Anemia e níveis de hemoglobina em crianças indígenas Xavante, Brasil Central

“…Comparing the prevalence of anemia among Indigenous children < 5 years old nationally (51.2%) and in the Central-West region (51.5%) with that documented in the present study (62.2%), the Xavante present a less favorable scenario 6 . However, epidemiological studies of anemia among Indigenous children < 5 years old in communities in the Southeast and North regions of the country similarly showed prevalence rates higher than 60% 3,5 . Anemia prevalence rates among Xavante children are considerably higher when compared with the national non-Indigenous population, reaching a three-fold difference 2 .…”

“…Studies about the epidemiology of anemia in Indigenous children in Brazil have been conducted in recent decades, revealing, in many cases, prevalences above 60-70% [3][4][5] . According to the First National Survey of Health and Nutrition of Indigenous Peoples, performed in 2008 and 2009, more than half (51.4%) of Indigenous children under 5 years of age in the country had anemia, with the highest prevalence for those under 2 years of age (74.2%) 6 .…”

Anemia em crianças e mulheres indígenas no Brasil: revisão sistemática

“…Coimbra Jr. e Santos (1991) 18(a) Gugelmin (1998) 14 Serafim (1997) 21 (d) Leite ( Pereira (2011) 13 Souza (2011) 16 Fávaro (2011) 11 Pereira et al (2012) 26 Barreto et al (2014) Gugelmin (1998) 11 Serafim (1997) 21(d) Leite (1998) Barreto et al (2014) Orellana et al 19 não encontraram associação entre as variáveis investigadas e a presença de anemia em crianças Suruí, de Rondônia e Mato Grosso. Leite 10 observou, para as crianças Xavantes menores de 10 anos, a tendência de crescimento da concentração de hemoglobina com o aumento da idade, além de uma associação estatisticamente significante entre as dosagens desta com os valores de z-escore do índice antropomé-trico massa corporal-para-estatura.…”

Physical growth curves of indigenous Xavante children in Central Brazil: results from a longitudinal study (2009–2012)

“…Case studies of specific ethnic groups in Brazil have revealed even more discouraging nutritional scenarios in recent decades, with nutritional deficit frequencies often exceeding one-fifth of children under 5 years (Barreto et al, 2014;Morais et al, 2003). For example, recent studies in Amazonia and Central Brazil have shown high prevalence rates of stunting among the Wari' (61.7%), Suru ı (38.6%), Guarani-Kaiow a (34.1%) and Upper Xingu ethnic groups (21.7%) (Leite et al, 2007;Mondini et al, 2009;Orellana et al, 2006;P ıcoli et al, 2006).…”

“…Such investigations, almost entirely cross-sectional, tend to show high prevalence rates of under-nutrition, expressed primarily through linear growth deficit in relation to age. For example, evaluations of Indigenous children's nutritional status for different ethnic groups located in both Andean and lowland regions of South America have repeatedly shown high frequencies of height deficits among children under 5 years, irrespective of the reference curves used (Barreto et al, 2014;Foster et al, 2005;Hodge & Dufour 1991;Larrea & Freire, 2002;Orellana et al, 2006;Oyhenart et al, 2003;Urlacher et al, 2015;Wilson et al, 2011). Additionally, the first nationwide survey of nutritional status in the Indigenous population in Brazil revealed that 25.7% of children under 5 years of age suffered from chronic malnutrition in (Horta et al, 2013.…”
