Abstract Objective Despite the trend of increasing prevalence of childhood anaemia in Armenia, no studies exploring its risk factors have been conducted in the country. The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence and determinants of childhood anaemia in rural Armenia. Design Blood Hb level was measured among a representative sample of children using the HemoCue Hb201+ analyser. The revealed cases with anaemia were compared with randomly selected non-anaemic controls. Mothers of cases…

What factors are associated with the increase of anemia in Ethiopian children aged 6 to 59 months between 2011 and 2016?
TLDR
Benishangul Gumuz region is the only region that was able to reduce the prevalence of all forms of anemia under-5 between 2011 and 2016, consequently other regions of Ethiopia could learn from this experience.
Maternal depressive symptoms are not associated with child anaemia: A cross-sectional population study in Peru, 2015.
TLDR
There is no statistically significant difference between the prevalence of anaemia in children of mothers with or without depressive symptoms, and more associate factors to childhood anaemia are recommended to improve primary prevention interventions.
Anaemia among mother-father-child pairs in India: examining co-existence of triple burden of anaemia in a family
TLDR
There is a need for greater policy and program attention to improving nutritional knowledge among mothers so as to tackle the triple burden of anaemia among mother-father-child pairs in a family.
A Scoping Review of the Risk Factors Associated with Anaemia among Children Under Five Years in Sub-Saharan African Countries
TLDR
A scoping review of studies that used classical statistical regression methods on nationally representative health survey data to identify the individual socioeconomic, demographic and contextual risk factors associated with developing anaemia among children under five years of age in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).
Prevalence and determinants of stunting in a conflict-ridden border region in Armenia - a cross-sectional study
TLDR
The study results highlight the significance of mother’s height, birthweight, and adequate complementary feeding to reduce stunting.
Maternal Micronutrient Supplementation and Long Term Health Impact in Children in Rural Bangladesh
TLDR
Maternal micronutrient supplementation imparted beneficial effects on child health and reduced markers of inflammation during pregnancy and early childhood, which are important risk factors for the occurrence of anemia in school-age children.
Household dietary diversity and child stunting in East Java, Indonesia.
TLDR
The results from an Indonesian context confirm the widely observed protective relationship between dietary diversity and child stunting, and population interventions should focus on promoting food groups currently lacking in maternal and child diet, including those rich in growth-promoting nutrients like dairy, meat/poultry.
Epidemiology of iron deficiency anaemia in four European countries: a population‐based study in primary care
TLDR
This study aimed to assess the incidence rate and determinants of IDA in four European countries and found that iron deficiency anaemia is a global public health concern, being responsible for about 800 000 deaths per year worldwide.
Effects of hemoglobin levels during pregnancy on adverse maternal and infant outcomes: a systematic review and meta‐analysis
TLDR
A nonlinear relationship was found between maternal Hb and adverse maternal and infant outcomes and the OR of outcomes such as PTB, small‐for‐gestational age, PNM, preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, and postpartum hemorrhage was increased by two to three times.
Foods Produced with Cowpea Flour as a Strategy to Control Iron Deficiency Anemia in Children
TLDR
The biofortification of foods, such as cowpea, produced in countries of Africa and Latin America, including Brazil, where the prevalence of anemia is high, deserves attention because can be used in the usual form of ingestion and also in the form of flour in the preparation of products for children, constituting a new and promising strategy to reduce the levels of iron deficiency anemia.

TLDR
Malaria parasitemia was strongly associated with anemia and its severity, suggesting that malaria control may be the most effective way to reduce the burden of anemia in rural Ghanaian children.
Association of Household Environment and Prevalence of Anemia Among Children Under-5 in India
TLDR
Children under 5 years of age generally stay inside their house and are more exposed to the household environment, and among these children there are multiple risk factors causing anemia along with the nutritional deficiencies.
Determinants of Anemia Among Young Children in Rural India
TLDR
Hemoglobin level was primarily associated with iron status in these Indian toddlers; however, maternal hemoglobin level, family wealth, and food insecurity were also important factors.
Prevalence of anemia in children 1 to 12 years of age. Results from a nationwide probabilistic survey in Mexico.
TLDR
Evidence of an alarming national epidemic of anemia is presented, particularly marked in children 12 to 24 months of age, which should be considered as an urgent national concern given its grave consequences on the physical and mental development of these children and on their long-term health.
Determinants of Anemia among Preschool Children in the Philippines
TLDR
The control of anemia among preschoolers can be achieved through a combination of various nutritional interventions such as micronutrient supplementation, food fortification and nutrition education, even after controlling for multivitamin supplementation.
Prevalence and risk factors of anemia in children attending daycare centers in Belo Horizonte--MG.
TLDR
The high prevalence of anemia in children attending day care centers in Belo Horizonte, especially those younger than 24 months and in children with height-for-age < - 1 z-score, demonstrates the importance of nutritional care to infants and strengthens the need for commitment of child care institutions in reducing this deficiency.
[Prevalence of anemia and feeding behavior among 2-5 year-old children in poor areas of China].
TLDR
The result of non-conditional Logistic regression analysis showed that anemia was related to some factors, including weaning time, having breakfast or not, number of people dining at home, education level of mother, the frequency of children having meals at home and family annual per capita income.
Underlying Factors Associated with Anemia in Amazonian Children: A Population-Based, Cross-Sectional Study
TLDR
Addressing morbidities and multiple nutritional deficiencies in children and mothers and improving the purchasing power of poorer families are potentially important interventions to reduce the burden of anemia.
Anaemia during pregnancy as a risk factor for iron-deficiency anaemia in infancy: a case-control study in Jordan.
TLDR
Anaemic mothers had not recovered adequate iron status at 6 months' postpartum, with implications for future pregnancy iron demands, and infants born to anaemic mothers at all stages of the year appear to be at increased risk of developing iron-deficiency anaemia.
