Ampiah MKM, et al. - Using a retrospective study design, researchers comparatively examined the trends and determinants of anaemia between adult and teenage pregnant women in rural Ghana. From the manual medical records of 1,002 women stored in the repositories of two rural district hospitals in the Ashanti Region of Ghana over the years 2011–2015, data including primarily pregnancy history, haemoglobin levels and anaemia status were gathered. Findings revealed that there was an overall decrease in mean haemoglobin from 11.1 g/dl in 2011 to 10.6 g/dl in 2015 for adults, while there was an overall increase from 9.4 g/dl to 10.2 g/dl for teenagers. In addition, the prevalence of anaemia declined for both teenagers and adults at the 36th week of pregnancy, and from 2011 to 2015. Although the trends observed in both adults and teenagers were decreasing in the reported years, levels of anaemia remained high in either group for each year. Therefore, anaemia remains a major health problem, particularly in the areas studied, and antenatal interventions need a second look in order to know what could make them more effective.
