Living in geographic zones other than the hilly zone was associated with a higher odds of anaemia in both age groups (OR = 1.86–2.51 ). The prevalence of anaemia was 77.2% in children aged 6–23 months and 50.8% in those aged 24–59 months. Survey design and sampling weights were adjusted for in multivariate regression analyses. Using data from the Myanmar Demographic and Health Survey 2015–2016, we examined risk factors for anaemia at household, maternal, and individual levels for children aged 6–23 months (n = 1,133) and 24–59 months (n = 2,393) separately. Anaemia is prevalent among preschool-aged children in Myanmar, but few epidemiological studies of anaemia at the national level were reported.
