Anemia is one of the most common public health problems in the world, especially among pregnant women. The objective of our study is to describe the socio-demographic and epidemiological profile of anemic women. We conducted a prospective study in the maternity department of the CHEIKH ZAYED Hospital Center in Nouakchott, during the period from 2015 to 2016. In addition, 400 pregnant women are interviewed, including 49.75% (n=199) with anemia, of which 34.17% were under 24 years of age, 63.31% are white Moors and 90.45% are at home. As a result, Statistical analyzes show a significant relationship, between certain socio-economic factors (Age, provenence area, ethnic origin, household size) and anemia.
