“…Fe and Zn deficiencies at early stages of life have consequences for maturation of the nervous system and cognitive development (Cámara-Martos et al, 2011;Moráis López et al, 2011). The contribution of Fe and Zn to the DRI (7 and 5 mg/day, respectively) for first term infant formulae was below 12 and 6.80 mg for 95% of the population (Table 6).…”

In this study a probabilistic model was developed to estimate the intake level of Fe, Zn, Ca, P, Mg, Mn, Cu, Na, and K derived from consumption of infant formulas and processed cereal-based food in Spain. Infant formulas were classified in two categories (first term and follow-on) while cereal-based foods were split up in six groups according to their composition (without gluten, only with gluten, fruits, honey, cocoa, and integral cereal). Contributions to Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) were studied for two population groups: 0-6-monthold and 6-month-1-year-old infants. The results reported that mineral and trace elements contents in these types of food cover the established DRIs for Ca, Mg, P, Fe, and K being relatively low for Zn and Cu. Conversely, Na and Mn contents were moderately high and should be decreased to reduce the prevalence of certain diseases.Se ha desarrollado un modelo probabilístico para determinar la ingesta de Fe, Zn, Ca, P, Mg, Mn, Cu, Na, y K a partir del consumo de fórmulas y cereales infantiles. Las fórmulas infantiles se clasificaron en dos categorías (inicio y continuación) y los cereales en seis categorías (con o sin gluten, con frutas, miel, cacao e integrales). Las contribuciones a la Ingestas Dietéticas de Referencia (IDR) se han realizado para dos grupos de población: bebés de 0-6 meses y de 6 meses-1 año. Los resultados muestran como el contenido de minerales y elementos traza presentes en este tipo de alimentos cubren la IDR establecida para Ca, Mg, P, Fe, K, y fueron bajos para cubrir la IDR de Zn y Cu. Por contra, el contenido de Na y Mn es alto y debe reducirse para reducir la incidencia de determinadas patologías.

Anthropometric and hematological tests to diagnose nutritional deficiencies in schoolchildren of indigenous communities living in the Andean region of Ecuador

et al. 2017

A B S T R A C T ObjectiveTo carry out the anthropometric and biometric-hematological assessments in schoolchildren of the Andean region of Ecuador, in order to improve the diagnosis of nutritional deficiencies. MethodsThe study has been carried out in the San Juan School (Chimborazo, Ecuador), located at 3,240m of altitude, to 36 children of 5 and 6 years old. Anthropometric analyses (weight, height and body mass index), and hematocrit and hemoglobin concentrations were measured. The hemoglobin measurement was evaluated considering the normal value and the one adapted to the altitude of the area. Revista de NutriçãoRev. Nutri., Campinas, 30 (6) ResultsThe schoolchildren showed high prevalence of stunting (44%). The values of hematocrit (p=0.001) and hemoglobin (p=0.003) were higher in girls. It should be highlighted that using the normal value of hemoglobin, anemia was not detected. However almost a fifth of the schoolchildren studied were diagnosed with anemia when we applied the correction factors adapted to the altitude. ConclusionThe use of correction factors adapted to the altitude is considered essential to do the hematology test in populations that live in high altitude in order to avoid a false diagnosis. Moreover, it is necessary to establish the environmental factors related to the stunted growth of this population of the Andean region.Keywords: Anemia. Anthropometry. Biometry. Child development.

R E S U M O Objetivo Realizar avaliações antropométricas e biométrico-hematológicas em escolares da cordilheira dos Andes no Equador, a fim de melhorar o diagnóstico de deficiências nutricionais. Métodos O estudo foi realizado na escola San Juan (Chimborazo, Equador), localizada a 3240 metros acima do nível do mar, a 36 crianças de 5 e 6 anos de idade. Foram analisadas as medidas antropométricas (peso, altura e índice de massa corporal) e as concentrações de hemoglobina e hematócrito. A medida da hemoglobina foi avaliada considerando os valores absolutos e os corrigidos pela altura geográfica. Resultados A população escolar apresentou alta prevalência de altura baixa (44% I N T R O D U C T I O NCurrently, nutritional changes are a Public Health problem in Ecuador, affecting the schoolage population in particular. Undernutrition is one of the major causes of death in children [1]. Infant mortality, difficulty to access resources and education are important problems for the populations living in the Andean region [2][3][4][5]. In Ecuador, there are numerous indigenous communities living under these unfavorable conditions.Investigations on the nutritional status of the Ecuadorian population are scarce. The ELAN Ecuadorian Hospital Malnutrition study reported an undernutrition rate of 37.1% in 2012 [6]. The nutritional status of hospitalized patients was shown as not included within the therapeutic objectives [7]. When analyzing the diets of 110 Ecuadorian adults, it was noted that their daily needs of carbohydrates, vitamins D, E, and minerals, such as iron and calcium were not met [8]. H...

The aims of this study were to describe hepcidin levels and to assess their associations with iron status and the main variants in the HFE gene in healthy and full-term newborns during the first year of life, as a longitudinal study conducted on 140 infants. Anthropometric and biochemical parameters, hepcidin, hemoglobin (Hb), serum ferritin (SF), transferrin saturation (TS), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and C-reactive protein (CRP), were assessed in 6- and 12-month-olds. Infants were genotyped for the three main HFE variants: C282Y, H63D, and S65C. Hepcidin levels increased from 6 to 12 months of age (43.7 ± 1.5 to 52.0 ± 1.5 ng/mL; p < 0.001), showing higher levels in infants with better iron status compared to those with iron deficiency (ID) (44.8 ± 1.5 vs 37.9 ± 1.3 ng/mL, p < 0.018, and 54.3 ± 1.5 vs 44.0 ± 1.4 ng/mL, p < 0.038, in 6- and 12-month-olds, respectively). In multivariate linear regression models, iron status was found to be associated with hepcidin levels in infants with wild-type HFE gene (p = 0.046 and p = 0.048 in 6- and 12-month-olds, respectively). However, this association was not found in HFE-alteration-carrying infants. Hepcidin levels increased in healthy infants during the first year of life and were positively associated with iron levels only in infants with wild-type HFE gene, a situation that requires further investigation.
