3 in 5 Women at Risk of Anemia—Three Times More Vulnerable Than Men, Reveals Redcliffe Labs Study

• The two-year study, based on health data from over 1 million women, indicates that anaemia and thyroid disorders are among the most prevalent health concerns.

• One in five women is at risk of thyroid disorders, which can lead to fatigue, metabolic issues, and hormonal imbalances.

• The study also highlights an alarming increase in anaemia, thyroid disorders, arthritis, diabetes, and lipid imbalances in women.

India, March 06, 2025: Redcliffe Labs, a leading diagnostic healthcare service provider, has identified a significant rise in lifestyle disorders among women. The study reveals a concerning disparity in health risks between men and women, particularly in conditions such as thyroid disorders and anaemia. One in five women is at risk of thyroid disorders, which can lead to fatigue, metabolic issues, and hormonal imbalances. The health analysis by Redcliffe Labs also highlights that three in five women are at risk of anaemia, making them three times more vulnerable than men. Anaemia, if left unaddressed, can lead to chronic fatigue, reduced immunity, and long-term health complications.

Additionally, an increasing number of women are being diagnosed with diabetes and lipid disorders, both of which are strongly linked to lifestyle factors and, if not managed properly, can contribute to severe health issues.

The study, based on health data from over one million women, highlights an alarming increase in anaemia, thyroid disorders, arthritis, diabetes, and lipid imbalances. It highlights the need for preventive healthcare, early screening, and lifestyle interventions to curb the growing burden of non-communicable diseases.

The growing burden of lifestyle-related diseases calls for a proactive approach to healthcare, focusing on early detection and timely medical intervention. Redcliffe Labs emphasizes that routine screenings, balanced nutrition, regular exercise, and stress management are essential in effectively preventing and managing these conditions.

Aditya Kandoi, CEO & Founder at Redcliffe Labs, said, “The increasing incidence of lifestyle disorders among women is a serious concern that cannot be ignored. With three in five women at risk of anaemia and one in five vulnerable to thyroid disorders, these numbers highlight the urgent need for timely health screenings and preventive care. Women often prioritize the well-being of their families over their own health, but regular check-ups and simple lifestyle changes can help prevent long-term complications. Awareness, early diagnosis, and proactive steps today can lead to a healthier future.”

Redcliffe Labs urges women to prioritize their health by undergoing regular screenings and adopting healthier lifestyles to mitigate risks and improve overall well-being. They’ve introduced special health test packages with hormonal screening at discounted prices, catering to women across different age groups.
