Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To find the role of essential elements (Zn, Mg, Cu, Fe, Se, Cr, Mn, Mo), lifestyle stress, and vitamin D in the increased prevalence of iron deficiency anemia among a sample of Indian population.Timepoint: 3 years	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1. To correlate the prevalence of anemia in patients consuming water purified by reverse osmosis and un-purified tap water. Timepoint: 3 years;2. To correlate the prevalence of anemia with socioeconomic conditions and type of cookware used by the patients (plasma levels of aluminium). Timepoint: 3 years;3. To evaluate the efficacy of 12 weeks of iron-folic acid therapy alone or in combination with vitamin D and/or essential elements in anemic patients with or without stress. Timepoint: 3 years;4. To correlate the levels of biomarkers (TSH, ferritin, transferrin, TIBC, hepcidin) in anemic patients with or without stress.Timepoint: 3 years	—
