Anemia is a condition characterized by a deficiency of healthy red blood cells, leading to inadequate oxygen supply to the body’s organs. This often manifests as symptoms such as feeling cold, experiencing shortness of breath, and feeling tired or weak.
In the United States, anemia is the most prevalent blood condition, affecting nearly 6 percent of the population. Certain groups, such as women, young children, and individuals with chronic illnesses, are more susceptible to developing anemia.
