Abstract

Anaemia - a condition of low haemoglobin level in the blood is prevalent among women in Nigeria despite years of interventions. Wealth status have implications for this prevalence but there is a dearth of research examining this relationship and residential dimensions in it. The social determinant of health framework was employed to understand the rural-urban dimension of this relationship. Chi-square test and multivariate logit regression models were used to analyse data from the 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (n=13,575). We found that anaemia status is higher among rural women (66%). The odds of being anaemic is higher with decreasing wealth status irrespective of place of residence but the odds are higher for poor women in urban areas compared to poor women in rural areas after adjusting for covariates. Maternal health interventions should be more innovative in their design of programs by being sensitive of residential dimension.

尼日利亚家庭财富指数与母亲贫血状况之间的城乡差异。

贫血是一种血液中血红蛋白水平低的疾病，尽管经过多年的干预，但在尼日利亚妇女中仍很普遍。财富状况对这种普遍性有影响，但缺乏对这种关系及其居住维度的研究。健康框架的社会决定因素被用来理解这种关系的城乡维度。卡方检验和多元logit回归模型用于分析2018年尼日利亚人口与健康调查的数据（n=13575）。我们发现农村妇女的贫血状况较高（66%）。无论居住地如何，随着财富状况的下降，贫血的几率都会更高，但在调整协变量后，城市地区的贫困妇女患贫血的几率高于农村地区的贫困女性。孕产妇健康干预措施在设计方案时应更具创新性，对居住层面保持敏感。
