The symptoms can be related to an underlying cause or the anemia itself. Most commonly, people with anemia report feelings of weak or tired, and sometimes poor concentration. They may also report shortness of breath on exertion. In very severe anemia, the body may compensate for the lack of oxygen-carrying capability of the blood by increasing cardiac output.<br \/>\nThough, the oral iron supplementation is a very common therapeutic measure to correct anemia it should be only used when  dietary measures  have failed. Moreover, iron  supplement  cannot  correct  anemia  which is not due to iron deficiency. A moderate degree of iron-deficiency anemia affected approximately 610 million people worldwide or 8.8% of the population. It is slightly more common in females (9.9%) than males (7.8%). Mild iron deficiency anemia affects another 375 million.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.academicjournals.org\/article\/article1379682696_Kumar%20and%20Kaushik.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">A study<\/a> reveals that there is strong correlation between blood group and anemia. The individuals with blood group antigen  alpha  and  beta  are comparatively  more  prone  to  be  anemic,whereas  the individuals  devoid  of these  antigens  are  resistant  to anemia. So, it can be concluded that the regular intake of iron and vitamin rich diet  in  individuals  having blood groups A,  B,  and  AB  can  prevent  the  occurrence of anemia.<br \/>\nTo treat your anemia, your doctor may suggest eating more meat\u2014especially red meat (such as beef or liver), as well as chicken, turkey, pork, fish, and shellfish. Nonmeat foods that are good sources of iron include: Spinach and other dark green leafy vegetables.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rhesusnegative.net\/staynegative\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/rh-negative-diet.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rhesusnegative.net\/staynegative\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/rh-negative-diet-300x189.jpg?resize=300%2C189\" alt=\"rh-negative-diet\" width=\"300\" height=\"189\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rhesusnegative.net\/staynegative\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/rh-negative-diet.jpg?resize=300%2C189&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rhesusnegative.net\/staynegative\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/rh-negative-diet.jpg?w=460&amp;ssl=1 460w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>According to the study mentioned above, there is no difference between anemia frequencies amongst rh negatives and rh positives.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>However:<\/strong><br \/>\nBefore the introduction of prophylactic treatment in 1968, a positive frequency dependent selection systematically penalized the less abundant allele because lots of children of RhD-negative women in the mostly RhD-positive population as well as children of RhD- positive men in the mostly RhD-positive population were dying of hemolytic anemia.<br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"http:\/\/journals.plos.org\/plosone\/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0141362\" target=\"_blank\">Worse Health Status and Higher Incidence of Health Disorders in Rhesus Negative Subjects<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top:5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_twitter_via = \"datebytype\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_twitter_via=\"datebytype\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Anemia: Is there a connection to blood types?\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top:5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_twitter_via = \"datebytype\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_twitter_via=\"datebytype\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Anemia: Is there a connection to blood types?\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>Recently I have asked on Facebook: Anemia is a condition in which there is a deficiency of red cells or of haemoglobin in the blood, resulting in pallor and weariness.
