                                Studies have shown that the frequency of anemia in Japan is statistically higher than that of many foreign countries. While Japan is often lauded for its citizens' longevity, a closer look at national health data reveals specific segments of the population, particularly young women and the elderly, are disproportionately affected by this condition. This prevalence is linked to a combination of modern dietary changes and evolving lifestyle factors.
