ABSTRACT

Micronutrients have important influence on the health of pregnant women and growing
foetus. Iron deficiency results in anaemia which may increase the risk of maternal mortality,
increased foetal growth retardation, prenatal and perinantal mortality and low birth weight. A
study was conducted on 5442 pregnant women of Hisar district to assess the prevalence of
anaemia. Result indicated that out of total pregnant women (n= 5442) 50.7 per cent in Hisar-
1, 51 per cent in Hisar-II, 50.4 per cent in Barwala and 52.4 per cent in Hansi-1 block were
found to be anaemic. Thus, overall fifty one per cent of the pregnant women were anaemic in
four blocks of Hisar district. It was also found that that 77.8 per cent pregnant woman of BPL
families were anaemic.
