    A study of 279 pregnant women in Jima, Ethiopia found that 41.9% of women were anemic. The prevalence was higher in rural (56.8%) versus urban (35.9%) women. Most anemic women (74.3%) had moderate anemia. Risk factors for anemia included illiteracy, not using family planning, higher parity, later pregnancy trimester, shorter birth interval, and parasitic infections. The findings showed a need for improved prenatal care, family planning, and iron supplementation.
