Question : Which of the following are common causes of anemia in women of childbearing age? (Select all that apply)
A. Iron deficiency anemia
B. Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia
C. Menorrhagia
D. Pregnancy-related anemia
Answer: ACD
Explanation: Common causes of anemia in women of childbearing age include iron deficiency anemia (due to menorrhagia, pregnancy, or inadequate iron intake), menorrhagia (the most common cause of iron deficiency anemia), and pregnancy-related anemia (increased iron demand). Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia is more common in the elderly or vegetarians, not in women of childbearing age. Hence, the correct answers are ACD.
