Hemoglobin frequency and anemia stratification within Haitian study population. Note: The graph is divided into severe, moderate, mild, normal, and polycythemic hemoglobin levels, with N being the number of individuals that fall into each category, and the percent being the percentage of the study population that falls into each category.

World Health Organization criteria to stratify anemia based on hemoglobin levels (in g/dl)
Anemia Population Nonanemia Mild Moderate Severe Children, 6–59 months 11.0 or higher 10.0–10.9 7.0–9.9 Lower than 7.0 Children, 11–15 years 11.5 or higher 11.0–11.4 8.0–10.9 Lower than 8.0 Children, 12–14 years 12.0 or higher 11.0–11.9 8.0–10.9 Lower than 8.0 Nonpregnant women, 15+ years 12.0 or higher 11.0–11.9 8.0–10.9 Lower than 8.0 Pregnant women 11.0 or higher 10.0–10.9 7.0–9.9 Lower than 7.0 Men, 15+ years 13.0 or higher 11.0–12.9 8.0–10.9 Lower than 8.0 Study 12.4–14.6 11.0–12.3 8.0–10.9 Lower than 8.0 Note: Criteria varies based on age of the individual. To form the criteria to stratify mild, moderate, and severe anemia for the study, we took the average of the reference values for nonpregnant women and men 15+ years old.18
Prevalence of
Anemia, %Category of Public
Health Significance≤4.9 No public health problem 5.0–19.9 Mild public health problem 20.0–39.9 Moderate public health problem ≥40.0 Severe public health problem Note: The more prevalent the condition, the more severe it is seen as a public health problem within a population.6
