“…While this has previously been found in Zambia [6], it is distinct from results from Tanzania, in which a relationship was found [28]. Furthermore, there was no relationship between whether or not the primary caregiver had previously heard of anaemia and the risk of their infant being anaemic; this is in contrast to a study from Indonesia [29].…”

This paper presents information on the factors associated with anaemia status and haemoglobin concentrations in infants 6-11 months old in Mbala District, Northern Province, Zambia. The information is drawn from the baseline data collection of a study involving 631 caregiver-child pairs. The data presented here includes anthropometry, malaria parasitism, concentrations of haemoglobin (Hb) and serum transferrin receptor (STfR), and information on household characteristics, infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices, and morbidity, gathered via questionnaire. It was found that 57% of the sample was anaemic (Hb < 110 g/L), 93% was iron deficient (STfR > 8.3 mg/L) and 53% had iron deficiency anaemia. Overall, 30% of the infants in the sample were stunted, 2% were wasted, and 16% were underweight, and 22%, 56% and 18% of infants were meeting minimum dietary diversity, minimum meal frequency, and minimum acceptable diet, respectively, and 28% consumed iron rich foods in the previous 24 hours. Infants who had achieved a minimum dietary diversity score (OR = 0.44; 95% CI: 0.30-0.65), who had consumed iron rich foods in the previous 24 hours (OR = 0.56; 95% CI: 0.40-0.80), or were female (OR = 0.69; 95% CI: 0.50-0.94), had significantly lower risks of being anaemic. Infants that tested positive for malaria parasitism (OR = 4.33; 95% CI: 2.16-8.70), as well as those having a fever (OR = 1.88; 95% CI: 1.36-2.59) in the previous two weeks had significantly greater odds of being anaemic. Despite these associations, whether or not a child slept under a mosquito net was not related to their risk of being anaemic. Infants in households that treated their water to make it safer to consume had average haemoglobin concentrations 3 g/L higher than those who did not (p = 0.021), but this did not translate into a significant difference in the odds of being anaemic. These results shed light on the specific causes of anaemia in the Zambian context, and illustrate the importance of improving dietary quality, specifically the intake of iron, and reducing the prevalence of diseases including malaria in order to reduce the prevalence of anaemia.

“…In addition, the negative effect was higher in lower quantiles than higher quantiles. This might be due to the fact that a literate mother has better information on nutritional education and adequate healthcare that may help to protect the child against anemia [18,33]. In addition, a literate mother may generate more income easily than an illiterate mother and all these contribute to the household well-being.…”

Childhood anemia is among the most significant health problems faced by public health departments in developing countries. This study aims at assessing the determinants and possible spatial effects associated with childhood anemia in Rwanda. The 2014/2015 Rwanda Demographic and Health Survey (RDHS) data was used. The analysis was done using the structured spatial additive quantile regression model. The findings of this study revealed that the child’s age; the duration of breastfeeding; gender of the child; the nutritional status of the child (whether underweight and/or wasting); whether the child had a fever; had a cough in the two weeks prior to the survey or not; whether the child received vitamin A supplementation in the six weeks before the survey or not; the household wealth index; literacy of the mother; mother’s anemia status; mother’s age at the birth are all significant factors associated with childhood anemia in Rwanda. Furthermore, significant structured spatial location effects on childhood anemia was found.

“…here were 41 toddlers (35.07%) toddlers suffering from anemia at Karangklesem village. Research in developing countries suggests that babies born to mothers suffering from anemia are likely to suffer from nutritional anemia, have low birth weight, be premature and increase mortality [14]. Feeding practices also affect the amount of iron intake in food that is not enough.…”

Stunting and anemia are longstanding public health challenges which adversely affects the cognitive development and physical wellbeing of children. Anemia and stunting occurring in this key period have serious implications for individuals and societies, especially in rural areas in developing country. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and associated factors of stunting and anemia among 6-24 months old children. The methode Cross-sectional survey was conducted among 134 children aged 6-24 months, which were living at Karangklesem village, in july 2019. A multistage sampling technique was used. children were randomly selected and used systematic random sampling method to select the research participants. Data on sociodemographic, anthropometric, dietary energy, blood samples for hemoglobin were collected. Binary logistic regression model was used to identify factors associated with the outcome variables (stunting and anemia) separately, and finally multivariable logistic regression model was used to identify independent variables of each outcomes. The result showed that 35,07% of children at Karangklesem were suffered from anemia and the malnutrition with prevalence rates of 31,34% for stunting, and 15,67% for stunting chronic. Anemia was significantly associated with malnutrition (stunting, OR: 1.65, 95% CI: 1.052.61. In the multivariable analyses, energy (OR = 4,18, 95% CI: 2,65-6,57) and low family income (OR = 4,08, 95% CI: 1,33-12,54) and anemia were factors significantly associated with stunting. less maternal education, parent's job not significantly increased the risk for infant anemia. This study revealed highlevel of stunting and anemia among children aged 6-24 months. Specific sociodemographic characteristics and energy were highly associated with infant anemia in rural areas of Karangklesem. Health education focusing on feeding practices and nutrition education could be a practical strategy for preventing anemia and malnutrition in young children.
