# Why Are Nigerian Children Anemic? A data analytics capstone project analyzing childhood anemia in Nigeria using the 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS). ## 📄 Deliverables - 📊 Full Report (PDF) - 🖥️ Slide Deck (PPTX) ## About This Project Nearly 7 in 10 Nigerian children under 5 are anemic — but that risk is not evenly spread. This analysis identifies which household and socioeconomic factors are most strongly linked to childhood anemia, and how large the combined effect is when those factors overlap. **Key finding:** Children who are poor, rural, and born to mothers with no formal education face nearly double the anemia risk (80.4%) of children from wealthy, educated, urban households (46.6%). ## Data Source 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) — 10,182 children under age 5 with a valid hemoglobin test result. ## Tools Used - Microsoft SQL Server — data cleaning and querying - Microsoft Excel — pivot-table validation - Power BI — data visualization ## Author Emmanuel Ojima Egbunu IHIFIX Data Analytics and AI Course — Capstone Project
