“…Half of the patients with COVID-19 suffered anemia, mean Hb at admission was in reference range. The mean Hb level of the population areas analyzed in this study is not available, however studies in a neighborhood region suggest that this level is similar to that of the non-COVID-19 population with similar average age [13,14]. Considering the mean age in our patients ,63 years, and the fact that Hb tends to decline with age [14][15][16], we consider that low Hb in patients affected by COVID-19 is not a characteristic of the disease.…”

“…3 There are little data about whether modest increases in altitude below 2000 meters above sea level (masl) impact Hb concentration. 4,5 This knowledge helps to determine a person's health status and diagnose anemia. 6 Here, we analyze the association between Hb and residential altitude in healthy young Swiss men living between 200 and 2000 masl.…”

“…(19,20) Rev Med Hered. 2023; 34: [20][21][22][23][24][25][26] Es más, en una investigación realizada por da Silva et al (21) , en Brasil, se evidenció que el tener poco acceso a los servicios como agua potable, se relacionaba con la mayor presencia de infecciones recurrentes en la infancia, y esta se asociaba a 1,5 veces más probabilidad de que los niños sufran de anemia posteriormente.…”

“…Esta es una realidad muy distinta a la mostrada en el Perú por el INEI, el cual arroja que para el año 2018, en la Sierra peruana el 87,5% contaba con abastecimiento de agua por red pública, el 63,8% tenía servicio de alcantarillado u otras formas de disposición sanitaria de excretas, el 89,9% tenía acceso al servicio de energía eléctrica mediante red pública, y el 97,6% tenía acceso al servicio de recolección domiciliario de residuos sólidos. (22)(23)(24)(25) Dentro de las limitaciones, este estudio fue de tipo retrospectivo y tuvo un tamaño muestral pequeño, por lo que pudo haberse asociado a sesgos y a que se hayan obtenido intervalos de confianza amplios, por lo que no se pudo realizar un análisis más profundo de los datos obtenidos.…”
