Abstract:Objective The study aims to determine the prevalence of anemia and explore risk factors of anemia among children aged 6~23 months in poor rural areas in China.Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in six poverty-stricken counties in Shanxi and Guizhou provinces. Household interviews were completed on 1 475 children aged 6-23 months and their caregivers. Capillary blood samples were collected and hemoglobin concentration were determined using automated blood analyzer. Multivariate unconditional logistic regression model was used to explore the risk factors of anemia.Results Overall, 55.4% of children suffered from anemia. The prevalence of mild anemia, moderate anemia, and severe anemia were 26.4%, 27.9% and 1.2%, respectively. Compared with children aged 6~11 months, children aged 18~23 months showed sharply reduced risk of anemia (odds ratios, OR=0.44, 95% confidence interval, 95% CI:0.30~0.64). Children who were breastfed showed increased risk of anemia (OR=1.61, 95% CI:1.19~2.18). Supplementation of vitamins and minerals showed protective effect of anemia (OR=0.70, 95%CI:0.54~0.92).Conclusion High prevalence of anemia among children aged 6~23 months highlighting the need for scaling up a more comprehensive interventions package to combat anemia in rural China.
