Conclusion : These findings suggest that hypozincemia with low iron levels may be the possible cause of pica and contradict the contention that low levels of plasma Zn and Fe could be an effect of pica. Correlation of Zn and Fe levels with pica-related variables such as age at onset, duration and frequency and number of inedible objects ingested was not significant. Plasma Zn levels in the pica group (60 ±4.4 mg/dl) was about 45% lower than those in controls (110.2☘.5 mg/dl, p<0.001). Results : The plasma Fe level (mean ±SD) in children with pica (42.7 ☙.2) mg/dl) was about 20% lower than that in controls (51.5 ☑0.0 mg/dl, p<0.001).

Also, increase the awareness among midwives-nurses about the prevalence of pica and iron deficiency anemia among pregnant women.Objective : To determine role of trace elements in causation of pica with specific reference to zinc and iron we studied plasma levels of iron (Fe), Zinc (Zn), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) and blood lead (Pb) levels by atomic absorption spectrophotometer in 31 children with pica (Pica Group) and 60 controls matched for age, sex and nutrition (Control Group) in an observational case and control study in the settings of outpatient clinic of a tertiary care, teaching hospital. The follow-up visits should integrate the food behavior inquiry to check if the pica existing with anemic or non-anemic pregnant women. The pica and iron deficiency anemia had a significant association with pregnant women in EJH. The symptoms attributed to iron deficiency were significantly associated with pica (P< 0,006). Hb and hematocrit in relation to pica reflected a statistically significant relationship (P< 0,001) and (P< 0,001), respectively. There is a statistically significant relationship between pica and the history of a family member, parity, and gravidity at (P< 0,001, P <0,001, P <0,005) respectively. Two-thirds had pica, more than half during the 1st trimester. Ice was the main item in pica followed by clay and chalk. The mean age was 32.2 ± 6.6, half of the participants reported food cravings. Sample size: A total of 400 pregnant women, included anemic pregnant women, ≥ 18 years old, with singleton fetus and iron deficiency anemia. Design: A quantitative descriptive correlation design. The study was conducted in the out-patient department, antenatal Clinic at East Jeddah Hospital from July to September 2020. This study aimed to assess the relationship between Pica and Iron deficiency anemia among pregnant women. The most common cause of eating non-food items (pica) is specific deficiencies of minerals, such as iron.
