The etiologies of anemia are multifactorial, and it is unclear what proportion of anemia is attributable to malaria in children of different ages in Malawi. We evaluated the population attributable fraction (PAF) of anemia due to malaria using multiple cross-sectional surveys in southern Malawi. We found a high prevalence of anemia, with the greatest proportion attributable to malaria among school-age children (5\u201315 years) in the rainy season (PAF = 18.8% [95% CI: 16.3, 21.0], compared with PAF = 5.2% [95% CI: 4.0, 6.2] among young children pooled across season [&lt; 5 years] and PAF = 9.7% [95% CI: 6.5, 12.4] among school-age children in the dry season). Malaria control interventions will likely lead to decreases in anemia, especially among school-age children.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.20-1120","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,5]],"date-time":"2021-01-05T07:02:05Z","timestamp":1609830125000},"page":"1013-1017","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Population Attributable Fraction of Anemia Associated with Plasmodium falciparum Infection in Children in Southern Malawi"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"104","author":[{"given":"Doris P.","family":"Yimgang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1Center for Vaccine Development and Global Health, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrea G.","family":"Buchwald","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Center for Vaccine Development and Global Health, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jenna E.","family":"Coalson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2University of Michigan School of Public Health, Ann Arbor, Michigan;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jenny A.","family":"Walldorf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Center for Vaccine Development and Global Health, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andy","family":"Bauleni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3Malaria Alert Center, University of Malawi College of Medicine, Blantyre, Malawi;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Atupele","family":"Kapito-Tembo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3Malaria Alert Center, University of Malawi College of Medicine, Blantyre, Malawi;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Don P.","family":"Mathanga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3Malaria Alert Center, University of Malawi College of Medicine, Blantyre, Malawi;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Terrie E.","family":"Taylor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"4Department of Osteopathic Medical Specialties, College of Osteopathic Medicine, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Miriam K.","family":"Laufer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Center for Vaccine Development and Global Health, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lauren M.","family":"Cohee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Center for Vaccine Development and Global Health, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2795","container-title":["The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajtmh.org\/view\/journals\/tpmd\/104\/3\/article-p1013.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajtmh.org\/downloadpdf\/journals\/tpmd\/104\/3\/article-p1013.xml","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,3]],"date-time":"2021-03-03T17:29:06Z","timestamp":1614792546000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajtmh.org\/view\/journals\/tpmd\/104\/3\/article-p1013.xml"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,3]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3"},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4269\/ajtmh.20-1120","relation":{},"ISSN":["0002-9637","1476-1645"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0002-9637","type":"print"},{"value":"1476-1645","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,3]]}}}
