Iron deficiency anaemia is the most common micronutrient deficiency in the world. The most vulnerable groups are children, adolescents and pregnant women. Several studies carried out in Senegal have confirmed a high prevalence of anaemia among these vulnerable groups. However, there are few data on the prevalence of anaemia in students whose diet quality is often decried. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of iron deficiency anaemia among resident students at the Gaston Berger campus in Saint-Louis and the associated factors. The study took place on the campus of the Gaston Berger University of Saint-Louis (CROUS) and the Centre for Research and patient ambulatory Management of Sickle Cell Disease (CERPAD). This was a cross-sectional descriptive epidemiological survey with an analytical aim which lasted from June 3 to July 2, 2021. A questionnaire was administered to collect epidemiological, health and biomedical data. The haemoglobin level made it possible to define and classify the severity of anaemia. Binary logistic regression was used to assess the association between these factors and anaemia. A significance threshold was set from a p < 0.05. Due to the impact of anaemia on physical growth, cognitive development, reproduction and physical work capacity, awareness and screening strategies should be encouraged to ensure early detection and implementation of a supplementation program.
