Abstract :
BACKGROUND: IDA is a common disorder with
multiple underlying causes that may be influenced by a
person's age, the length of their symptoms, and other
biochemical indicators. The most prevalent condition
among premenopausal women is premenstrual syndrome
(PMS).Women with PMS had lower blood calcium and
vitamin D levels than healthy women, and calcium
supplements may help symptoms feel less severe.
Everywhere in the world, osteoporosis is regarded as a
serious public health issue. Preventive measures must
therefore be taken throughout the life course.
METHODOLOGY: In 161 individuals, our goal was to
look into the relationship between IDA and a number of
clinical characteristics. To identify possible correlations
with IDA, the patients' age, the length of their complaints,
their calcium levels, and their vitamin D levels were
evaluated. The study assessed vit D and calcium level with
IDA in 161 patients enrolled after ethical committee
approval. Information and data were collected using a
predesign proforma. The study did not include individuals
who were unwilling. The Chi-square test was regarded as
significant (P value 0.05).
RESULTS: According to our findings, the majority
(58.4%) of the reported concerns for an average of 58.4
months, and the mean age of the was 38.6 years.
Furthermore, authentic cases of IDA were found in 54% of
patients. There was no clear relationship between age and
the prevalence of IDA when looking at age groups.
Patients under 40 years old (56%) and those beyond 40
years old (52.3%) both showed notable IDA incidences. In
a similar vein, the length of complaints had little bearing
on the chance of IDA development because the percentage
of instances remained constant. We looked at calcium and
vitamin D levels as two significant biochemical markers in
relation to IDA. Notably, IDA was found to have a strong
correlation with low vitamin D levels, with low vitamin D
levels present in 79.8% of IDA patients. Calcium levels, on
the other hand, did not show a strong correlation with
IDA.
CONCLUSION: Our work shows that IDA and clinical
factors interact in a complicated way. Age and the length
of the complaint do not appear to be reliable indicators of
IDA, however low vitamin D levels seem to be closely
related to the condition. Our findings emphasize the
significance of taking numerous factors into account when
diagnosing and treating iron deficient anemia, with a focus
on the potential contribution of vitamin D to its etiology.
Additional prospective studies are required to confirm and
build upon these findings, possibly directing better
diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for IDA patients.
