Abstract：
Low- and lower-middle-income countries bear the greatest burden of anemia, particularly those living in rural settings such as an indigenous community. The objective of this systematic review was to determine the prevalence of anemia and its determinants among the Orang Asli children in Peninsular Malaysia. A web-based search of PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Medline, and ProQuest from January 2000 to June 2022, using specified search/MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) terms and keywords, was conducted. The search identified studies reported the prevalence of anemia among the children of Orang Asli and its causes. Eight studies were included in the final analysis. The prevalence of anemia among the Orang Asli children was high (61.6%). Most research has focused primarily on iron-deficiency anemia and soil-transmitted helminth infections. Other causes include female gender, mothers with low education levels, and low household incomes. Despite being a public health concern, this study found no studies associating Orang Asli children with hereditary anemia and malaria, which is a limitation. In conclusion, the Orang Asli children are more likely to have anemia compared with the general Malaysian population. To overcome this, a comprehensive examination of the determinants of anemia in this community is required. Thus, interventions can be personalized.
摘要：
低收入和中低收入国家的贫血负担最大，特别是那些生活在农村环境中的人，如土著社区。本系统评价的目的是认识马来西亚半岛OrangAsli儿童贫血的患病率及其决定因素。基于Web的PubMed搜索，WebofScience,Scopus,Medline,和ProQuest从2000年1月到2022年6月，使用指定的搜索/MeSH（医学主题词）术语和关键字，进行了。搜索确定的研究报告了OrangAsli儿童中贫血的患病率及其原因。最终分析中包括8项研究。OrangAsli儿童的贫血患病率很高（61.6％）。大多数研究主要集中在缺铁性贫血和土壤传播的蠕虫感染上。其他原因包括女性，受教育程度低的母亲，家庭收入低。尽管是公共卫生问题，这项研究没有发现将OrangAsli儿童与遗传性贫血和疟疾相关联的研究，这是一个限制。总之,与一般马来西亚人口相比，OrangAsli儿童更容易患贫血。为了克服这一点，需要对该社区贫血的决定因素进行全面检查。因此，干预措施可以是个性化的。
