Obese and mild anaemic.Please suggest
-
Hello everyone this is my first post here. I'm (5'2) and 86kg. My BMI is 34.89 which is very close to morbidly obese. And my LDL cholesterol is high(2.9). I don't count calories but I think I can eat more than 3000 calories a day. My question is can obese people be anemic? I just have general health screening a few days ago and my hemoglobin is slightly low. I just find it weird since I'm so fat and I like oily fatty junk foods like Mcdonald's.

@harigandhi You can have low iron from poor eating habits. People who are heavy due to poor food choices and who are not eating green leafy vegetables which are foods that are high in iron might lead them to be anemic.
