Comparison of percent anemia and iron deficiency in children aged 12–59 months, Jordan 2002 and 2010.

Indicator	2002		2010		P-value^a
	n	% (95% CI)	n	% (95% CI)
Anemia^b	1059	20.2 (17.3, 23.3)	902	16.6 (13.9, 19.6)	0.09
ID^c	1056	26.2 (23.1, 29.6)	940	13.7 (11.1, 16.7)	<0.001
IDA^d	1050	10.1 (8.1, 12.5)	898	4.8 (3.6, 6.5)	<0.001

Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; ID, iron deficiency; IDA, iron deficiency anemia. Note: the n’s are unweighted denominators for each subgroup. Percentages are weighted. CI, adjusted for cluster sampling design.

2002 and 2010 percentages for each indicator compared using the Wald statistic for the difference between prevalence estimates in 2002 and 2010.

Anemia, defined as Hb<110 g/l, not adjusted for altitude.

ID defined as serum ferritin <12 ng/ml.

IDA defined as low Hb (<110 g/l) with low serum ferritin (<12 ng/ml).
