Abstract
Anemia is a worldwide health problem, extremely affecting developing countries and causes many serious diseases. Most anemia is asymptomatic or mild, rarely requiring hospitalization. It is multifactorial disease and is not an independent phenomenon. Aging also promotes a rise in anemia in the elderly peoples. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), anemia is defined as hemoglobin (Hb) levels 12.0 g/dL in women and 13.0 g/dL in men. Among collected samples Female anemia was shown to be higher than male anemia. in gender wise assessment, even after taking out the two high-risk categories, pregnant women and very ill individuals. While Frequency of anemia was found high than expected in both gender n=31 (15.5%) male and n=66 (33 %) female in the general population of Swabi which is alarming. The anemia causes different health problems it can cause problems with the heart or lungs, like an atypically rapid heartbeat or even heart failure. So, awareness, education and attention in population specially in females are very essential to conquer this public matter.
