Figure 1. Prevalence of Anaemia and CED in men and women aged 18 years and over.

Panel 1A shows data for ‘not low’ income families (>1,000 rupees per month) while panel 1B shows data for low income families (≤1,000 rupees per month). Anaemia was defined according to WHO individual haemoglobin (Hb) levels: Hb <12 g/dL for non-pregnant women, Hb <11 g/dL for pregnant women, and Hb <13 g/dL for men. CED was defined in both genders as a BMI <18 kg/m². (n = 524 men and 635 women). Error bars show 95% Confidence Intervals. Black bars show data for men and white bars show data for women. ** denotes significance at p<0.001;* denotes significance at p<0.05.
