Reasons For High Prevalence of Anaemia in India
Anaemia Anemia is a one such disease which has been a common problem in India more due to the fact of malnutrition that has prevailed in this nation for a long time. According to Dr Sunil Raina, head of community medicine at Dr Rajendra Prasad Government Medical College in Himachal Pradesh, iron-deficiency and vitamin B12-deficiency anaemia are the two common types of anaemia in India.
Among women, iron deficiency prevalence is higher than men due to menstrual iron losses and the high iron demands of a growing foetus during pregnancies. (Ref1)
Lack of millets in the diet due to overdependence on rice and wheat, insufficient consumption of green and leafy vegetables, and dominance of packaged and processed foods which are low in nutrition could be the reasons behind the high prevalence of anaemia in India. (Ref2)
Nutritional anemia is a major public health problem in India and is primarily due to iron deficiency which is more common among rural population. (Ref3)
