The characteristics and classification of anemia, 57 (59%) had normocytic normochromic, and 33 (34%) had microcytic hypochromic anemia. According to the severity classification, 48 (50 %) had moderate anemia, only 8 (8%) had severe anemia. Four (4%) subjects had anemic conjunctiva, 45 (46%) had fatigue and 48 (50%) had no clinical manifestations of anemic conjunctiva and fatigue.Conclusions: Moderate anemia, normocytic normochromic anemia are the most prevalent among the subjects.
