The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has defined anemia as hemoglobin levels of
less than 11 g/dL (hematocrit less than 33 percent) in the first and third trimesters and less than 10.5
g/dL (hematocrit less than 32 percent) in the second trimester [21]. Since hemoglobin and
hematocrit levels are lower in African-American adults, the Institute of Medicine recommends
lowering the hemoglobin cut-off level by 0.8 g/dL in this population
