abstract: Anaemia is defined as a patologic process in which the
hemoglobin concentration, present on the red blood cells is
normally low, concerning the variations according to age, sex and
altitude in relation to the sea level, in consequence of many
situations as chronic infections, hereditary blood problems, lack
of one of the essential nutrients, necessary in the formation of
the hemoglobin, as folic acid, vitamin B12, B6 e C and proteins.
According to the OMS estimation, on the developing countries the
iron deficiency anaemia affects close to 36% of the population, as
long as on the developed countries its occurrence remains round 8%.
Amongst the nutritional anaemias, iron deficiency anaemia is the
most common, followed by megaloblastica anaemia, caused by, vitamin

erythropoiesis. The present work had as the prime objective,
analyse the prevalence of anaemia in Porto Novo, Santo Antao

analysed, using the haematologic automatic counter SYSMEX KX-21N,
between May and July 2010. The classification of anaemias was
realized, according to the reference values determined by OMS to
hemoglobin counting, so also the values of reference to MCV was
established with support on researched bibliography and that of
local reference values.The results indicated that, in the whole
samples, 159 was male and 321 was female, in what, 41,01% (n=194)
has presented anaemia, as long as 58,99 %(n=279) has presented
normality. This was more prevalente on female, where we observed
