    TLDR Anemia in pregnant women is linked to being younger, having lower income, and drinking coffee, while regular check-ups and age reduce risk.
    The study conducted in 2021 across health centers in Casablanca-Settat and Marrakech-Safi involved 503 pregnant women to identify factors affecting anemia. It found that 74.3% of anemic women had hypochromic microcytic anemia, with most being housewives with lower income. Anemia was less prevalent in older women and those with regular antenatal care. Iron supplementation was common, yet anemia signs like pallor, hair loss, and headaches were significant. Coffee consumption increased anemia risk. The study highlights the importance of age, antenatal care, and dietary habits in managing anemia during pregnancy.
