Epidemiological Study On Thalassemia And Iron Deficiency Anemia Carriers

Abstract

Thalassemia and iron deficiency anemia are two common genetic blood disorders that affect individuals globally. Thalassemia is characterized by abnormal hemoglobin production, leading to anemia, while iron deficiency anemia is caused by a lack of iron in the body, resulting in decreased red blood cell production. Both disorders can be inherited through carriers, who may not exhibit symptoms but can pass on the mutated genes to their offspring. This epidemiological study aims to investigate the prevalence of thalassemia and iron deficiency anemia carriers in the population, as well as the potential impact of these carriers on public health. Through a systematic review of existing literature and data analysis, this study will provide insights into the distribution and burden of these carriers, informing future prevention and management strategies.
