The prevelance of iron deficiency anaemia is high in workers and different related factors affect this outcome. In the present study, we investigated the prevalance of iron deficiency anaemia in a total of 104 workers from Ankara Soil and Fertiliser Research Institute.
15.4% of the workers were found to be anaemic. No statistically significant relations were found between anaemia and gender and age groups. Anaemia was diagnosed in 30% of the laboratory staff, 15.8% of the office workers, 11.1% of the technical personnel. 20% of the subjects working 8 hours a day were found to be anaemic and the same rate was 13% for those working more than 9 hours a day. 20% of women with regular menstruation had anaemia while 33.3% women with irregular and heavy bleeding had anaemia. No statistically significant relations were found between anaemia and the occupation, the number of working days in a week, working hours in a day, the parity of women, the place where they are having lunch, the number of meals in a day and history of a chronic disease (p>0.05).
Workers is risk group for anaemia. Boss, workers and their families should be educated for adequate and balanced nutrition.Keywords: Anaemia, Occupational health, GenderTurkiye Klinikleri J Med Sci 2001, 21:391-395
