| dc.description.abstract | Anemia is a serious global public health problem and researchers have typically been focused on young children and pregnant women. However, there are also serious health-related concerns for older adults. In the wealthy world, this condition is generally easily identified and treated yet it is frequently overlooked by physicians. In contrast, it is a health problem that affects major portions of the population in many low- and middle-income countries. The purpose of the current study is to use Wave 1 data from the World Health Organization’s Study on global AGEing and adult health (SAGE) to: 1) describe the anemia rates for 14,848 adults 50 years and older in three countries- South Africa, China and Mexico; and 2) investigate associations among anemia, poor health across, and socioeconomic status in the three countries. The rates of anemia were 28%, 24%, and 91% in China, Mexico, and South Africa, respectively; this indicates a moderate to high public health significance as indicated by the WHO. Funding: Support for SAGE was provided by the US National Institute on Aging through interagency agreements (OGHA 04034785, YA1323-08-CN-0020, and Y1-AG-1005-01) and through research grants (R01-AG034479 and R21-AG034263) | en_US |
