Association between dietary habits and hemoglobin levels of anemic young women: A cytometric and erythrokinetic analysis of anemia biomarkers

Arisha Sohail, Muhammad Bilal Azmi, Shamim Akhtar Qureshi.


Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship between specific dietary components and hemoglobin (Hb) levels, with combined red cell and reticulocyte analysis in young women with varying degrees of anemia.
Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted at a public sector university, in Karachi, Pakistan. Total 320 women aged between 18 to 25 years were enrolled. The dietary habits were evaluated by using a validated food frequency questionnaire. BMI was measured, and Hb, Mean Cell Volume, Mean Cell Hemoglobin. Red cell Diameter Width, Reticulocyte-Hemoglobin, and Immature Reticulocyte Fraction were measured by automated hematology analyzer. Peripheral blood films were examined for morphological classification of anemia. WHO classification of anemia was used to decide anemia severity.
Results: The cytometric and erythrokinetic anemia biomarkers were significantly different (p<0.05) between non-anemic and anemic groups in the one-way ANOVA estimation model. After adjusting for socio-demographic factors, the fish, eggs, poultry, and meat intake increased serum Hb level significantly in mild anemia and meat in moderate or severe anemia.
Conclusion: Mild anemia is common in young women due to dietary iron inadequacy and can be improved by nutrient specific intervention.

Key words: Anemia biomarkers, cytometric and erythrokinetic, dietary habit, young women.
