Prevalence of elevated blood lead levels and risk factors among children living in Patna, Bihar, India 2020
Childhood lead exposure remains a key health concern for officials worldwide, contributing some 600,000 new cases of intellectually disabled children annually. Most children affected by high exposure to lead live in low- and middle-income countries. The leaded gasoline phase out in India was completed in 2000. Yet, in 2020, an estimated 275 million children aged 0 to 9 years had blood lead levels (BLLs) ≥ 5 μg/dL known to adversely affect intelli…
Using Small Area Prevalence Survey Methods to Conduct Blood Lead Assessments among Children
Public health officials who wish to assess child and household-level blood lead data can quickly apply the data collection methodologies using this standardized protocol here to target resources and obtain assistance with these complex procedures. The standardized methods allow for comparisons across geographic areas and over time

Health Effects of Blood Lead Levels Lower Than 10 Mg/Dl in Children
The thoughtful commentary provided by Bernard1 is a welcome addition to deliberations about whether the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) should respond to recent reports of adverse effects of blood lead levels (BLLs) lower than 10 μg/dL in children by lowering the BLL at which individual intervention is recommended.2,3 The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention is reviewing the scientific evidence of the h…
Social Disparities in Housing and Related Pediatric Injury
Objectives. We conducted an ecologic analysis to determine whether housing characteristics mediate the associations between concentration of poverty and pediatric injury and between concentration of racial minorities and pediatric injury and whether the association between housing conditions and pediatric injury is independent of other risks. Methods. We created a hierarchical data set by linking individual-level data for pediatric injury with ce…
Iron deficiency in Massachusetts communities
OBJECTIVES: This study examined the association between community rates of iron deficiency in children and sociodemographic characteristics of Massachusetts communities. METHODS: Between April 1990 and March 1991, 238 273 Mssachusetts children 6 through 59 months of age were screened; iron deficiency was defined as an erythrocyte protopophyrin concentration of 0.62 micromol/L or higher and a blood lead level of less than 1.2 micromol/L. Sociodemo…
