Prevalência e fatores associados à anemia ferropriva e hipovitaminose A em crianças menores de um ano

Abstract: Resumo Objetivo Avaliar a prevalência e os fatores associados à anemia ferropriva e hipovitaminose A em menores de um ano. Métodos Estudo transversal com amostra de 93 crianças. Foram consideradas anêmicas crianças com hemoglobina < 11 g/dL. O ponto de corte utilizado para a classificação de valores baixos de vitamina A foi < 0,70 mMol/L, e para caracterizar deficiência < 0,35 mMol/L. As análises estatísticas foram processadas no software Stata 10.0. As variáveis estão apresentadas em frequência sim… Show more

“…Contrary to conventional thinking, instead of the predicted deficit in the protein-calorie nutrition state expected by insufficient protein and energy intake from human milk after six months of breastfeeding, what has surprisingly occurred was a high prevalence of overweight (overweight/obesity) of 28.7%, statistically equivalent to the comparison group. This result still reflects the situation also found in children of the state of Pernambuco, of the region and of the country [20][21][22] . It should be pointed out that, in itself, that is to say, without considering the issue of anemia and VAD, this situation represents a worrying result, in technical terms, depending on the conventional foundations of the nutritional status of children.…”

“…That is, the possible VAD, represented by deficient and low levels of serum retinol (≤ 1.05 μmol/L) -4.4% in the BF group and 0.5% in the comparison group -is fully compatible with a situation in which VAD does not manifest itself as a health problem 18 . By the way, these occurrences are well below prevalences found in population-based surveys of Brazilian children 20,21 , including in the state of Pernambuco 22 . Therefore, based on these observations, it could not be said that prolonged BF as the only food source for children aged six to 14 months acted as a risk factor for VAD under biochemical criteria.…”

“…O ferro é um micronutriente essencial durante a fase de crescimento e desenvolvimento da criança e do adolescente (Harika et al, 2017;Lynch et al, 2018), pois este atua na formação da hemoglobina, no sistema imunológico, na síntese do DNA, no transporte de oxigênio e no fornecimento de energia (Camaschella, 2017;Wong, 2017). A deficiência deste nutriente pode causar inúmeros problemas na saúde, como baixa oxigenação do sangue, baixo peso, alterações gastrointestinais e na função cerebral, redução na função imunitária, no trabalho físico, mental e no desenvolvimento psicológico e cognitivo (Silva et al, 2015).…”

“…De forma a diminuir a prevalência desta carência nutricional, foi observado que a fortificação dos alimentos tem sido uma boa alternativa (Chadare et al, 2019;Vieira et al, 2017). Este método apresenta alta efetividade, pois não implica em medicações nos hábitos alimentares das crianças, sendo adicionadas pequenas quantidades de alimentos com grande biodisponibilidade de ferro em sua composição (Silva et al, 2015).…”

“…vitamin A and iron, leading to the development of nutritional deficiencies [4][5][6] . Iron and vitamin A deficiencies in children are considered a public health problem 7,8 . Data from the National Demographic and Health Survey (PNDS) show that the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia and vitamin A deficiency among children under five was 20.9% and 17.4%, respectively 9 .…”
