- Anemia burden among tribal and non-tribal women and children at the national and sub-national level and their determinants in India
Abstract Content (not more than 300 word, should include: Introduction, Objective, Methodology, critical findings & Conclusion):
Objective:
Our study investigates anaemia prevalence in tribal and non-tribal women and children in India, examining determinants influencing anaemia within the tribal community. Additionally, we explored the relationship between maternal anaemia and the risk of anaemia observed in their children.
Methods:
Our analysis drew upon data from the fifth National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5) conducted between 2019 and 2021. The study focused on tribal women aged (15-49) and children aged (6-59) months from different Indian states. Anaemia prevalence was estimated through bivariate descriptive analysis. We employed the Chi-Square test to examine associations between predictor variables and anaemia status. In addition, a multiple regression analysis was conducted to explore the likelihood of maternal anaemia impacting the risk of anaemia in children.
Results:
Study revealed 57% of women and 67% of children are anaemic in India. There is a significant gap in the prevalence of any-anaemia among women tribal [64%: (3% severe, 35% moderate, 26% mild)] and non-tribal (56%). Similarly, tribal children [72%: (2% severe, 41% moderate, 29% mild)] compared to non-tribal (66%) were any-anaemic. There were significant variations across the state level. Regression analysis showed that tribal children were more likely to have anaemia among those whose mothers had severe anaemia by (AOR: 2.96) times, moderate by 2, and 1.64 times among mild anaemic mothers.
Conclusion:
The study evident that there is a compelling need for significant enhancements in the general health status, focusing on the nutritional well-being of women and children, primarily in tribal population at the national and state levels in India. To mitigate anaemia, it is recommended to establish anaemia monitoring and intervention initiatives designed to address the unique needs of specific target groups and population at a high risk of anaemia.
