The Role of Vitamins in the Prevention and Control of Anaemia
Publication Date:
Anemia
This systematic review synthesizes the available evidence from vitamin supplementation trials that reported changes in anemia or iron status. The authors conclude that the public health impact of vitamin supplementation for anemia control and the complex interactions involving multiple vitamins in hematopoiesis are insufficiently understood, and highlight the need for further research.

Anaemia in Low-Income and Middle-Income Countries
Publication Date:
Anemia
This article reviews the epidemiology, clinical assessment, pathophysiology, and consequences of anemia in low- and middle-income countries. The review shows a disproportionate concentration of anemia in low socioeconomic groups, and a strong association between maternal and child anemia.

Anaemia, Prenatal Iron Use, and Risk of Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Publication Date:
Anemia
This systematic review synthesizes evidence from 48 randomized trials of prenatal iron use as well as 44 prospective cohort studies of prenatal anemia. The findings suggest a substantial improvement in birthweight with daily prenatal iron use and indicate that an improvement in the prenatal mean hemoglobin concentration linearly increased birthweight.

Global Nutrition Targets 2025: Anaemia Policy Brief
Publication Date:
Anemia
This policy brief is aimed at the second of the six global nutrition targets for 2025: a 50 percent reduction of anemia in women of reproductive age. The brief aims to increase attention to, investment in, and action for a set of cost-effective interventions and policies that can help member states and their partners in reducing rates of anemia among women of reproductive age.
