“…But this study is lower than studies in Nepal, 11.9% [28], Dessie, 2.81% [22], and Gedeo, 7.4% [35]. Whereas this result agrees with the anaemia severity seen in other studies originating in Ethiopia: Goba, 11.69%, 2.6% [32]; Dessie, 22.96%, 15.56% [22]; Gedeo, 13.1%, 14.3% [35]; Sawla, 35%, 2.73% [34]; Hawassa, 13.5%, 14.7% [25]; and Wolaita Sodo, 25%, 8.04% [15] in mild and moderate anaemia respectively. But it also agrees with studies from China 27.2%, 10.8% [26], respectively.…”

“…Furthermore, this study indicates that mild, moderate, and severe anaemia affected 20.42%, 10.38%, and 0.7% of study subjects, respectively. This nding is in line with the severe level of anaemia in studies conducted at Goba (0.32%) [32], Sawla (0.91%) [34], China (1.2%) [26], and Hawassa (1.7%) [25]. But this study is lower than studies in Nepal, 11.9% [28], Dessie, 2.81% [22], and Gedeo, 7.4% [35].…”
