进行了一项横断面研究，以确定科威特孕妇贫血和缺铁的危险因素。在科威特六个保健机构进行产前检查期间招募了年龄在18- 47岁、妊娠4- 39周的孕妇（n == 465）。收集社会人口统计、妊娠相关和饮食信息。测定血红蛋白、血清铁蛋白和血清c反应蛋白浓度。Logistic回归分析显示，缺铁和不服用叶酸铁片或偶尔服用叶酸铁片是与贫血相关的两个最重要的危险因素。孕龄较大、生育间隔短（<千分之一）、不服用或偶尔服用叶酸铁片、不喝果汁、吃黑面包、茶和/或咖啡的孕妇是缺铁的重要危险因素。总之，包括饮食习惯在内的各种因素似乎都与铁含量低有关，铁含量低是科威特孕妇贫血的最重要危险因素。
A cross-sectional study was carried out to indentify the risk factors of anemia and iron deficiency in Kuwaiti pregnant women. Pregnant women (n == 465) aged 18--47 years, of 4--39 weeks at gestation were recruited during antenatal visits from six health facilities in Kuwait. Socio-demographic, pregnancy-related and dietary information were collected. Hemoglobin, serum ferritin and serum C-reactive protein concentrations were determined. Logistic regression analysis revealed that iron deficiency and not taking iron-folate tablets or taking them occasionally were the two most important risk factors associated with anemia. Pregnant women with higher gestational age, short birth spacing ( < a parts per thousand currency sign 2 years), not taking iron-folate tablets or taking them occasionally, not consuming fruit juice, and consuming brown bread, tea and/or coffee were significant risk factors associated with iron deficiency. In conclusion, various factors including dietary habits appeared to be associated with poor iron status, which is the most important risk factor for anemia among Kuwaiti pregnant women.
