Table 2 Prevalence of anemia in relation to blood lead levels.
From: Relation between anemia and blood levels of lead, copper, zinc and iron among children
Low blood lead level <10 μg/dl (n = 22) No (%) | High blood lead level ≥10 μg/dl (n = 38) No (%) | Test of significance | |
|---|---|---|---|
No anemia | 16 (72.7) | 14 (36.8) | x2 = 7.17 p = 0.00 |
Anemia | 6 (27.3) | 24 (63.2)** |
