In the present study, it
was found that anemia increases steadily with decrease
in the level of educational attainment. One study found
that anemia was most common in illiterate women
(53.7%) as compared with 37.1% in literate women. [12] A
study conducted in 7 states with similar sample used in
National Family Health Survey (NFHS) -2 had observed
an association between the literacy status of husband
