Abstract

Anemia is a significant public health issue that affects 30% of the world's population and is thought to affect 2 billion people worldwide (De Maeyer & Adiels Tegman, 1985). The bulk of those afflicted are from the poor countries. The risk of getting anaemia is greatest in children, adolescents, and women who are or who will become pregnant. Our research aims to identify the morphological and etiological forms of anemias that are common among WOMEN OF REPRODUCTIVE AGE GROUP. In order to measure the degree and severity of anaemia in women of reproductive age. Method: In the current study, 130 women of reproductive age who had anaemia were recruited from the IPD and OPD departments of Santosh Hospital in Ghaziabad. Result: A total of 130 women of reproductive age participated in the current study, including those who were unintentionally discovered to be anaemic. Most of the ladies in this study were not pregnant, 66.92% (87), while the remaining women were pregnant, 33.07 percent (43). Moderate anaemia was found to be prevalent in 60.46% of pregnant women and 87.35% of women who were not pregnant. It was shown that 78.46% of women of reproductive age had moderate anaemia overall. Conclusions: Pregnant women were found to have a high frequency of anaemia (87.35%).
