“…Pregnant women's birth interval having less than two years [AOR (95% CI) = 2.87 (1.51 -5.44), P = 0.001] were 2.87 times more likely to be anemic compared to those with birth interval more than two years. This study finding is also found similar with other studies conducted in at Northern Ethiopia [4], Addis Ababa Ethiopia [32], and Arba Minch Town, Ethiopia [26]. The birth interval less than two years might be associated with a decreased iron store of women due to increase the incidence of anemia in pregnancy.…”

Since anemia is one of the most skyrocketed public health problems worldwide, an investigation has thus been conducted to assess the prevalence and associated factors of anemia among the pregnant women receiving antenatal care (ANC) at Fatima Hospital in Jashore, Bangladesh. Facility-based crosssectional study was carried out among 384 pregnant women at Fatima hospital, Bangladesh from February to April, 2019. Data were obtained using a structured questionnaire and participant's current medical record card. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with anemia and a P-value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significance. The overall prevalence of anemia among pregnant women was 58.9% (226/384). Out of 226 anemic pregnant mothers, 36.3% (82/226) were mildly anemic, 62.4% (141/226) were moderately anemic and 1.3% (3/384) was severely anemic. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that the following variables were significantly associated with anemia: Monthly family income (11,000 -20,000 Taka) [AOR (95% CI) = 0.45 (0.21 -0.98)], Family size (joint) [AOR (95% CI) = 1.59 (1.03 -2.45)], Gestational age (third trimester) [AOR (95% CI) = 2.18 (1.40 -3.40)], birth spacing < 2 years [AOR (95% CI) = 2.87 (1.51 -5.44)], Excessive blood loss during previous surgery (Yes) [AOR (95% CI) = 2.08 (1.14 -4.17)], Food group eaten 24 hours (1 -4 groups) [AOR (95% CI) = 3.43 (1.84 -6.39)], Breakfast regularly (No) [AOR (95% CI) = 3.64 (1.36 -9.75)]. The results obtained showed that the prevalence of anemia among pregnant women is severe at Fatima Hospital in Jashore, Bangladesh.

“…Pregnant women having parasitic infestation were nearly 12 times AOR= 11.886(95% CI 5.606, 25.204) more likely to be anemic than their counterparts. This finding is consistent with studies conducted in Gondar (25), Shire (12), Adigrat (24), and North Shoa (9). This might be due to the reason that parasites attach and injure upper intestinal mucosa and ingest blood.…”

Background: This study aimed to assess magnitude and factors associated with anemia among pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at St. Paul’s Hospital Millennium Medical College, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods: Institution based cross sectional study design was conducted from December 1, 2018 to January 15, 2019 on 405 pregnant women attending antenatal clinic. All pregnant women visiting the Antenatal care clinic during the study period and who fulfilled the eligibility criteria were included in the study. Secondary data was collected from clients register and personal files on hemoglobin, HIV, stool, and other variables. Descriptive statistics was used to analysis some variables by using SPSS. Logistic regression was carried out to identify factors associated with anemia in pregnancy. Adjusted odds ratio with their 95% of confidence interval and p<0.05 are consider to have significant association. Results: The magnitude of Anemia in pregnant women in this study was 19.8 %, (95% CI 16.00-23.70). HIV infection (AOR=6.12(95% CI 2.19, 17.08) parasitic infestation (AOR= 11.88 (95% CI 5.60, 25.20) and history of not taking fruit after meal during pregnancy (AOR=3.12(95% CI 1.72, 5.67) were the major determinants of anemia. Conclusion: This study showed that the magnitude of anemia among pregnant women was high especially at third trimester. Living with HIV /AIDS, parasitic infestation and no history of taking fruits after meal were the main factors. Key words: Magnitude, Anemia, Pregnant women

“…By investigating the prevalence of anaemia over 11 years, analysing its determinants and inequalities, the results of this study provide a comprehensive overview of the serious public health concern of anaemia among Ethiopian children aged 6–23 months. Previous studies investigated specific determinants, isolated geographical patterns and distinct time‐points of anaemia in Ethiopia (Abebe et al, 2018; Desalegn et al, 2014; Ejigu et al, 2018; Kebede, Gerensea, Amare, Tesfay, & Teklay, 2018; Reithinger et al, 2013). This study offers essential insights on top of these findings.…”

Anaemia in children remains a significant public health threat. Recent numbers from Ethiopia showed that more than two-thirds of children under the age of 2 years were anaemic. This study aimed to investigate the determinants of anaemia throughout Ethiopia over 11 years, making use of the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS) rounds 2005, 2011 and 2016. The EDHS made it possible to use data on blood tests and detailed questionnaires among infants and young children. Multivariable logistic regression was applied to assess the association of anaemia and different immediate and underlying determinants. A total of 7,324 children aged 6-23 months were included in the analysis, with prevalences of anaemia being 71% in 2005, 61% in 2011 and 72% in 2016. The following determinants were significantly associated with childhood anaemia throughout the entire period: children younger than 1 year, anaemic mothers and those growing up in pastoralist regions. Risk factors such as diet and infections were consistently not significantly associated with anaemia. Given the tremendous adverse health effects of anaemia in young children, urgent action is needed. Hence, this study recommends nationwide multisectoral interventions targeting pastoralist regions, maternal and child health, screening and treatment of risk groups that could reduce the prevalence of anaemia.

Developing countries, in particular, Africa and SouthEast Asia, account for over 89% of the global anaemia burden (Kassebaum, 2016; WHO, 2015). Aside from disproportionately affecting these regions, anaemia prevalence differs by age group. In particular, young children under the age of 5 years account for over 47% of the total burden (Balarajan et al., 2011), with one of the highest prevalence existing in Ethiopia (World Health Organization [WHO], 2015). The Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS) 2016 reported that 57% of the children under the age of 5 years were anaemic. Levels were highest in those aged 6-23 months, with 72% of these children having anaemia (Central Statistical Agency/Ethiopia [CSA] and ICF, 2017).
