Prevalence and sociodemographic determinants of anemia among ever-married women of reproductive age in Jordan: insights from the 2023 Jordan population and family health survey
Anemia remains a moderate yet concerning public health issue in Jordan, particularly among underweight women and those in northern regions. The findings emphasize the need for targeted nutritional interventions and region-specific healthcare strategies to address anemia risk. Public health programs should focus on improving dietary intake, especially among underweight women, to mitigate anemia and enhance overall women's health outcomes.
