ObjectiveAnemia is a major problem in developing countries, the purpose of the present study was to investigate therelationship between the human development index (HDI) and the prevalence of anemia among Asian women. MethodsThis was a descriptive-analytic ecological study. The study analyzed data including HDI and prevalence of anemiaextracted from the World Bank. The correlation coefficient and analysis of variance were used for data analysis. Thesignificance level was considered to be less than 0.05. Analyses were performed using Stata-14 software. ResultsThe results revealed that the prevalence of anemia in women of reproductive age (R=−0.626, P<0.001), pregnantwomen (R=−0.576, P<0.001) and non-pregnant women (R=−0.623, P<0.0001) was significantly negatively correlatedwith HDI index. In the analysis of HDI components and the prevalence of anemia, a significant negative correlationwas observed between the prevalence of anemia and the mean years of schooling, life expectancy at birth, andexpected years of schooling indices in all 3 groups of women (non-pregnant, pregnant, and of reproductive age)(P<0.05). ConclusionSince there was a negative correlation between the prevalence of anemia in women and HDI, paying greaterattention to factors which influence anemia may contribute to the prevention of anemia in developing countries.
