Exciting news. Klaus Kraemer, Michael Zimmermann, Diego Moretti and I have confirmed our editorial roles on the forthcoming 2nd edition of the book Nutritional Anemia to be published by Springer!
Understanding the causes of anemia is critical to inform appropriate strategies to prevent and treat anemia, particularly to reduce the risk of anemia and the burden of disease. The strength of this book lies in its cross-disciplinary nature. Nutritional Anemia, 2nd Edition will summarize the current state of evidence on the multifactorial causes of anemia, with a specific focus on nutritional anemia.
The introductory chapters will provide an overview of the global burden of anemia prevalence, the economic implications and functional consequences of anemia, and the significance of these factors to guide policy and programs. Subsequent chapters will provide current evidence on iron and other micronutrient metabolism and homeostasis in regards to anemia, the multifactorial contributors to anemia (e.g. infection and genetics), and the interactions between nutrients that may contribute to anemia. The summarizing chapters will detail program and policy approaches to treat, prevent and reduce anemia in the global context.
This landmark publication will serve as a guide for how government, NGO, and international agencies can effectively treat, prevent and reduce anemia globally. The publication will be a comprehensive resource for those involved in global health and nutrition policy, strategy, programming, or research.
Stay tuned for more details as this publication progresses!
