ABSTRACT

Background:

Women of reproductive age are at elevated risk of iron deficiency (ID) and anemia; in the United States, those of Hispanic/Latino background are at especially high risk. Causes of ID and anemia and variations in risk within Hispanic/Latino women of reproductive age are not well described.

Objectives:

To characterize ID and anemia and their risk factors/markers in Hispanic/Latina women.

Methods:

Data from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) were used. HCHS/SOL enrolled participants in 2008-2011 at 4 sites Bronx, Chicago, Miami, and San Diego; 5386 were non-pregnant women ages 18-49 y. Primary outcomes were ID (ferritin <30 µg/L) and anemia (hemoglobin <12 g/dL). Predictors were background/heritage, Short Acculturation Scale for Hispanics scores, years lived in the United States, and interview language, diet summarized in the Alternate Healthy Eating Index 2010, sociodemographic covariates, and study site. Main analyses used survey log binomial regressions adjusted for age, site, and smoking.

Results:

Almost half (42%) of participants were of Mexican background, 15% of Cuban background, and <15% each were of Puerto Rican, Dominican, Central American, or South American background. ID prevalence was 34.4% overall but differed by site-background pairings. The lowest and highest prevalence were 26% and 42% among women of Cuban background in Miami and women of Mexican background in Chicago, respectively. Anemia prevalence was 16% and ranged from 8.9% (Central American background/Miami) to 22% (Dominican background/Bronx). Acculturation, sociodemographic, and diet variables examined did not explain observed prevalence differences by site/background.

Conclusions:

Prevalence of ID and anemia were high among HCHS/SOL women and differed by field center and background. These differences highlight the importance of characterizing nutritional risk by background within Hispanic/Latino women.
