Abstract

Nutritional anemia has been recognized for some time as a common deficiency state. Because it produces little apparent disability, nutritional anemia is accepted as a fact of life. Its significance to the individual will probably never be defined, for the real hazard of anemia is obscured by the numerous compensatory mechanisms of the oxygen transport system. However it is recognized that in the otherwise healthy individual maximum work performance will be reduced proportionate to the fall in the hemoglobin so that anemia imposes economic limitations on people whose livelihood depends on physical work.
