Magnitude, distribuição espacial e tendência da anemia em pré-escolares da Paraíba

Abstract: OBJETIVO: Avaliar a magnitude, a distribuição espacial e a tendência temporal da anemia em pré-escolares no Estado da Paraíba, Brasil. MÉTODOS: Corte transversal com amostra aleatória, do tipo multietapas, em oito cidades da zona urbana, de três mesorregiões do Estado da Paraíba, no ano de 1992, pela qual foram selecionados aleatoriamente 1.287 pré-escolares de ambos os sexos. A hemoglobina foi dosada pelo método da cianometa-hemoglobina em sangue venoso, empregando <11,0 g/dl como ponto de corte para anemi… Show more

“…The prevalence of anemia observed in the State of Paraíba (36.5%) was similar to the prevalences described in studies conducted in States of the Northeast region of Brazil. 10,16 Analyzing the temporal trend of anemia in the studied ecological context, the stabilization in the prevalence of anemia in the period from 1992 to 2007 shows a trend profi le that is signifi cantly different from that of the period between 1982 and 1992, when there was a sharp increase in the problem, which has also been reported by Oliveira et al 17 This trend was somewhat unexpected, as its prevalence was expected to decrease, in consonance with what has been observed in temporal trend studies of other nutritional defi ciencies, like protein-energy malnutrition. A possible explanation for this unexpected behavior would be the fact that, although suffi ciently adequate in quantitative and energetic terms, these children's nutrition is defi cient in iron, mainly that of high bioavailability, to meet their physiological needs.…”

“…Um exemplo disso é a prevalên-cia da desnutrição infantil que, apesar da redução expressiva em todo país, ainda permanece alta na Região Norte (14,7%) 11 . Para a anemia, até a publicação da PNDS/2006 11 , o que prevalecia era uma tendência de aumento mesmo em regiões socioepidemiológicas distintas, com as prevalências apresentadas sendo superiores 6,19 à encontrada nacionalmente e de suas respectivas regiões 11 . Para o Norte não foram encontrados estudos que documentassem essa tendência, indicando a necessidade de mais estudos nessa perspectiva, especialmente no contexto do interior da Amazônia.…”

“…No Brasil, a anemia ferropriva tem assumido proporções epidêmicas, com tendência crescente nas últimas décadas 2,3 . O Ministério da Saúde vem desenvolvendo estratégias para a redução da anemia ferropriva no país, a exemplo da suplementação medicamentosa e, sobretudo, da fortificação massiva das farinhas de trigo e milho, a partir de 2002 4 .…”
