Factors Associated With Anemia in Xavante Indigenous Children From Central Brazil
According to their hemoglobin levels, anemia was more prevalent in children under 2 years of age, as well as in children living in the most populous households and the newest village groups, than in the other groups. These findings point to the existence of socioeconomic, demographic, historical, and biological determinants of the prevalence of anemia. In addition, this study showed that Indigenous peoples in Brazil experience health inequities.
