This study was designed investigate the prevalence of anaemia, a common low haemoglobin condition, in young female population of Aurangabad region (MS). On an average the haemoglobin level in female should be within the range of 12.1 to 15.1g/dL. But, given the modern lifestyle, dietary intakes, altered food habits etc. occurrence of anemia is becoming more and more common in young women. Methods : 108 female college students participated in the study. The haemoglobin (Hb), level was measured using Sahli__ampersandsignrsquo;s haemoglobinometer. Anaemia was defined as a situation where Hb is less than 12 g/dL. Further the anaemia was categorized into severe, moderate and mild based on the Hb levels. Results: The complete data was available for 108 young female students of Aurangabad region (MS). The prevalence of anaemia was 83.34 percent. Normal haemoglobin status was found in 16.66 percent of the subjects. Conclusion: Anaemia is common among 18 to 25-year old females of Aurangabad region (MS). Iron supplementation is thus required for the target group.&#13;
