The Prevalence of Malaysian Children Aged ≥ 6 to ≤ 36 Months at Risk of Anaemia

Percentage of Malaysian Children aged ≥ 6 to ≤ 36 months with SpHb (g/dL) 12 g/dL vs ≥12 g/dL measured using Masimo Rad-67.

The main purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of Malaysian children aged ≥ 6
 to ≤ 36 months at risk of anaemia by measuring Total Haemoglobin (SpHb) using a non-invasive
 haemoglobin assessment. Eligible subjects, and their parent(s) / legally acceptable
 representative(s) where applicable, who fulfil all the inclusion and none of the exclusion
 criteria will be enrolled into the study. Parameters will be recorded during the subjects
 visit at the MCHC using a self-administered 24-hour Diet Recall. Demographics and subject /
 family characteristics will be recorded at this visit by using questionnaire built into Iron
 Strong app which act as a data collection tool.For subjects with haemoglobin level 12 g/dL,
 the subject will be considered at risk of anaemia and as a standard operating procedure,
 the child will be referred to HCPs for further clinical assessment.
