Background: Anemia is characterized by hemoglobin levels that fall below two standard deviations from the mean, taking into account the patient's age and gender. Hence; the present study was conducted for assessing iron deficiency anaemia among school going children. Materials & methods: A total of 500 school going children within the age range of 8 to 15 years were enrolled. Complete demographic and clinical details of all the patients was obtained. A Performa was made and detailed information in relation to medical history of all the patients was recorded. All the children were recalled in the morning and blood samples were obtained. The measurement of hemoglobin levels was conducted through a skin puncture blood draw, followed by analysis using a high-precision portable photometer manufactured by HemoCue AB in Angelholm, Sweden (Blood Hemoglobin Photometer). According to the World Health Organization's guidelines, anemia was classified as a hemoglobin concentration below 11 g/dL. Results: A total of 500 children were evaluated. Mean age of the children was 11.3 years. 59.2 percent of the children were boys while the remaining were girls. Incidence of iron deficiency anemia was found to be 42.4 percent. Significantly higher incidence of iron deficiency anemia was seen among females. Conclusion: Regular monitoring and management of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia are essential, particularly in children at high risk, to mitigate potential complications.
