  • In India, hypothyroidism affects 1 in 10 adults, with 41.8% developing anaemia. Women are three times more likely to be affected. Awareness and timely

The article from the Times of India discusses the dual health challenges of hypothyroidism and anemia in India. It highlights how hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones, can lead to symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and cold intolerance, while also potentially exacerbating anemia due to its impact on metabolism and red blood cell production. Anemia, particularly iron-deficiency anemia, is prevalent in India, affecting a significant portion of the population, especially women and children. The piece explains the interrelation between these conditions, noting that hypothyroidism can worsen anemia by reducing the absorption of iron and affecting erythropoiesis. It also touches on the dietary and lifestyle factors contributing to these health issues, such as iodine deficiency for hypothyroidism and poor nutrition for anemia. The article emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis, proper management through medication, diet, and lifestyle changes, and the need for public health initiatives to address these widespread health concerns in India.
