Of the economies in the World Bank's latest release, Mali has the highest prevalence of anemia among pregnant women (%) (62.1% in 2023) and United States the lowest (10.2% in 2023). The world figure is 35.48% (2023).
What this measures
Prevalence of anemia, pregnant women, is the percentage of pregnant women whose hemoglobin level is less than 110 grams per liter at sea level.
Limitations: Data should be used with caution because surveys differ in quality, coverage, age group interviewed, and treatment of missing values across countries and over time. Data on anemia are compiled by the WHO based mainly on nationally representative surveys, which measure hemoglobin in the blood. WHO's hemoglobin thresholds are then used to determine anemia status based on age, sex, and physiological status.
Each country's latest available year is shown; countries report on different schedules, so compare years before comparing values.
