1.2 Statement of problem
Anemia is a major public health problem all
around the world and even more in developing countries like Ethiopia
with a prevalence of 22% (CSA, 2011). Anemia could be the consequence of
many factors such as: infections, micronutrient deficiency, blood loss
or genetic disorders (Bhuta et al., 2012; Ugwuja, et al., 2011; Haidar,
2010). Of all the micronutrients that are presumed to be predisposing
factors ID has been extensively assessed but others like folate and
cobalamin, should also be assessed as they have been shown to have great
impact on development of anemia on researches done on other countries
(Gibson et al., 2008; Khan et al., 2010; Knovich et al., 2008).
