Abstract

In developing countries where are currently experiencing the double burden of diseases, not only malnourished children but also overweight and obese children are suffered from anemia. Objectives: To determine the prevalence and associated factors of anemia among malnourished and overweight and obese children aged 6-9 years old in 8 primary schools in rural areas in Hai Phong City. Methodology: A cross sectional study was conducted to screen for anthropometry on 2,866 children, analyse haemoglobin concentration of 892 children and interview parents/primary caregivers of the children took part blood examination in October 2016. Results: Prevalence of anemia among underweight, stunted, and wasted children were 29.3%, 28.3% and 29.6%, respectively. Odds for anemia of malnourished children were twice compared with non-malnutrition children (p<0.05). Prevalence of anemia among overweight and obese children was 8.8% and 7.9%, respectively. Risks for overweight and obese children being anemic were less than for normal weight children by 45% and 44% (p<0.05), respectively. No statistically significant difference was detected for the relationships between anemia and mothers’ education level and occupation, and monthly household income.
