Nutritional megaloblastic anemia
Nutritional megaloblastic anemia, also known as nutritional macrocytic anemia, is mainly caused by a lack of vitamin B12 and folic acid. It is common in infants and young children, as well as pregnant and lactating women. It is less common in other age groups, and the exact incidence is unclear. With the improvement of people's living and economic conditions, this disease has become rare in large and medium-sized cities, but it is still not uncommon in rural areas in North China, Northwest China, Northeast China and Southwest China.
