Wasting and stunting were found in 9.3% and 11.4% of children aged 0\u201359 months, respectively, while 4.2% were overweight or obese. In addition, 23.8% were anaemic and 10.2%, 9.5% and 10.6% had iron, vitamin A and vitamin D deficiencies, respectively. Sickle cell and \u03b2-thalassaemia genetic traits were present in 5.3% and 4.2% of children and 4.7% and 2.8% of women, respectively. Overall, 9.1% of Omani women were underweight and 59.2% were overweight or obese. The prevalence of anaemia was 27.8%, while iron, folate, vitamin B12 and vitamin D deficiencies affected 24.8%, 11.6%, 8.9% and 16.2%, respectively. Anaemia among both children and women and the prevalence of overweight and obesity in women are the most concerning nutritional problems in Oman.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.18295\/squmj.2020.20.02.005","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,28]],"date-time":"2020-06-28T07:16:56Z","timestamp":1593328616000},"page":"e151-164","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["National Prevalence of Micronutrient Deficiencies, Anaemia, Genetic Blood Disorders and Over- and Undernutrition in Omani Women of Reproductive Age and Preschool Children"],"prefix":"10.18295","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Nicolai","family":"Petry","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition & Health, GroundWork LLC, Zurich, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Salima A","family":"Al-Maamary","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition, Directorate General of Health Affairs, Ministry of Health, Muscat, Oman"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bradley A","family":"Woodruff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, GroundWork LLC, Zurich, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Samia","family":"Alghannami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition, Directorate General of Health Affairs, Ministry of Health, Muscat, Oman"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Saleh M","family":"Al-Shammakhi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition, Directorate General of Health Affairs, Ministry of Health, Muscat, Oman"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ibtesam K","family":"Al-Ghammari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition, Directorate General of Health Affairs, Ministry of Health, Muscat, Oman"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vilma","family":"Tyler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health & Nutrition, United Nations International Children\u2019s Emergency Fund, Amman, Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fabian","family":"Rohner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition & Health, GroundWork LLC, Zurich, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James P","family":"Wirth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition & Health, GroundWork LLC, Zurich, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"7681","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,28]]},"container-title":["Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.squ.edu.om\/index.php\/squmj\/article\/viewFile\/3663\/2875","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.squ.edu.om\/index.php\/squmj\/article\/viewFile\/3663\/2875","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,11,3]],"date-time":"2026-11-03T09:52:33Z","timestamp":1793699553000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/mjournal.squ.edu.om\/home\/vol20\/iss2\/5"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,28]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,28]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.18295\/squmj.2020.20.02.005","relation":{},"ISSN":["2075-0528"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2075-0528","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,28]]}}}
