Introduction:
Anemia is a global public health concern. This study aimed to analyze the non-fatal health outcomes of dietary iron deficiency anemia in ESSA from 1990 to 2023.
Methods:
Data from the Global Burden of Diseases 2023 study was used to estimate the non-fatal health outcomes of dietary iron deficiency anemia.
Results:
In 2023, the age-standardized prevalence and YLD rate of dietary iron deficiency anemia were 26899 (95% UI: 23092, 31657), and 807 (95% UI: 488, 1357) in ESSA. The Prevalence and YLD rates were highest among children under five years, with females showing higher rates across nearly all age groups. From 1990 to 2023, the age-standardized rates remained unchanged throughout the region.
Conclusion:
Dietary iron deficiency anemia remains a public health problem in the ESSA region since 1990.

Disorders of Erythrocytes
Erythrocyte disorders can be broadly categorized into two main types: anemic and polycythemic conditions.
A low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood due to the loss, lower production, or destruction of erythrocytes is termed anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia, for example, occurs when bleeding from an external wound or internal ulcer reduces erythrocyte counts.
