Introduction and Aim: Most studies indicate that between 10% and 45% of older people have anemia. The etiology is diverse and usually complicated. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical and hematological models of anemia in elderly residents of nursing homes in Kyrgyzstan's southern regions who are 60 years of age and older.
Materials and Methods: A total of 223 elderly persons, including 97 (43.5%) men and 126 (56.5%) women, participated in this study at nursing facilities in the southern areas of Kyrgyzstan. The elderly persons were 77.95.18 years old on average.
Results: 23.3% of the 223 older people in the study living in wards of nursing facilities in the southern areas of Kyrgyzstan were anemic. Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) (50%) was the most prevalent type of anemia, followed by vitamin B12 deficiency anemia (26.7%), and anemia of chronic disease (23.1%). Both blood ferritin and serum iron levels were considerably below normal, which is common for IDA. The value of vitamin B12 in the blood, which was within the usual limits (461.0–5.73 ng/l), was also revealed, indicating IDA.
Conclusion: Anemia affects quality of life and increases morbidity and mortality in elderly people.
