In 2023, the prevalence of anemia among children under 5 in Japan was recorded at 17.1%. The forecasted trend from 2024 to 2028 suggests a steady increase in prevalence, with values rising incrementally by 0.1 percentage point each year, reaching 17.6% in 2028. This minor yet consistent growth implies a sustained rise in anemia cases among young children.

Future trends to watch for include:

Factors influencing dietary habits and nutritional intake among young children.
Public health initiatives aimed at reducing anemia rates through improved healthcare and nutrition programs.
Potential impact of socioeconomic conditions on children's health and nutritional status.
