Abstract: Anemia is a prevalent condition caused by deficiencies in essential nutrients such as iron, vitamin B12 and folic acid, impacting the blood’s ability to carry oxygen and affecting quality of life. The main deficiency anemias include iron deficiency anemia and megaloblastic anemia, which have different causes and symptoms. Intervention through supplementation and health education is crucial for prevention and effective treatment, especially in vulnerable populations.
