Summary

This study aims to determine the etiology of anemia among preschool children in selected regions of Ethiopia. The study is a longitudinal observational study to assess the determinant factors of anemia in two different seasons.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. What is the prevalence and etiology of anemia in the two different (Post and Pre-harvest) seasons?
2. What is the strength of the interaction between anemia and each of the determinant factors being considered?

The participant's dietary intake and anthropometric measurement have been assessed, and biological samples (Blood and Stool) were collected to determine the prevalence of anemia and the factors contributing to it.
