“… 20 , 26 , 28 Our results are similar with previous studies from other sub-Saharan African countries and elsewhere that have also reported a declining risk with increasing age. 11 , 20 , 26 , 28 , 29 These patterns indicate a need to focus anemia interventions more toward children of less than 24 months old.…”

“…This is similar to a study in Nigeria, 26 but however differs from studies in Bangladesh, Brazil, India, Indonesia, and Uganda that reported evidence of low mother’s education as a risk factor regarding childhood anemia . 18 , 28 , 29 , 33 For child health and feeding practices, the mother’s education level is believed to be a key influencer as mothers are the primary caregivers. 39 Thus, we acknowledge that the mother’s education might play an important role in reducing the prevalence of anemia, even if our study is not giving such indication.…”

“… 30 , 31 In most studies, however, there is evidence of an association between anemia and at least one of the nutritional factors. 20 , 21 , 23 , 29 , 33 , 40 The fact that anemia is a malnutrition deficit, a co-existent and increased risk of anemia is mostly assumed among malnourished children. 20 , 21 , 41 However, our results indicate that this might not be the case for Namibian children.…”

Background: Anaemia remains a public health concern, and the its prevalence varies between countries as well as between age, sex and levels of poverty. This study aims at examining the association between socio-demographic factors and anaemia among children aged 6–59 months in Namibia. Methods: Data was extracted from the 2013 Namibian Demographic Health Survey. The association between anaemia and other factors was examined with logistic regression. Results are reported in odds ratio (OR), with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: In total, 1,383 children aged 6–59 months had complete data and included in the analyses. Our study shows that there is a statistically significantly increased risk of anaemia among children from poorer households compared with the richest quintile. Also, there was a statistically significance supporting anaemia being more common among boys than girls. There was also a statistically significant negative effect related to age. Discussion: Our study shows that young children, boys and children in poorer households have an increased risk of anaemia. Considering the adverse impact of anaemia on child development, policies must prioritise factors exacerbating anaemia risk.

BackgroundOver the years, the increasing prevalence of head lice infestation has led to an increase in treatment‐related costs and the development of resistance to pediculicides. This study aimed to evaluate pediculicide sales over an 8‐year period (2015–2022), including the COVID‐19 pandemic.MethodsData on products registered in the Turkish Pharmaceutical Index Dataview, Intercontinental Medical Statistics (IMS) database, sold on prescription and approved by the Ministry of Health in Türkiye were formally requested from the research organization IQVIA for pharmacologically active pediculicides (PAP) such as permethrin, pyrethrin, and sumithrin. Data for physically active products containing dimethicone (DMT) were obtained from the relevant pharmaceutical companies. Sale revenues were determined based on sale prices in the aforementioned year.ResultsTotal sales of pediculicides decreased from 2,452,846 units in 2015 to 2,028,840 units in 2022. While PAP consumption decreased over the years, from 1,832,006 to 518,460 units, DMT consumption increased from 620,840 to 1,510,380 units, from 2015 to 2022. The total price of pediculicides for the consumer increased more than threefold in Turkish currency. In terms of USD, an almost similar amount of money was spent over the years, with the exception of 2022 when the expenditure almost halved mainly due to the high inflation rate in the country.ConclusionThe decrease in PAP and the increase in DMT indicate that local lice have developed resistance to the former. Further studies are needed to determine the possible development of resistance in the country.
