Clinical and Vitamin Response to a Short‐Term Multi‐Micronutrient Intervention in Brazilian Children and Teens: From Population Data to Interindividual Responses

“…As noted by others, vitamin D was affected by sex and might reflect differences in time spent in the sun, fat mass differences, or metabolic needs of females at these ages . Anemia prevalence in this cohort was low (2‐year average of 2.1% based on hemoglobin status; Supporting Information 1, Table ) although the mean estimated prevalence of anemia for children in other Brazilian studies ranged between 10.4 and 68.8% …”

“…[86] Anemia prevalence in this cohort was low (2-year average of 2.1% based on hemoglobin status; Supporting Information 1, Table 3) although the mean estimated prevalence of anemia for children in other Brazilian studies ranged between 10.4 and 68.8%. [87,88]…”

Prevalence and factors associated to vitamin A deficiency in children attending public day care centers in the Southwest of Bahia

“…2 This result was similar to another study conducted with preschool children in the state of Piaui, 19 confirming the data of a literature review on micronutrient deficiency in Brazilian children attending day care found an average prevalence of 12.5% of vitamin A deficiency. 20 On the other hand, some studies have found the prevalence of superior hypovitaminosis 9,10,21,22 as well as the National Survey on Demographics and Child and Woman Health (PNDS) with a prevalence of 17.4% higher in the Northeast (19.0%) and the Southeast (21.6%) of Brazil. 12 The differences in prevalence rates may be associated to the children´s age range although studies that work with infants have greater prevalence in relation to preschool children.…”

Consensus of the Brazilian Association of Nutrology on Milky Feeding of Children Aged 1–5 Years Old

“…50 As of the age of 2 years old, school, social relationships outside the family environment and food preferences interfere positively and/or negatively in the repertoire and eating habits in a more marked way. 49,51 Bueno et al 52 in a multi-year study conducted with 85 schools (public [63.5%] and private [36.5%]), covering 3,058 children between 2 and 6 years old from 9 Brazilian cities, evaluated the adequacy of nutrient intake from a qualitative and quantitative analysis of children's feeding for one day, from weighing and diet calculation. The results reinforce the need for constant attention and improvements in the profile of food supply and consumption of Brazilian school-age children, where despite the low prevalence of inadequate intake of vitamins essential to health (B1, B2, B3, B6, folate, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, copper, zinc and selenium), 30% of the sample consumed more saturated fat than recommended, 15 to 29% had inadequate vitamin E, > 90% had inadequate vitamin D intake, 45% of children > 4 years old did not reach the calcium recommendation, and sodium intake was higher than recommended for > 90% of children < 4 years old and for 73% of children > 4 years old.…”
