Hemoglobin increases with elevation as an adaptive response to lower blood oxygen saturation. This secondary data analysis examines the cross-sectional association between hemoglobin and elevation among school-aged children with data from nine population-based surveys. The paper calculates the hemoglobin adjustments required for each 500 meter increase in elevation and evaluates the impact of these adjustments on anemia prevalence.

This study uses data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III, 1988–1994) to examine the relationships of serum ferritin with hemoglobin and erythrocyte zinc protoporphyrin to identifying the onset of iron-deficient erythropoiesis.

This narrative review describes the effect of interventions distributing home fortification products like micronutrient powders and small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements on infant and young child feeding practices.

This study evaluates the analytical performance of the VitMin Lab enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) assays for serum ferritin, soluble transferrin receptor, C-reactive protein, and α-1-acid glycoprotein in comparison to a Roche clinical analyzer on serum samples from children 6–59 months and nonpregnant women who participated in the 2016 Nepal National Micronutrient Status survey.

This secondary analysis of data from the 2016 Nepal National Micronutrient Status Survey evaluates the factors associated with anemia, derived from altitude- and smoking-adjusted hemoglobin concentration values, among nationally representative samples of adolescents 10–19 years.

This orientation document was developed to support facilitators and trainers when they introduce the Guidelines for Integrating Nutrition into Agriculture Enterprise Mixes in Uganda to agricultural extension officers and community development workers. The guidelines are meant to direct agriculture extension and community development workers and their agents to support an agriculture enterprise mix selection process that recognizes nutrition as a key issue in development.
Anemia Toolkit

This study uses cross-sectional data from 30 household, population-based nutrition surveys of preschool children aged 6 to 59 months and nonpregnant women aged 15 to 49 years across 25 countries to evaluate the current World Health Organization hemoglobin cutoffs for defining anemia among persons who are apparently healthy, and to assess threshold validity with soluble transferrin receptor, which is a biomarker of tissue iron deficiency and physiological indicator of erythropoiesis.

To address the burden of anemia in adolescent girls in Ghana, the Girls' Iron-Folate Tablet Supplementation program was established in 2017. This study qualitatively describes the differences in program implementation among schools and across time after two years of implementation, and highlights potential factors that drive such differences.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of school-based weekly iron and folic acid supplementation program in reducing the burden of anemia and increasing hemoglobin concentrations in two regions of Ghana.
