very widely researched and discussed in (among other places) the SMAC report and others including a systematic review from York CRD - mostly discussing haemoglobinopathy but there is stuff on other forms of anaemia there as far as I recall.... -----Original Message----- From: Colin Fischbacher To: [log in to unmask] Sent: 06/10/00 12:07 Subject: how common is anaemia? Dear all: I'm looking for information about the prevalence of anaemia in adults of Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Chinese ethnic origin, preferably from a population based survey. I haven't been able to find any recent published reports - can anyone help? Please reply directly to me and if people are interested I will post a summary of responses on the list.
