Study of Prevalence Iron Deficiency Anemia among Young Adults Age between 15-45 Years in Urban Area

Abstract

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) remains a critical public health concern, particularly in urban areas where lifestyle and dietary factors contribute significantly to its prevalence. This study aims to assess the overall prevalence of iron deficiency anemia among individuals aged 15 to 45 in an urban setting, focusing on various age subgroups within this young adult population. By analyzing data from a representative sample of urban residents, the research identifies the distribution and frequency of IDA, examines demographic and socioeconomic factors influencing its prevalence, and highlights any significant variations across different age brackets within the 15-45 age range. The findings are expected to provide valuable insights into the burden of IDA in urban environments and inform targeted interventions and public health strategies to mitigate its impact. The study employs a combination of clinical assessments, laboratory tests, and demographic surveys to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of the condition. Preliminary results indicate a notable prevalence of IDA, with variations that underscore the need for tailored preventive measures and public health policies addressing the specific needs of different age groups within the urban population
