Decomposition analysis reveals prevalence of anaemia in lower wealth quintiles, suggesting targeted interventions may improve maternal health outcomes in India.
Maternal populations from lower wealth quintiles were disproportionately affected by anaemia, with state-wise variations in India. Reducing anaemia prevalence requires integrated efforts, including improving girls' education, providing family planning services, and promoting timely pregnancies. Determinants like rural residence and caste, while unmodifiable, underscore the need for specially focused interventions to address these disparities. These findings emphasise the significance of focused interventions in mitigating socio-economic divides and enhancing maternal health outcomes in India.
