Quality of Life in Anemic Participants Receiving Treatment at 30000 IU Once Weekly (SF-36 Questionnaire) Prior to Treatment
Time Frame: Baseline

The SF-36 evaluates 36 questions related to participant-rated quality of life using 7 domains: physical and social functioning, physical and emotional role limitations, overall health, vitality, and mental health.
The total score is the average of the individual question scores, which is scaled from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better functioning.
The mean score at each timepoint was determined by averaging the scores among all participants.
