Trends in severe anemia (hemoglobin [Hb] < 8 g/dL) prevalence by age and malaria risk areas, Malawi, 2004 and 2010. (A) Prevalence of severe anemia (Hb < 8 g/dL) was measured in children 6–59 months of age (total). This was also disaggregated into children 6–23 months of age and 24–59 months of age. (B) Severe anemia prevalence in children 6–23 months of age was further disaggregated by malaria transmission risk zones. (See Materials and Methods for a description of the risk stratification). Data are from the 2004 and 2010 Demographic and Health Surveys.
