For example, both Afar and Somali regions have high prevalence of anaemia, but according to the Ethiopian National Micronutrient Survey (ENMS), iron deficiency (assessed by inflammation‐adjusted serum ferritin and serum transferrin concentrations) was relatively high in Somali (25%), but not in Afar (<10%) (EPHI, 2016). This evidence concerns the gene TF and anemia (phenotype).
