Abstract
Nutritional Anemiasnutritional anemias due to insufficient intake of hematopoietic factors, their poor absorption or increased demands because of abnormal blood loss are frequent in tropical and subtropical areas. Although these anemias are known to be highly prevalent, little information is available on the magnitude or the nature of the problem. Most of the information is from patients in hospitals or clinics where anemia is a common diagnosis. Such data give little indication of prevalence in the general population. In Mauritius, one of the few population groups systematically sampled, anemia was present in over 50 per cent of the inhabitants. . . .Keywords
