Description
Anaemia is known to have an impact on child development and mortality and is a severe public health problem in most countries in sub-Saharan Africa. We investigated the consistency between ecological and individual-level approaches to anaemia mapping by building spatial anaemia models for children aged ≤15 years using different modelling approaches. We aimed to (i) quantify the role of malnutrition*malaria*Schistosoma haematobium and soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) in anaemia endemicity; and...[Show more]
