Anemia is a condition in which the individual lacks enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to the body’s tissues. It occurs when an individual has fewer red blood cells than normal or not enough hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin is the iron-rich protein in red blood cells. It carries oxygen from your lungs to all parts of your body. There are many forms of anemia, each with its own cause. Anemia can be temporary or long term, and it can range from mild to severe. Anemia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in women and children, poor birth outcomes, decreased work productivity in adults and impaired cognitive and behavioral development in children. Preschool children and women of reproductive age are particularly affected. Describing an abnormally low hemoglobin concentration requires understanding how hemoglobin naturally varies by age, sex, pregnancy status, genetic and environmental factors, and, potentially, race. Hemoglobin varies with age, most dramatically in the first months of life. In the newborn, normal hemoglobin concentrations are between 17 and 21 g/L, their highest point during life. Hemoglobin concentration then decreases through the first 2−3 months of life before increasing again in childhood and then levels off throughout adulthood before declining again in older age. Sex differences in Hemoglobin concentrations begin in puberty because of the effect of menstruation on iron stores and, subsequently, anemia and continue throughout the reproductive years.
