According to WHO, the haemoglobin level of a non-pregnant woman should be -
Answer: D
A non-pregnant woman's haemoglobin should be ≥ 12 g/dl.
The WHO cut-offs for anaemia are a haemoglobin level below 12 g/dl in non-pregnant women, below 11 g/dl in pregnant women and below 13 g/dl in adult men. A non-pregnant woman with 12 g/dl or more is therefore not anaemic.
11 g/dl is the threshold for pregnancy, which is lower because blood volume expands and dilutes the haemoglobin. 9 and 10 g/dl fall in the range of moderate anaemia, so they cannot be the normal level.
