Prevalence of anemia and iron deficiency anemia, by severity of anemia,^a among children <5 years (Panel A) and reproductive-age women (Panel B) in the Northern and Southern Provinces of Rwanda. ^aSevere anemia is defined as Hb <70 g/L and moderate anemia is defined as Hb 70 to 99 g/L for both children <5 years and women; mild anemia is defined as Hb 100 to 109 g/L for children <5 years and Hb 100 to 119 g/L for nonpregnant women. Prevalence of anemia is adjusted for altitude using CDC formulas¹⁶ and prevalence of iron deficiency anemia is further corrected for inflammation status.¹⁷ Hb indicates hemoglobin; CDC, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
