RESUMO
Anaemia in the Turks & Caicos Islands was studied by examining all antenatal records for a four-year period from 1981 to 1984. If the World Health Organization (WHO) standards were used, 60-70 per cent of the antenatals were classified as anaemic over the four-year period. The per cent of antenatals with haemoglobin levels below 9.0 gm/dl varied from 7 to 9 per cent. There was a statistical difference between the four years of data from the Turks & Caicos Islands and the haemoglobin levels of the University Hospital of the West Indies antenatals
