Abstract

The present study has been undertaken to estimate the hemoglobin content with the aim to find out the different levels of hemoglobin content among the Angami children (between 6-10 years) of Jotsoma, Kohima district, Nagaland. A total of 100 blood samples was collected from the children of various houses in different areas of the Jostoma village, Kohima district, Nagaland. Major percentage of children were normal and few under the category of moderate and mild. The boys and girls can equally have grouped into the same state of hemoglobin concentration, but no single girl found to be anemic in the age group of 6 and 10 years. However, more number of boys were anemic than girls.
