Recent studies have shown an association with hematopoiesis and iron metabolism. In Peru, 3-quarters of a million children have anemia. We aimed to identify an association between Vitamin A supplementation (VAS) and anemia in children under 5\u2009years of age. A cross-sectional secondary analytical study from the Peruvian Demographic Survey and Family Health (DHS) was conducted. The primary outcome, anemia, was measured through hemoglobin concentration and adjusted by altitude. The DHS interviewer ensured the participant\u2019s VAS in the last 6\u2009months through a structural healthcare card. The association was statistically significant using crude regression but disappeared when adjusted per socioeconomic level and gender. VAS was not significantly associated with a lower prevalence of anemia. Further studies are required to help identify the association between VAS and anemia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/2333794x211048385","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,30]],"date-time":"2021-09-30T08:28:54Z","timestamp":1632990534000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Is Vitamin A Supplementation Associated With Anemia in Children Under 5\u2009Years of Age in Peru: Secondary Analysis of the \u201cDemographic Health Survey\u201d 2015-2018?"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Isabella","family":"Ribaudo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas, Lima, Per\u00fa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8260-7647","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Camila B.","family":"Arambur\u00fa-Duclos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas, Lima, Per\u00fa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9986-7442","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dora","family":"Blitchtein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas, Lima, Per\u00fa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-2333794X211048385","unstructured":"World Health Organization.
