The Effects of Socio-Economic Factorson the Prevalenceof Anemia With Reference to Different Trimester of Pregnancy in Pregnant Womn of District Lahore, Pakistan

Anemia is problem in which level of haemoglobin decreases or numbers of Red Blood Cells reduce. There are many factors which are involved in causing Anemia in women like nutritional deficiency, gastrointestinal bleeding (diarrhea). Multiple pregnancies or pregnancies having less than two years time period between them also result in causing anemia or reducing iron stores in blood. There are other causes too like chronic diseases such as cancers, blood loss problems like haemorrhoids, postpartum haemorrhage etc. The current research was planned to find out the prevalence of anemia in Pregnant Women (PW) of District Lahore and to know how it is related to iron rich food and socioeconomic status of chosen patients. For this blood samples of 70 pregnant women of age group (25-40) years were collected from four different hospitals of District Lahore, during different trimesters of pregnancy. The collected blood samples were taken and stored in already filled with EDTA tubes. All samples were then analyzed by using CBC haematology auto-analyser. It is concluded from the current study that anemia was highly prevalent in District Lahore. It also indicated that the age of selected PW showed significant effect on severity of anemia because of nutritional deficiency with an increase in age. Income plays a central role in anemic women. Mostly anemic women were belonging to middle class which affected the nutritional status of PW and they didn?t take iron and other nutrients containing diets. Trimester of pregnancy had impact on anemia because due to growth of fetus body needs Iron folate, vitamins and other nutrients. Majority of anemic women were in their 2 trimester because they didn?t get proper diet. Numbers of pregnancies were also significant factors in PW. It can be due to the reason that with short birth spacing and increase no of pregnancies and abortions the Hb and serum ferritin level decreases and leads to anemia. This study helped to estimate the prevalence and causes of anemia in expectant females.
