Association of Fingerstick Hemoglobin Levels with Pica and RLS in Women

	Fingerstick Hemoglobin Levels (g/dL)
	< 11.5 (n=253)	11.5 – 11.9 (n=299)	12.0 – 12.4 (n=506)	< 12.5 (n=1058)	≥ 12.5 (n=141)
Pica present	15%^* (38)	9% (26)	7% (37)	10% (101)	7% (10)
p vs. Hb ≥ 12.5	0.021	0.568	0.929	0.345
RLS present	15% (37)	16% (48)	14% (69)	15% (154)	13% (19)
p vs. Hb ≥ 12.5	0.743	0.475	0.948	0.719

RLS=Restless Legs Syndrome, Hb=hemoglobin

Data shown as percent (number) of donors in each fingerstick hemoglobin column who reported pica or RLS.
