measurementThe prevalence of anaemia in pregnancy in Nigeria is 61.1%, with regional variations ranging from 55.2% in the South-West to 71.1% in the South-East region (p = 0.038).
measurementIn Nigeria, women with tertiary education had 64% lower odds of anaemia in pregnancy (p = 0.002) compared to women with no formal education, and not being married increased the odds of anaemia compared to being married or cohabiting.
measurementCompared to the North-West region of Nigeria, the prevalence of anaemia in pregnancy was significantly higher in the North Central region (aOR: 1.90; 95% CI: 1.14–3.16).
measurementThe prevalence of anaemia in pregnancy in Nigeria (61%) exceeds global WHO-reported prevalences for South-East Asia (48%) and Sub-Saharan Africa (46%).
measurementThe prevalence of anaemia in pregnancy in Nigeria is 61%, with statistically significant variation across regions.
measurementFacility-based studies in Nigeria have indicated that the prevalence of anaemia in pregnancy varies significantly by region, ranging from 32.5% in Ogun state (South-West) to 61.1% in Akwa Ibom state (South-South).
claimA study using nationally representative data in Nigeria found no evidence of effect modification between region and MDD-W regarding anaemia in pregnancy (p = 0.154) based on a postestimation comparison of models with and without an interaction term.
measurementThe prevalence of anaemia in pregnancy in Nigeria (61%) is higher than in India (50%) and comparable to Mali (59%).
measurementThe prevalence of anaemia in pregnancy is high in Nigeria and varies across regions, with the highest prevalence observed in the South-East region.
claimThe study is population-based and uses a sample representative of Nigeria to provide insight into how Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women (MDD-W) affects the prevalence of anaemia in pregnancy.
claimFactors such as food security (availability and accessibility), seasonality of food availability, genetic haemoglobin disorders, and maternal and community characteristics likely explain the disparity in the prevalence of anaemia in pregnancy across regions in Nigeria.
claimThe researchers concluded that region is not an effect modifier of the association between minimum dietary diversity for women (MDD-W) and anaemia in pregnancy, and that dietary diversity alone does not explain the differences in anaemia prevalence across regions in Nigeria.
