Using data from the Myanmar Demographic and Health Survey 2015\u20132016, we examined risk factors for anaemia at household, maternal, and individual levels for children aged 6\u201323\u00a0months (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a01,133) and 24\u201359\u00a0months (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a02,393) separately. Survey design and sampling weights were adjusted for in multivariate regression analyses. The prevalence of anaemia was 77.2% in children aged 6\u201323\u00a0months and 50.8% in those aged 24\u201359\u00a0months. Living in geographic zones other than the hilly zone was associated with a higher odds of anaemia in both age groups (OR\u00a0=\u00a01.86\u20132.51 [95% lower limit\u00a0&gt;\u00a01.0]). Maternal anaemia predicted child anaemia in a dose\u2013response manner in both groups (6\u201323\u00a0months of age, OR\u00a0=\u00a02.01, 95% CI [1.38, 2.92; mild] and OR\u00a0=\u00a02.41, 95% CI [1.12, 5.19; moderate]; and 24\u201359\u00a0months of age, OR\u00a0=\u00a01.42, 95% CI [1.12, 1.81; mild] and OR\u00a0=\u00a02.92, 95% CI [1.91,4.46; moderate]). A maternal age of 14\u201324\u00a0years (ref: 25\u201334\u00a0years, OR\u00a0=\u00a01.67, 95% CI [1.06, 2.64]) and maternal tolerant attitude to domestic violence (OR\u00a0=\u00a01.61, 95% CI [1.13, 2.31]) predicted anaemia in children aged 6\u201323\u00a0months only. Younger child age (OR\u00a0=\u00a00.97, 95% CI [0.96, 0.98]), stunting (OR\u00a0=\u00a01.35, 95% CI [1.08, 1.69]) and using unimproved drinking water sources (OR\u00a0=\u00a01.38, 95% CI [1.10, 1.75]) were associated with anaemia in children aged 24\u201359\u00a0months.
