“…6 , 31 This may be because of limited access to health facilities and limited resources for adequate and proper nutrition during pregnancy. 16 , 31 , 32 Based on the finding of this study, anaemia prevalence was highest in women with a monthly household income of less than $343.00 (44.9%). These findings are consistent with a study in Ethiopia, where women from lower socio-economic classes had a higher prevalence of anaemia than those from higher socio-economic classes.…”

Background: Anaemia is a global health problem affecting about a third of the world’s population. In pregnancy, it is a public health concern with consequences for mothers and infants, including maternal death and infant mortality. In low-income countries (LICs), 25% indirect maternal mortality and 30% neonatal deaths are due to anaemia in pregnancy.Aim: This study aimed to determine the prevalence and risks associated with anaemia amongst pregnant women attending antenatal clinic (ANC) in three health facilities in Eswatini.Setting: This study was conducted in three health facilities in Eswatini, namely Mankayane, Raleigh Fitkin Memorial (RFM) and Mbabane Hospital.Methods: This cross-sectional study used non-probability sampling in three hospitals of Eswatini, to select 550 pregnant women, aged 15–49 years. Data were collected from January to March 2021, using face-to-face interviews with a structured questionnaire. Logistic regression was used for statistical analysis.Results: A total of 550 pregnant women were included in the study. Anaemia prevalence amongst pregnant women was 43.1% with mild, moderate and severe cases of 21.3%; 21.1% and 0.7%, respectively. Prevalence was high amongst women aged 15–19 years (53.3%). Factors associated with anaemia included living in urban areas (odds ratio [OR]: 1.8; confidence interval [CI]: 1.19–2.72), having anaemia 6 months before pregnancy (OR: 4.64; CI: 1.15–18.71), and gestational age at first ANC: third trimester (OR = 10.42; CI: 4.27–25.4) and second trimester (OR: 1.62; CI: 1.02–2.60).Conclusion: Anaemia remains prevalent amongst pregnant women in Eswatini. A comprehensive anaemia prevention programme would be justified and could lower the country’s burden of anaemia.

Background: Anemia in pregnancy (AIP) is a global public health problem reaching prevalence as 41.8% globally, and up to 54% in Middle East region. It accounts for 20% of global maternal deaths. In Yemen, prevalence of AIP is 40%. It consists part of high complicated maternal mortality ratio which reached 164 according last Yemeni demographic health survey reports. The study aimed to assess AIP prevalence and determinants at Hodeida city, Yemen. Methods: Cross sectional study conducted on 500 pregnant women who were selected from Hodeida health centers, their data collected through structured pretested questionnaire, Hb of study members had been assessed through hemoglobinometer. Data Analysis: Data statistically analyzed through SPSS program (version 22) using descriptive statistics, Chi square test for investigating the association between AIP and the independent factors. Results: The study revealed AIP prevalence as 55%. It revealed statistically significant determinants of AIP including husband education (P=0.000), mother education (P=0.10), mother concerned health knowledge (P=0.000), suffering from over menses(P=0.000), family socioeconomic level(P=0.000), food sufficiency(P=0.02), food diversity(P=0.087), supplementary feeding support(P=0.05), Khat chewing habit (P=0.094) and post meal tea drinking(P=0.043), while no significant association found for mother age (P=0.144) , parity(P=0.690), pregnancy trimester(P=0.414), breastfeeding(P=0.581) and using contraceptives(P=0.208). Conclusion: Anemia in pregnancy at Hodeida city is a sever public health problem according WHO classification. Socio economic and nutritional factors are representing its roots. Key words: Anemia, Pregnancy, Prevalence, Determinants.

“…Akibat kekurangan zat gizi selama kehamilan anemia juga diperburuk juga dengan meningkatnya kebutuhan gizi terkait pertumbuhan janin dalam kandungan. Defisiensi zat besi pada ibu hamil menyebabkan asupan zat besi ke janin menurun sehingga dapat menyebabkan persalinan prematur, kecil masa kehamilan dan peningkatan kematian perinatal (Benson et al, 2020;Chang et al, 2013;Ugwu & Uneke, 2020;Wesström, 2020).…”

Anemia kehamilan adalah defisiensi besi yang berperan dalam pembentukan hemoglobin yaitu protein, besi, vitamin B12, vitamin C dan asam folat. Asam folat berperan dalam metabolisme asam amino yang diperlukan dalam pembentukan sel darah merah untuk mencegah terjadinya cacat janin dan anemia. Penelitian ini merupakan studi literatur yang bersifat deksriptif. Penelusuran artikel menggunakan aplikasi Mendeley dengan tahun publikasi dari 2017 sampai dengan 2021 dan mendapatkan 10 artikel yang relavan berdasarkan kriteria inklusi. Dari 10 artikel yang eligibel dan memenuhi kriteria yang telah ditentukan, pemberian suplemen folamil dan tablet zat besi terhadap ibu hamil dengan anemia memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap peningkatan kadar haemoglobin. Selama kehamilan, ibu hamil mendapatkan asupan nutrisi yang kurang baik serta memiliki persediaan zat besi dan asam folat yang tidak mencukupi. Tenaga kesehatan khususnya bidan sebaiknya meningkatkan cakupan pemberian suplemen folamil dan zat besi dengan cara meningkatkan peran serta masyarakat dan ibu hamil dalam upaya peningkatan pemanfaatan fasilitas kesehatan.
