The aim of the present study was to analyze the changes in hemoglobin level among an adults woman with age. Hemoglobin, the iron containing metallo protein in the red blood cells, transports oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body, where it releases its load of the oxygen. A total of 2000 women categorized in four age groups: 20-30, 31-40, 41-50, and 51-60 years were examined. Hemoglobin level estimated by using Cyanmethemoglobin method.In this study we find that anemia is the most common nutritional deficiency disorder in the world. It affects all age groups but the most vulnerable are 20-30 years women, after analyzing hemoglobin, in age group 31-60 years it was found that more than half of the women were normal hemoglobin. Most of the subjects are having the healthy level of hemoglobin (g/dl), which is given by the WHO. But some of the peoples are having very less amount of hemoglobin than the normal healthy hemoglobin levels, so they were anemic patients 31-60 years women were found to be in the normal range.
