Micronutrients Associated With Anemia in School-age Children and Adolescents 2005–2018: Biomarkers Reflecting Inflammation and Nutritional Determinants of Anemia (BRINDA) Project
Iron deficiency and vitamin A deficiency are consistently associated with anemia in school-age children and adolescents, whereas inflammation and other micronutrients had context-dependent associations. This research underscores the importance of examining multiple micronutrients associated with anemia in the context of factors such as country, age, and sex.
