribution of anemia based on erythrocyte morphology. Therefore, our aim was to compare the prevalence of anemia based on sex and age distribution among children undergoing hospitalization in our region and investigate the distribution of anemia according to erythrocyte morphology. Material and methods: Children aged between 6 months and 18 years who were only hospitalized and followed up in the Department of Pediatrics at the Health Sciences University Konya Beyhekim Training and Research Hospital between January 2021 and March 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Of the 1148 children hospitalized in the pediatric clinic, 876 (76.3%) had hemoglobin levels within the reference range for their age, while 272 (23.7%) were found to have anemia. A statistically significant difference was observed in the presence of anemia among age groups, with the 6 months-
