Abstract:- Anaemia among women of reproductive age of 15-49 years is a critical public health issue in india with adverse health implications of maternal morbidity and mortality. As per NFHS-4, the prevalence of anaemia among women of reproductive age in uttar pradesh was 52.7% and 52.4% in urban and rural areas respectively. A study was undertaken to estimate the prevalence of anaemia among women of reproductive age group of 15-49 years; and to examine rural-urban differentials and association of socioeconomic determinants with anaemia. The secondary data of the national family health survey-4 conducted in the year 2015-16 have been used in the study and analysis done for the state of uttar pradesh. The prevalence of anaemia was calculated and chi-square test and binary logistic regression was carried out to identify the association between anaemia status and socioeconomic factors. Findings show that anaemia was more prevalent among women with low bmi in both urban (59.1%) and rural (55.4%) areas. The younger women in age group of 15-24 years were more anaemic compared to older women in urban and rural areas. Poorest wealth index 55.6% were higher anaemic compared to other groups in urban area. The women having higher educational status were more likely of having anaemia than the women having no formal education in both the urban and rural areas. Social groups i.e., poor women are more likely of having anaemia compared to other social groups after controlling for other factors in the model. Overweight women were 1.5 times more likely to be having anaemia than the women with low bmi in the urban and rural areas respectively after controlling for socioeconomic variables. Objective- To study the rural-urban disparities and socioeconomic determinants of prevalence of anaemia among women of reproductive age of 15-49 years. To study the various factor responsible for anemia. To know about the knowledge level and prevention techniques of anemic women in urban & rural PHC and CHC. Methods- Research design- descriptive research has used , the study tool is a self designed questionnaire, which was structured to obtained information relating to rural and urban disparities and socioeconomic determinants of prevention of anemia among women of reproductive age of 15-49 YEARS and influencing factor such as age ,bmi, education status and wealth index. Result- Present the distribution of women of reproductive age 15-49 years by socioeconomic back ground characteristic according to the place of residence. In the age of 15-24 years, 25.3% of women were in rural area in comparison to 16.8% in urban areas. Overall, 18.4% of the women were overweight. One- quarter 19.2% of women in the rural areas had low bmi than the urban areas 12.6 %. Around 27.7% of the participants were in the poor category in rural areas in contrast to 11% in urban areas. Conclusion- the study revealed that prevalence of anaemia was higher among women in the age group of 15-24 years, having no education and belonging to poorer wealth quantile in rural and urban areas of uttar pradesh. Anaemia continues to remain as a serious health problem due to various causes. Therefore, efforts should be geared towards early detection and treatment of anaemia.
