PIP: This work analyzes the possible causes of anemia in 2 groups of pregnant women observed in 2 different hospitals in Mexico City; 1 group of 216 patients, and another group of 121 women who were already in labor. Women in the first group were short, of low schooling, high gestation and parity, and high incidence of previous fetal losses. Women in the second group were taller, slightly better educated, but still with high gestation and parity, and high incidence of fetal lossed. Hematological data collected included hemoglobin level, packed cell volume, RBC folates, serum assay of iron, total iron binding capacity, and albumin. 23% of patients in the first group, and 17% in the 2nd. group were found to be anemic; the percentage rose to 49% and 35% respectively if patients with low hemoglobin level were also considered to be anemic. The principal finding of the study was that iron deficiency was present in 53% of cases of anemia, and that it was probably to be ascribed to nutritional deficiencies.^ieng
