BACKGROUND: Despite the fact that anemia is a common health problem with many consequences, its magnitude among adults and the different contributing factors have not been documented in the study setting. Hence, this study aimed to determine the magnitude of anemia and associated factors among adult patients of Baso Liben District.
METHODS: A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from 1 December 2019, to February 30, 2020. A total of 347 adult patients attending Yejubie Hospital were enrolled in the study. Socio-demographic data were collected through face-to-face interview. Patients' hemoglobin level was determined by a Mindray BC-5800 CBC hematology analyzer. The presence of intestinal parasites and malaria infection were assessed.
RESULTS: The overall magnitude of anemia was 25.94% with moderate severity according to the WHO anemia classification. The prevalence of mild, moderate, and severe anemia was 13.54%, 8.36%, and 4.03%, respectively. Anemia was associated with age range ≥55 years (AOR = 31.66), large family size (AOR = 6.62), being married (AOR = 0.24), intestinal parasite infections (AOR = 4.05), malaria infection (AOR = 4.61), and pregnancy (AOR = 4.09).
CONCLUSION: The prevalence of anemia was moderate. Intestinal parasitic infection, age, malaria, family size, and pregnancy were associated factors with anemia.
