Prevalence of Types of Anemia and Concurrent Anemia and Inflammation in the PEARLS (Prospective Evaluation of Antiretrovirals in Resource Limited Settings) Subcohort

Anemia Type	No. (%)
All-cause anemiaa	138 (51.0)
Concurrent anemia and inflammationb	37 (14.7)
TfR-F indexc
<1 (ACD)	69 (36.7)
1–2	41 (15.9)
>2 (ACD + IDA)	17 (6.6)

Data are presented as No. and prevalence (%) of anemic people with concurrent micronutrient deficiency or inflammation.

Abbreviations: ACD, anemia of chronic disease; IDA, iron deficiency anemia; TfR-F, soluble transferrin receptor-log₁₀ ferritin.

^a Anemia was defined based on hemoglobin cutoffs for males (<13.0 g/dL) and nonpregnant females (<12.0 g/dL).

^b Concurrent anemia and inflammation was defined as having anemia as well as C-reactive protein values >10 mg/L.

^c Soluble TfR-F index was calculated using the ratio of soluble transferrin receptor to log₁₀ ferritin.
