The Impact of Nutrition-Specific and Nutrition-Sensitive Interventions on Hemoglobin Concentrations and Anemia: A Meta-review of Systematic Reviews.

ABSTRACT: Anemia is a multifactorial condition arising from inadequate nutrition, infection, chronic disease, and genetic-related etiologies. Our aim was to assess the impact of nutrition-sensitive and nutrition-specific interventions on hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations and anemia to inform the prioritization and scale-up of interventions to address the multiple causes of anemia. We performed a meta-review synthesis of information by searching multiple databases for reviews published between 1990 and 2017 and used standard methods for conducting a meta-review of reviews, including double independent screening, extraction, and quality assessment. Quantitative pooling and narrative syntheses were used to summarize information. Hb concentration and anemia outcomes were pooled in specific population group
