Anemia Leads to Numerous Health Problems:
While anemia is not as recognized a diagnosis as cancer, for example, it has far-reaching implications on cardiovascular and overall health. Many individuals, including physicians, erroneously consider anemia to be a benign condition when, in fact, anemia can reduce quality of life and increase the risk of death. Anemia is associated with a wide array of health problems, including a reduced life expectancy, decreased ability to live independently, increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, and worsening of dementia. Anemia may also be the first sign of a serious underlying disease such as cancer or nutritional deficiency. Unrecognized and untreated, these diseases can have serious consequences, even death.
