Sarah Sukkariyeh, Caren Latouf, Rim Harfouch
Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies in the world. The aim of our research was to identify the most common causes of iron deficiency anemia and the associated factors of lifestyle, dietary habits and menstrual cycle.
We selected a random sample of women attending the gynecology department at Tishreen University Hospital, and obtained the results of a complete blood count (HCT and HB) CBC for 100 participating women from April 2022 until the end of June 2022. As a result, 67% of women nearly two-thirds were anemic which is considered high for a sample randomly taken from the gynecological clinic in Tishreen university hospital.
