The World Health Organization examines how haemoglobin concentrations can be measured and interpreted to define anaemia in individuals and populations. This 2024 guideline considers thresholds for different groups, the classification of severity, and factors that affect the interpretation of a result.
Evidence summaries address elevation of residence, smoking, infection and inflammation, and genetic ancestry or ethnicity. Further sections examine measurement methods, the assessment of iron interventions, and the public-health significance of population prevalence. The document explains its development methods and implementation considerations, with references, evidence tables, research questions, and contributor information retained in the complete edition.
