Background
Anemia, iron deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) continue to be common disorders in the world.
Aims
This study was aimed at assessing the prevalence of anemia, ID and IDA in apparently healthy Korean women aged 10 years or more. We also aimed at verifying an association of heavy metals in blood or nutritional intakes with ID and IDA.
Methods
We used the fifth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES V; 2010~2012) data by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This study was performed on 10,169 Korean women including 1,232 anemia, 2,030 ID and 690 IDA subjects. Prevalence and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using the SAS Survey Procedures. Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify significant factors that affect the risks of ID and IDA.
Results
The overall prevalence rate of anemia, ID and IDA was 12.4%, 23.11% and 7.7%, respectively, between 2010 and 2012 in Korean women. The most prevalent age groups for anemia were ≥ 70 (17.8%) and 19-49 years (15.0%). The women of 15-18 (36.5% for ID; 10.7% for IDA) and 19-49 years (32.7% for ID; 11.3% for IDA) were most prevalent for ID and IDA.
Summary
This study shows that the prevalence of anemia, ID and IDA was relatively high in late adolescents and reproductive ages, and there has been minimal improvement in the burden of anemia and IDA compared with the previous data. The cadmium in blood was found to increase the risk for ID and IDA, however, vitamin D intake contributed to prevent the risk for ID and IDA. Our findings indicate that systematic health systems between policymakers and specialists are needed to control anemia, ID and IDA.

The risks of ID and IDA conferred by the blood cadmium level were significant (OR = 3.03, 95% CI = 2.45-3.75, p < 0.0001 for ID; OR = 3.14, 95% CI = 2.41-4.10, p < 0.0001 for IDA). Vitamin D intake showed significant protective effects of ID and IDA (OR = 0.96, 95% CI = 0.94-0.98, p = 0.0004 for ID; OR = 0.94, 95% CI = 0.91-0.98, p = 0.0015 for IDA).
