“…The physical and socio-cultural characteristics of a woman’s childhood place of residence have an influence on her current health and nutrition behaviours during adulthood ( 34 ) . Moreover, beliefs and attitudes developed while women are living in urban or rural areas during childhood may potentially impact parenting practices during adulthood ( 35 ) .…”

Objective: Anaemia currently affects 40-80 % of women in Africa. While risk factors for anaemia have been intensively studied, research has rarely compared risk factors between mild anaemia and moderate/severe anaemia. Also, the contribution of neighbourhood to the prevalence of anaemia has been rarely studied. The aim of the present study was to identify and compare individual and contextual factors associated with various levels of anaemia among women. Design: A multilevel analysis of data from the 2001 Mali Demographic and Health Survey (n 3763) was carried out. Outcomes variables were mild anaemia, moderate-to-severe anaemia and any anaemia. Multilevel regression analyses were performed for each outcome. Setting: Mali, West Africa. Subjects: Women (n 3763) aged 15 to 49 years, including 512 pregnant women. Results: Among the eleven potential risk factors included in the models, two factors were associated with mild anaemia (BMI and education), three with any anaemia (pregnancy, BMI and education) and six with moderate-to-severe anaemia (pregnancy, BMI, education, wealth, childhood residency and region of residence). Clustering of anaemia within communities was 20 % for moderateto-severe anaemia and 13 % for mild anaemia. Despite significant differences in the prevalence of anaemia across regions in Mali, no difference between regions in the risk of mild anaemia was found and only the region of Gao showed a significantly higher risk of moderate-to-severe anaemia. Conclusions: The findings indicate that sociodemographic risk factors as well as clustering of anaemia varies with the severity of anaemia. Specific studies are needed to identify risk factors of mild anaemia as well as its consequences, as mild anaemia accounts for 20-40 % of total prevalence of anaemia in Africa.

“…(54) Studies indicate that work related variables such as flexibility, number of hours, types of environment and levels of stress are more predictive of breastfeeding and child care practices than employment status. (55) The limited existing data on the effects of maternal education on breast-feeding practices are conflicting. Mothers with the lowest and the highest levels of education engage in long-term breast-feeding in Israel.…”

“…favorise surtout le flou dans les études qui leur sont consacrées, laminant la diversité des statuts individuels, des objectifs personnels et limitant leur rôle à la réduction de la pauvreté monétaire. Les études récentes soulignent combien les stratégies d'autofinancement des femmes sont concomitantes de leur rôle accru dans la prise en charge, au moins partielle, des besoins alimentaires et sanitaires de leur famille et, en particulier, des enfants (De Plaen, 2001 ;De Plaen et Geneau, 2000 ;Uyanga, 1980). La multiplication des activités personnelles rémunératrices des femmes, associée à leur responsabilité dans l'organisation domestique des dépenses sanitaires, semble aller dans le sens des objectifs de recouvrement des soins énoncés en 1987 lors de la déclaration de Bamako.…”

Depuis les années quatre-vingt, les femmes sont au coeur des projets de développement rural en Afrique subsaharienne. Elles apparaissent souvent majoritaires parmi les acteurs de ce que les Documents stratégiques de réduction de la pauvreté désignent laconiquement sous le sigle d'AGR (activités génératrices de revenus). Cette reconnaissance accompagne celle de leur rôle dans la prise en charge des besoins de santé domestiques. Pourtant, les femmes sont encore citées pour leur faible recours aux centres de soins primaires. Plus que les hommes, elles fréquentent d'abord les services de soins coutumiers ou informels. Mise en regard de leur autonomie financière accrue par leurs activités, cette réalité remet en cause l'explication de leur accès réduit aux centres de soins en simples termes de coûts.
