Background - Preschoolers and women of reproductive age are the most afflicted by anaemia, which is a frequently seen healthcare problem in both India and the rest of the globe. Objective-To better understand the severity, types, and causes of anaemia in the most productive age group in our region, we concentrated on the prevalence of anaemia in young people, excluding pregnant and nursing women. Material and methods- A research was conducted on people between the ages of 15 and 30. Anaemia was classified based on haemoglobin measurement and a general blood picture. Results and conclusion- According to WHO cut-off levels for diagnosis and severity of anaemia, 980 (39.2%) of the 2500 patients who had full blood counts/peripheral smear exams were anaemic. Compared to male patients (moderate category), female patients exhibited a greater prevalence (severe category of public health concern). The prevalence of anaemia in our area is very high, requiring intervention for prevention and control even after excluding out the more vulnerable group (pregnant/lactating women and small children) from our research.
