Abstract

Deficiencies of micronutrients, especially iron,
folate, and vitamin B12, among women of reproductive age are known
causes of serious maternal and child health problems.
The
purpose of this study was to find out the
prevalence of anemia, and vitamin B12 and folate deficiencies
and risk factors among reproductive-aged married women in an agricultural
population
. A cross-sectional study was
conducted on the random sample of 749 reproductive age women in nine provinces
of the southeastern Anatolia region of Turkey in 2013. Chi-square test and
logistic regression were applied for the data analysis. The results indicated
that 36%, 24.3%, and 1.6% of the women had anemia, vitamin B12 and
folate deficiencies, respectively. Seasonal agricultural workers, illiterate
women, and those living in rural areas had a higher prevalence of anemia, and
micronutrient deficiencies after analysis of the confounders. These data
indicated the necessity of a public health program for the prevention and early
diagnosis of micronutrients including
enhanced biological surveillance systems, developed B12 monitoring program, and community empowerment programs to
decrease micronutrients deficiencies in
agricultural reproductive age women.





Keywords: Anemia, B12 and folate
deficiencies, Agricultural reproductive aged women
