Background: Anaemia is typically defined as reduction in the haemoglobin concentration below certain value. It is a commonly encountered haematological problem in the elderly causing significant morbidity and mortality. Ageing populations will impact on healthcare provision, and hence, it is important to identify and understand the significance of common medical problems in older people of which anaemia is one such problem. Aims and Objectives: 1. To study the clinicopathological profile of anemia in geriatric patients. 2. To determine the various causes of anemia in geriatric patients. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on patients who were above 60 years of age and was conducted at Department of Medicine, Government Medical College, Amritsar. It was a cross sectional study of 100 patients. It males having haemoglobin levels of less than 13 gm/dl and Females having haemoglobin levels of less than 12 gm/dl. The patients having haematological disorders and liver disorders were excluded from the study. Results: An association between age and grading of anemia was observed (p>0.001). 100% patients with <=70 years mild anemia followed by 81.6% had moderate anemia and 58.6% severe anemia. On the other hand, 18.4% and 41.4% patients with age >70 years had moderate and severe anemia. About 31.8% females were having mild anemia followed by 49% with moderate anemia and 41.4% with severe anemia. On the other hand, 68.2%, 51% and 58.6% patients had mild, moderate and severe anemia. No association between gender and grading of anemia was observed (p>0.393). Conclusion : Anaemia in older persons poses a clinical challenge in daily practice as the population ages. It was concluded that majority of geriatric patients with anemia in the present study were <70 years. Common symptoms among them were fatigue, weakness and breathlessness and had high association with anemia.
