Magalhães, Ricardo J. Soares; Langa, António; Pedro, João Mário; Sousa-Figueiredo, José Carlos; Clements, Archie C. A.; Nery, Susana VazAnaemia is known to have an impact on child development and mortality and is a severe public health problem in most countries in sub-Saharan Africa. We investigated the consistency between ecological and individual-level approaches to anaemia mapping by building spatial anaemia models for children aged ≤15 years using different modelling approaches. We aimed to (i) quantify the role of malnutrition, malaria, Sc...

Magalhães, Ricardo J.; Langa, António; Pedro, João Mário; Sousa-Figueiredo, J. C.; Clements, A. C.; Nery, S. V.Anaemia has a significant impact on child development and mortality and is a severe public health problem in most countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Nutritional and infectious causes of anaemia are geographically variable and anaemia maps based on information on the major aetiologies of anaemia are important for identifying communities most in need and the relative contribution of major causes. We investigated th...
