“…is study showed that the overall prevalence of anemia among under-five children was 41.7% and the mild, moderate, and severe anemia were 6.6%, 19%, and 16.1%, respectively. e prevalence of anemia in this study is comparable with findings in Bangladesh (40.9%) conducted in 2010 [15], North Kazakhstan (40.0%) [16], and national prevalence EDHS 2011 (44%) [6]. However, the finding is lower than that of estimated global anemia prevalence (47.4%) [1] and those reported from Ghana (78.4%) in 2014 [17], Cape Verde (51.8%) in 2014 [18], northern part of Ethiopia (50.3%) [19], Nigeria (70.5%) in 2012 [20], Tanzania (77.2%) in 2015 [21], and Kenya (71.8%) in 2005 [11].…”

Background. Anemia is a widespread public health problem associated with increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Infants, under-5-year-old children, and pregnant women have greater susceptibility to anemia. The magnitude and associated risk factors for anemia vary in different settings. The study aimed to assess the magnitude, severity, and associated factors of anemia at Hawassa University Teaching and Referral hospital, Hawassa, southern Ethiopia. Methods. In a hospital-based cross-sectional study, a total of 422 under-five children were included. Sociodemographic data and other predisposing factors were collected by structured questionnaire. Venous blood samples were collected and analyzed for hemoglobin determination using a Cell-Dyn 1800 automated analyzer. Stool samples were collected and processed using direct wet mount and formol-ether concentration method to detect intestinal parasites. Data were entered and analyzed using SPSS version 20 statistical packages. Binary and multiple logistic regressions were computed to assess factors associated with anemia. p value less than 0.05 was taken as statistically significant. Result. The overall prevalence of anemia was found to be 41.7%. The mean hemoglobin level was 10.59 g/dl. Anemia was of mild, moderate, and severe type in 6.6%, 19%, and 16.1% of the children, respectively. Children in the age group 6–23 months (AOR = 2.04 (95% CI: 1.13, 3.69)), and mothers having no formal education (AOR = 1.73 (95% CI: 0.99, 3.02)) were identified as associated factors for anemia. Conclusion. The prevalence of anemia among the study subjects was 41.7% indicative of the fact that anemia is an important public health problem. It was associated with the child’s age, residence, mother’s education level, and intestinal parasite (Ascaris lumbricoides). It clearly indicates that there should be well integrated public health interventions to improve the health status that needs to be prioritized to prevent anemia among children under five years of age.

“…Wasting, stunting and underweight were significantly associated with anemia in preschool aged children. This association was supported by a studies conducted in Kilte Awlalo zone Northern Ethiopia [35], Tigray Province [5], Nigeria [32], United Republic of Tanzania [36] and Pakistan [37]. Children who were wasted, stunted, underweight and whose MUAC measurement below 13 cm were 3.5, 3.8, 2.12 and 5.6 times more likely to have anemia compared to children with who were not undernourished, respectively.…”

Background In Ethiopian, the prevalence of anemia among preschool aged children widely varied across regions. Since anemia adversely affects the cognitive and physical development of the children, it is important to determine its burden for implementing appropriate measurements. Therefore, this study was aimed at determining the anemia prevalence and associated factors among preschool aged children. Method A community based cross-sectional study was conducted on a total of 432 preschool children in Menz Gera Midir district from January to May, 2017. A multi stage sampling procedure was applied to select the target groups. Hemocue analyzer for Haemoglobin determination; anthropometric measurements for assessment nutritional status, structured questionnaires for socio-demographic and economic variables were used for data collection. The morphological appearance of red blood cell was assessed microscopically to determine type of anemia. Descriptive statistics were employed to summarize the data and binary logistic regression was used for inferential statistics. A p value less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Result The overall prevalence of anemia was 123 (28.5%); of which 38 (30.9%) and 85 (69.1%) were moderate and mild, respectively. Morphologically about 50.4, 37.4 and 12.2% were microcytic hypochromic, normocytic normochromic and macrocytic anemias, respectively. Child age 6-11 months (COR: 5.67, 95% CI: 2.2, 14.86), child age 12–23 months (COR: 5.8, 95% CI: 2.3, 14.7), wasting (COR: 3.5, 95% CI: 1.2, 9.8), stunting (COR: 3.8, 95% CI: 1.92, 7.77), underweight (COR: 2.12, 95% CI: 1.07, 4.38), MUAC measurement below 13 cm (COR: 5.6, 95% CI: 2.83, 11.15), household headed by female (COR: 3.24, 95% CI: 1.1, 9.63), maternal anemia (COR: 4, 95% CI: 2.2, 7.23) and household food insecurity (COR: 2.12, 95% CI: 1.09, 4.12) were significantly associated with anemia. Conclusion The prevalence of anemia among the children was found to be high and associated with child age group, child nutritional status, house hold headed by female, maternal anemia and household food insecurity. Further studies on nutritional anemia, community based nutritional education, iron supplementation to children at risk should be promoted.

We have studied the prevalence and socio-demographic determinants of anemia and also have investigated associations between anemia and metabolic syndrome in Turkestan, Southern Kazakhstan region, Kazakhstan. Southern Kazakhstan is one of the regions with the lowest level of incomes. The sample consisted of 839 patients from the polyclinic of the International Kazakh-Turkish University. The overall prevalence of anemia was 26.4 %. The highest prevalence of anemia was observed among women (30.4 %) and in the age group 30-39 years (39,0 %). A multiple logistic regression was performed to study independent associations between the studied factors and development of anemia with and without adjustment to other socio-demographic factors. The odds of anemia in persons from the oldest age category is 5 times lower than in the younger age categories. Odds of anemia in men by 2.4 times less compared to women. A multiple linear regression was used to study associations between hemoglobin levels and socio-demographic factors. There were statistically significant relationship between hemoglobin levels and age (β = 5.85; 95 % CI: 1.63; 10.06), between hemoglobin level and gender (β = 21.50; 95 % CI: 19.12 ; 23.89). Also, was found statistically significant interaction between the presence of metabolic syndrome and the level of hemoglobin after adjustment for all socio-demographic factors ((β = 3.12; 95 % CI: 0.53; 1.32).
