Pregnancy and anaemia are clinically linked, as evidenced by studies measuring the high prevalence of anaemia among pregnant women [1], [2] and the physiological factors during pregnancy that increase the risk of the condition [3]. Research specifically investigates the prevalence, risk factors, and outcomes of anaemia within the context of pregnancy [4], [5], [6].

measurementPregnant women in the North-Central region of Nigeria had 90% higher adjusted odds of anaemia in pregnancy (aOR: 1.90; 95% CI: 1.13–3.16) compared to pregnant women in the North-West region.
measurementThe prevalence of anaemia among pregnant women increases significantly as the trimester advances, ranging from 44.7% (95% CI: 39.1-50.4%) in the first trimester to 69.4% (95% CI: 64.5-74.0%) in the third trimester (p < 0.001).
measurementA facility-based study in two states of Nigeria found a 41% prevalence of iron deficiency among pregnant women with moderate or severe anaemia.
referenceSholeye OO, Animasahun VJ, and Shorunmu TO published a 2017 facility-based study in the Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care titled 'Anemia in pregnancy and its associated factors among primary care clients in Sagamu, Southwest, Nigeria.'
measurementThe South-East region had the highest prevalence of anaemia among pregnant women at 71.1% (95% CI: 62.3-78.7%), while the South-West region had the lowest prevalence at 55.2% (95% CI: 43.8-66.1%).
referenceEkpotu KB, Ekanem U, and Adedeji O published a 2022 study in the Nigerian Health Journal titled 'Prevalence of anaemia in pregnancy and its associated factors in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria.'
measurementThe adjusted odds of anaemia in pregnancy were more than double for women in their second and third trimesters compared to those in their first trimester (p < 0.001).
claimWithin each of the six regions in Nigeria, there was no statistically significant association between MDD-W and anaemia among pregnant women.
referenceOyewole Oyerinde O et al. published a 2023 study in the journal Inquiry titled 'Factors Affecting Anemia in Pregnancy Women in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos State, Nigeria.'
measurementThe study defined the primary outcome as the presence of anaemia, measured using a Hemocue 301 device, defined as a haemoglobin concentration of less than 11g/dl regardless of the trimester of pregnancy.
claimThe risk of anaemia increases as pregnancy progresses, likely due to the expansion of plasma volume resulting in physiological haemodilution.
referenceShi H et al. published a 2022 study in JAMA Network Open titled 'Severity of Anemia During Pregnancy and Adverse Maternal and Fetal Outcomes.'
referenceBabah OA et al. published a 2024 cross-sectional study in BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth titled 'Prevalence of and risk factors for iron deficiency among pregnant women with moderate or severe anaemia in Nigeria.'
measurementThe survey used a multistage sampling technique to select 42,000 households, from which 14,000 reproductive-age women were screened for anaemia, with pregnant women from this sub-sample included in the study.
measurementThe overall prevalence of anaemia among pregnant women in the study was 61.1% (95% CI: 58.0-64.2%), with statistically significant differences across the six regions (p = 0.038).
claimDietary diversity alone is insufficient to explain the differences in the prevalence of anaemia in pregnancy across different regions.
claimThe study analyzed several covariates including age groups (15–20, 20–29, 30–39, or 40–49 years), trimester of pregnancy, place of residence (rural/urban), religion, ethnicity, marital status, employment status, highest level of education, parity, and household wealth quintile.
claimSociodemographic factors, specifically not being married and having no formal education, were associated with higher odds of anaemia in pregnant women in Nigeria.
referenceA mixed methods study in rural plains Nepal assessed food-based strategies to address anemia in pregnancy.
claimUnmarried pregnant women in Nigeria had higher odds of anaemia compared to married women, potentially due to a lack of social and financial support from a partner.
measurementIn Nigeria, the consumption of food group 1 (grains, white tubers, plantain, and roots) was significantly lower in the South-West region, which also recorded the lowest prevalence of anaemia in pregnancy compared to other regions.
procedureThe study on anaemia in pregnancy utilized a complete case analysis approach, excluding observations with missing values in any variables, and adjusted all analyses for clustering, stratification, and sampling weights without applying imputation techniques.
