Indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on malaria intervention coverage, morbidity, and mortality in Africa: a geospatial modelling analysis

Daniel J. Weiss et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of disruptions to malaria control on malaria incidence and mortality in Africa. Findings show that reductions in access to effective antimalarial drug treatment and insecticide-treated net coverage could lead to increased malaria burden, potentially doubling malaria mortality in 2020.

Malaria is a cause of iron deficiency in African children

John Muthii Muriuki et al.

Summary: The study found a significant association between genetically predicted malaria risk and the prevalence of iron deficiency in African children, with a potential 49% reduction in ID if malaria episodes are halved as an intervention. Using HbAS as an instrumental variable in Mendelian randomization analyses, a 30% reduction in ID risk was observed in children living in malaria-endemic areas.

Increasing the availability and utilization of reliable data on population micronutrient (MN) status globally: the MN Date Generation Initiative

Kenneth H. Brown et al.

Summary: Micronutrient deficiencies can have negative impacts on health and functionality, especially among children and women in low- and middle-income countries. The lack of information is due to limited understanding of the importance of micronutrients by policymakers, high costs and logistical constraints involved in data collection and analysis, and inadequate professional capacity for implementing related surveys.

Anemia among Women of Reproductive Age: An Overview of Global Burden, Trends, Determinants, and Drivers of Progress in Low- and Middle-Income Countries

Aatekah Owais et al.

Summary: Little progress has been made in reducing anemia prevalence among women of reproductive age, but interventions and policies have the potential to improve overall health outcomes. The review compiled evidence on determinants and drivers of anemia reduction in low- and middle-income countries, finding that factors such as healthcare utilization, nutrition improvement, and educational attainment play significant roles in reducing anemia prevalence.

Receipt of Weekly Iron Supplementation among Indian Children, 2005-2016

Rajesh Kumar Rai et al.

Summary: The study found an increase in the receipt of weekly iron supplementation among children from 4.6% in 2005-2006 to 26% in 2015-2016, but the coverage remains unacceptably low. Factors positively associated with receiving iron supplementation included older age, living in rural areas, belonging to certain tribes, mothers with secondary education or higher, and mothers with some mass media exposure.
