Data were collected via Google Forms, and participants underwent direct anthropometric measurements and hemoglobin (Hb) testing. Anemia is classified based on Hb into four groups: no anemia (&gt;12\u2009g\/L), mild (100\u2013119.9\u2009g\/L), moderate (70\u201399.9\u2009g\/L), and severe (&lt;70\u2009g\/L).

Factors associated with increased risk of anemia included poor household (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]\u2009=\u20091.89, 95% CI: 1.34\u20132.70), use of unsanitary toilets (AOR\u2009=\u20091.58, 95% CI: 1.06\u20132.37), and consumption of milk or milk products less than or equal to 3 times per week (AOR\u2009=\u20091.62, 95% CI: 1.14\u20132.29).
