Abstract:
The most prevalent haematological condition affecting children is anaemia. The anaemia prevalence is highest in poorer nations. The goal of the current study was to determine the prevalence of childhood anaemia in Bhagalpur. 750 kids from public and private schools participated in this prospective research of schoolchildren from January 2022 to June 2022. Anaemia was more common in females, vegetarians, and kids from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. In conclusion, anaemia continues to be a serious health issue in our nation. Children in schools aged 6 to 12 still have a serious public health issue with childhood anaemia.
