Prevalence of anaemia in elderly is seldom studied which is an area of interest. Anaemia is a critical public health problem in all developing countries as it affects growth and energy levels. It is one of the important lifelong health considerations. The magnitude of the quality of life deficiency suffered by Anaemia is frequently underestimated and underappreciated and people tend to attribute this to the stresses of modern life.
