Anemia can be seen anytime during life, since birth to old age irrespective of urban or rural area, cast and gender, educational or social status of the people. The major problem of this disease is that it has very gradual onset without any apparent signs and symptoms remaining silent for long time still producing exhaustion of the human economy.
