The findings suggest that anemia during pregnancy is associated with maternal and fetal health outcomes and that mild anemia is associated with improved maternal and fetal survival and fetal growth. Further work is needed to validate the concentration of hemoglobin at which optimal maternal and fetal health are achieved.
