“…In the present study, maternal marital status was associated with hemoglobin levels in the final multiple linear regression model, which is inconsistent with the findings of another study on the prevalence and determinants of anemia in children attending public daycare facilities in Belo Horizonte (MG) [25], in which there was association between anemia and marital status. Their results may be due to the greater financial difficulty acquiring iron-rich foods, less access to adequate health services, low household income, and poor sanitation conditions that can occur in household with single, separated, or widowed mothers and are less common in households with married mothers or those who have a domestic partner.…”

As prevalências de anemia em idosos verificadas nestes estudos realizados no Brasil, bem como a prevalência verificada no presente estudo, apesar de serem inferiores às prevalências encontradas em estudos envolvendo outros grupos etários como crianças 38,39 e gestantes 40,41 , devem ser consideradas relevantes, devido às repercussões negativas que esta doença gera sobre a saúde e qualidade de vida do idoso, como o aumento do risco de morbidade e mortalidade.…”

“…Nos dois grupos de crianças avaliados, a maioria das famílias apresentou até quatro pessoas dependentes da renda familiar mensal, resultado semelhante ao observado por Rocha et al 24 . A constituição familiar é considerada um fator de risco importante para o desenvolvimento de anemia, uma vez que um número maior de crianças pequenas na residência promove aumento da demanda por alimentos e cuidados, que nem sempre podem ser supridos pela renda da família e disponibilidade dos pais 25 .…”
