2. HIDDEN HUNGER The term was coined by WHO in 1986 & refers to the problems associated with the deficiency of 3 essential micronutrients: Iron Vitamin A Iodine
3. NUTRITIONAL ANEMIA DEFINITION It is a disease syndrome caused by Malnutrition. • Acc to WHO – • A condition in which haemoglobin content of blood is lower than normal, as a result of deficiency of one or more essential nutrient, specially iron.
4. Nutritional Anemia • Deficiency of A. Iron B. Folate C. Vitamin B12 D. Protein • corrected by supplementation
5. ANAEMIA • ANAEMIA – Insufficient Hb to carry out O2 requirement by tissues. • WHO definition : Hb conc. < 11 gm % • CDC definition : Hb conc. < 11gm % in 1st and 3rd trimesters and < 10.5 gm% in 2nd trimester • For developing countries : cut off level suggested is 10 gm % – WHO technical report Series no. 405, Geneva 1968 6. WHO cut off criteria OF hb% (in venous blood) Adult man 13 gm/dl Adult woman (non pregnant) 12 gm/dl Adult woman (pregnant) 11 gm/dl Child above 6 yrs 12 gm/dl Child below 6 yrs 11 gm/dl 7. Prevalence –Widespread public health problem with major consequences for human health and socio-economic development –WHO estimates 2 billion people are affected worldwide –>50% due to iron deficiency
8. INTRODUCTION Iron deficiency (ID) is one of the most frequent nutrition deficiency all round the world.( In India – 50%) Its prevalence is higher in children and childbearing age women. Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) mainly affects child behavior and development, work performance and immunity.

13. Sources of Iron There are 2 types of iron in the diet; haem iron and non-haem iron Haem iron is present in Hb containing animal food like meat, liver & spleen Non-haem iron is obtained from cereals, vegetables & beans Milk is a poor source of iron, hence breast-fed babies need iron supplements
14. HIGH RISK FACTORS
15. Causes of IDA • Increased demand for iron – Rapid growth in infancy or adolescence – Pregnancy – Erythropoietin therapy • Increased iron loss – Chronic blood loss – Menses – Acute blood loss – Blood donation – Phlebotomy as treatment for polycythemia vera •Decreased iron intake or absorption -Inadequate diet -Malabsorption from disease (sprue, Crohn’s disease) -Malabsorption from surgery (post- gastrectomy) -Acute or chronic inflammation
