Overview

Descriptive cross-sectional analysis finds significant links between anemia and antenatal care factors in Kenya.

Key Points

  • Only 5% of pregnant women were found to be anemic, indicating a relatively low prevalence.
  • Anemia prevalence was significantly associated with pregnancy trimester and iron and folic acid supplementation compliance.
  • Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS 21.0, incorporating descriptive statistics.
  • Targeted interventions and enhanced nutritional counseling are recommended to improve maternal health and reduce anemia.
