Anaemia is defined as a lower than normal level of hemoglobin in the blood. Normal levels ofrnhemoglobin are different for pregnant women, non pregnant women, men, child etc. Thernprevalence of anaemia in the world according to WHO, based on the studies conducted fromrn1993 to 2005 was 24.8 percent and it affected 1.62 billion people worldwide. It is one of thernglobal widespread public health and nutritional problems affecting both developing andrndeveloped countries, and occurs at all stages of life cycle but it is prominent in pregnant women,rnyoung and other women of reproductive age (WHO, 2008). According to the 2011 EDHS datarnthe prevalence of anaemia is 17 percent among Ethiopian women aged 15-49. The objective ofrnthis study was to identify determinants of anaemia levels among women of reproductive agern(between 15 and 49) in Ethiopia using the 2011 EDHS data. To achieve the objective of thisrnstudy descriptive statistics, chi-square test of association and partial proportional odds modelrnand related tests were used for data analysis using socio-economic, demographic and healthrnrelated variables as explanatory variables and anaemia levels of reproductive age of women asrnthe response variables. The result of the analysis revealed that the variables education level,rnregion, parity, pregnancy status, body mass index, place of residence, contraceptive methodsrnand marital status were found to be significant determinants of anaemia levels among women inrnthe reproductive age group in Ethiopia and from the result it also suggested that pregnantrnwomen were more likely to be moderate anemic and severe anemic than none pregnantrnwomen. Women who had a large number of children were found to be more likely of being mildrnanemic than those who had no child. Rural resident women were more likely of being mild,rnmoderate and severe anemic than urban resident
