Ladakh has the highest percentage of anaemic children among UTs at 92.5%, NFHS-5 reveals.

The prevalence of anaemia among children and women has increased in most states and Union Territories (UTs) in the last five years. According to the latest findings of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5),  67.1% of children aged 6-59 months were anaemic in 2021 against 58.6% in 2016.

According to the survey, released by the Union ministry of health and family welfare on Wednesday, the number of anaemic children has spiked in as many as 28 states and UTs (Union territories). As many as 69.2% of children and 49.4% of women were found to be anaemic in the national capital. 

Among states, Assam had the biggest spike in anaemic children with the number of cases increasing to 68.4% from 35.7% in 2016. Assam was followed by Mizoram (an increase of 27.3 percentage points), Chhattisgarh (25.6), Odisha (19.6), Puducherry (19.1), Manipur and Jammu and Kashmir (18.9). 

Ladakh has the highest percentage of anaemic children among UTs at 92.5%, possibly due to the short supply of fresh vegetables and fruits during the long winters, according to health officials. Other states and UTs with more than one-third anaemic children are Gujarat (79.7%), Dadar and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu (75.8%), Madhya Pradesh (72.7%), Jammu & Kashmir (72.7%), Rajasthan (71.5%),  Punjab (71.1%), Haryana (70.4%), Telangana (70%), Bihar (69.4%), Assam (68.4%) West Bengal (69%), Maharashtra (68.9%) and Uttar Pradesh (66.4%). In all, 14 states and UTs have more than two-third of their children anaemic.
