Abstract

This meta-analysis indicates a significant association between lower dietary diversity and higher odds of anemia in children and adolescents. These findings underscore the importance of dietary diversity as a potential factor related to anemia prevalence. Future research should focus on standardizing dietary diversity assessment methods and incorporating detailed dietary quality measurements.
