Prevalence and factors associated with anemia among children under five years of age in Rombo district, Kilimanjaro region, Northern Tanzania [version 1; peer review: 2 approved with reservations]
Background: Anemia is a severe public health problem affecting more than half of children under five years of age in low-, middle- and high-income countries. We aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with anemia among children under five years of age in northern Tanzania. Methods:...

| description | Background: Anemia is a severe public health problem affecting more than half of children under five years of age in low-, middle- and high-income countries. We aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with anemia among children under five years of age in northern Tanzania.
Methods: This was a community-based cross-sectional study conducted in Rombo district, Kilimanjaro region, northern Tanzania in April 2016. Multistage sampling technique was used to select a total of 602 consenting mothers and their children aged 6-59 months and interviewed using a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Stata version 15.1. We used generalized linear models (binomial family and logit link function) with robust variance estimator to determine factors associated with anemia.
Results: Prevalence of anemia was 37.9%, and it was significantly higher among children aged 6-23 months (48.3%) compared to those aged 24-59 months (28.5%). There were no significant differences in anemia prevalence by sex of the child. Adjusted for other factors, children aged 6-23 months had over two times higher odds of being anemic (OR=2.44, 95% CI 1.71, 3.49, p |

No significant association was found between maternal and nutritional characteristics with anemia among children in this study.
Conclusion: Prevalence of anemia was lower than the national and regional prevalence but it still constitutes a significant public health problem, especially among children aged 6-23 months. Interventions such as iron supplementation, food fortification and dietary diversification and management of childhood illnesses in this setting should be targeted towards mothers and children less than two years.</description><identifier>ISSN: 2046-1402</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 2046-1402</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.12688/f1000research.24707.1</identifier><identifier>PMID: 36819212</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>England: Faculty of 1000 Ltd</publisher><subject>Age ; Anemia ; Children ; Children & youth ; Data collection ; Dietary supplements ; Health facilities ; Health surveys ; Hemoglobin ; Households ; Infections ; Iron ; Low income groups ; Malaria ; Maternal & child health ; Meals ; Mothers ; Population ; Public health ; Questionnaires ; Rural areas ; Sample size ; Standard deviation ; Variables</subject><ispartof>F1000 research, 2020, Vol.9, p.1102</ispartof><rights>Copyright: © 2020 Mboya IB et al.</rights><rights>Copyright: © 2020 Mboya IB et al.
