Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the various hematological parameters and to correlate them with severity and morphological types of anemia in known adult anemic males. Method: Study was conducted at the Dept of Pathology, Index Medical College Hospital & Research Centre, Indore, (M.P), July 2016 to July 2018. Males between 20-60 years who attended various departmental Out Patient Depts at tertiary care centre, and inpatients participated in this study. Result: 610 (61%) cases were found mild (Hb) (10-12.9 g/dl), 280 (28%) were moderate (7-9.9 g/dl) and 110 (11%) were found severe (<7 g/dl). Normocytic normochromic were found 410 (67.21%), microcytic hypochromic were found 110 (18.03%) and normocytic normochromic with few macrocytes were found 90 (14.76%). Conclusion: The risk group to improve their iron status and the need for planning intervention programs that would increase the hemoglobin levels among adult males through prophylaxis treatment, dietary modification and helminth control. Increasing the educational level of man would also ensure safe livelihood to him and his family. We suggest that there is a need for well planned, systematic and large-scale studies by using standardized methodologies to estimate the prevalence of anaemia as well as the causes of anaemia at the community level among males in all the age groups, with an accurate evaluation of the socio-economic status and the representation of the different regions of India.
