Blood hemoglobin concentration (Hb) was measured by the cyanomethemoglobin method; Hb &lt;110 g/l was considered as anemia. Results: The overall prevalence of anemia was 58.6%, ranging from 48.1 to 70.5% in the five areas. There was a significant difference in the prevalence of anemia between women who have mental jobs and those who have physical jobs (52.3 vs. 61.1%, p &lt; 0.01). The prevalence of anemia depended on the level of education: with 52.9, 62.4 and 66.5%, for college, secondary school and primary education, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (p = 0.005). Results showed that higher birth weight was associated with Hb concentrations ranging from 90 to 140 g/l, whereas lower birth weight occurred below 80 g/l and above 140 g/l Hb. Conclusions: The prevalence of anemia in Chinese pregnant women was high both in rural areas and towns. Area of residence, education level and type of job influenced the prevalence of anemia. Low maternal Hb concentrations influenced birth weight.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1011-7571</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1423-0151</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1159/000226290</identifier><identifier>PMID: 19648759</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Basel, Switzerland</publisher><subject>Adult ; Anemia - epidemiology ; Birth Weight ; China - epidemiology ; Cross-Sectional Studies ; deficiency ; Educational Status ; Female ; Humans ; Infant, Newborn ; iron status ; Original Paper ; outcomes ; Pregnancy ; Pregnancy Complications, Hematologic - epidemiology ; Pregnancy Trimester, Third ; Prevalence ; randomized controlled-trial ; Rural Population ; supplementation ; Urban Population ; Young Adult</subject><ispartof>Medical principles and practice, 2009-01, Vol.18 (5), p.368-372</ispartof><rights>2009 S.
