“…The lack of association between Hb concentrations and socio-economic level is in line with the study of Farias et al 26 , that demonstrated the relationship between family per capita income and the prevalence of anemia, since it is expected that the level of income may influence the quantity and quality of the consumption of ironrich foods 27 .…”

“…Other limiting factors were, on the one hand, the lack of data on the dietary iron intake of students and, on the other, the adoption of a cross-sectional methodological design that allowed only the observation of associations between the events studied, without being possible to demonstrate a cause and effect relationship between these events 27 .…”

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of anemia and associated factors in adolescents from the city of Recife in Pernambuco state. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study, involving a random sample of 256 adolescents of both genders, aged 13 to 18, whose hemoglobin concentrations were evaluated, along with their nutritional status and socioeconomic and demographic characteristics. RESULTS: The prevalence of inadequate hemoglobin concentrations was 10.2% [CI95%=6.7-14.5], reaching levels considered as mild anemia (9 g/dL <hemoglobin <12 g/dL). Female students had lower mean hemoglobin concentrations in all age groups (p<0.001). No association was observed between hemoglobin concentrations and nutritional status (p>0.05), nor with socioeconomic or demographic characteristics (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: Although the prevalence of anemia was low and classified as a mild health problem, preventive nutrition education involving the dissemination of healthy eating habits in schools and encouraging the consumption of iron-rich foods are strongly recommended.

“…The relevance of income level in the determination of anemia seems to derive from its effect on the quantity and quality of food, on the consumption of foods that are sources of heme iron, on the access to healthcare services and on the quality of housing and sanitation. 4 Although the variable maternal age lost its strength of association in the regression analysis, children whose mothers were younger than 20 years were more susceptible to anemia. Similar fi ndings from other studies 10,13,20 lead us to suppose that these mothers' lack of maturity and knowledge infl uence the inadequate choice of complementary foods.…”

OBJECTIVE:To estimate the magnitude of the anemia, to analyze the time trends and investigate the factors associated with this disturbance in children in the state of Paraíba, Brazil. METHODS:A cross-sectional survey, of population-based, with 1108 children, aged 6 to 59 months, both sexes in the state of Paraíba. Hemoglobin (Hb) in venous blood was analyzed with an automatic counter. The social-economic and demographic characteristics of children were obtained by questionnaire. Proportions were compared by Pearson's chi-squared test, and the association between hemoglobin concentrations and potential risk factors was tested by regression model Poisson. The time trend of anemia was assessed by the increase/decreased in the prevalence of anemia, using as comparison the prevalence observed in the years 1982, 1992 and 2007. RESULTS:The prevalence of anemia (Hb < 11.0 g/dl) in the state of Paraíba was 36.5% (95%CI 33.7 to 39.3). It was observed that 1.3% (95%CI 0.7 to 1.8) were in severe form (Hb < 7.0 g/dl), 11% (95%CI 9.4 to 13.5) in a moderate form and 87.6% (95%CI 79.1 to 91.2) in the mild form. There was an increase 88.5% in cases of anemia between the years 1982-1992 and stabilization in the prevalence between the years 1992-2007. The analysis adjusted Poisson model showed a greater susceptibility to anemia in children 6 to 24 months of age, those breastfed for six months or more, who co-inhabited with more than four people in the same household and lived in houses with less than fi ve rooms. CONCLUSIONS:The results revealed that anemia remains an important public health problem in the state of Paraíba and despite having been shown an stabilization in the prevalence of anemia between 1992-2007, differently the prevalence observed between 1982-1992, this defi ciency presents in high level, witch requires more effective measures of prevention and control.
