Predicted prevalence of any, moderate or worse and severe anaemia by malaria status. In-sample predicted prevalence of any anaemia (Hb < 110 g/L), moderate or worse anaemia (Hb < 90 g/L) and severe anaemia (Hb < 70 g/L) by malaria status for all malaria positive cases (a), acute cases (b) and sub-microscopic cases (c). Eliminating malaria from the study population would substantially reduce the total prevalence of malaria, moderate anaemia and almost eliminate severe anaemia. The stratification by malaria status affected the results only marginally. Red shades (lighter colours, left bars) indicate malaria negative cases and blue shades (darker colours, right bars) malaria positive cases
