Categorization of anemia severity in anemic study subjects according to hemoglobin normal values from the World Health Organization [15].
| Anemia Severity | Women (n = 179) |
Pregnant Women (n = 4) |
Men (n = 196) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mild | 110–119 g/L | 100–109 g/L | 110–129 g/L |
| 140 (78.4%) | 4 (100%) | 179 (92.2%) | |
| Moderate | 80–109 g/L | 70–99 g/L | 80–109 g/L |
| 39 (21.6%) | - | 15 (6.4%) | |
| Severe | <80 g/L | <70 g/L | <80 g/L |
| - | - | 2 (1.4%) |
Anemic subjects from the population-based study cohorts SHIP-START-2 and SHIP-TREND were categorized according to WHO normal values for hemoglobin levels in the respective patient groups ‘women’, ‘pregnant women’, and ‘men’. WHO: World Health Organization, SHIP: Study of Health in Pomerania.
