A sample of 100 (50 males and 50 females) in the age group of 51-70 years were selected randomly from the fishing communities of the Nellore district. The iron status of the subjects of the fisherman community was assessed by estimating Haemoglobin levels (Hb), Packed cell volume (PVC), Serum Iron (SI), Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC), Percent Transferrin saturation ( % TS) and Serum Ferritin levels. Based on the results pertaining to Iron status parameters in the present study, it can be stated that a good percentage of subjects in the fishing community do suffer from iron deficiency anemia.
