Burden of anaemia in displaced women and children in refugee settings worldwide, update for 2017–2024: a cross-sectional study

WCA have particularly high rates of anaemia, worsening since 2020. ESA, as well as South Asia, have seen reductions in anaemia in recent years. There is wide variability within refugee settings, indicating variability in the implementation of successful interventions to reduce and prevent anaemia. Improving feeding practices and preventing and treating anaemia-causing infections may improve prevalence of anaemia.
