Description
Women of reproductive age (WRA), particularly pregnant and lactating women, are disproportionately vulnerable to anaemia. The prevalence of anaemia among WRA is highest in low- and middle-income countries, with rates of 46% in South-East Asia and 39% in sub-Saharan Africa. Neurodevelopment in early childhood, depends heavily on adequate iron levels, making iron sufficiency during pregnancy and infancy critical. The study aims to assess the impact of maternal anaemia on infant neurodevelopment and brain morphology within a birth cohort in five low middle income countries.
