Diagnosis of anaemia was established when haemoglobin was less than 12gm/dl.Data analysis was done using SPSS 16.0. Association between Categorical variables were Results: The prevalence of anaemia was 21. Risk factors associated with anaemia in the univariate analysis were presence of ova or cyst in stool (p = 0.003, OR = 2.94) and number of pads per day during menstruation (p = 0.004). Protective factors were hand washing after toileting (p = 0.021, OR = 0.311), hand washing before food intake (p = 0.026, OR = 0.5), foot wear usage (p = 0.022, OR = 0.25) and jaggery consumption (0.042).
