Abstract

Anaemia is a significant public health issue, particularly among the geriatric population, where it is often underdiagnosed. It is associated with increased morbidity, hospitalizations, frailty, and diminished quality of life. In India, the prevalence of anaemia among elderly individuals ranges from 21% to 92%. Understanding the patterns and severity of anaemia in geriatric patients is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.
