Definition

BIOFANEMIALVL (V457) reports the respondent's level of anemia, from not anemic to severely anemic, based on hemoglobin levels in blood drawn by DHS personnel.

[Hemoglobin] levels below 7.0 g/dl are considered as severe anemia, levels between 7.1g/dl and 9.9g/dl are considered as moderate anemia, and cases between 10.0 g/dl and 10.9 g/dl are considered as mild anemia for pregnant women and between 10.0 g/dl and 11.9 g/dl for all other adult women.
