Trends and predictors of severe and moderate anaemia among children aged 6–59 months in India: an analysis of three rounds of National Family Health Survey (NFHS) data
The findings highlight three key areas for programmatic focus to accelerate anaemia reduction in India: [1] targeting young children (aged 6-23 months); [2] ensuring the inclusion of SC and ST communities in all relevant interventions; and [3] promoting women's autonomy. These strategies are essential for reducing the burden of anaemia across the country.
