Resumo: | ObjectiveTo evaluate factors associated with the iron nutritional status of Brazilian children aged 4 to 7 years in the city of Viçosa, Minas Gerais state, Brazil. MethodsThis is a cross-sectional study of 357 children aged 4-7 years who had been followed-up up for during their first six months of life by the Breastfeeding Support Program. Socioeconomic and demographic characteristics, feeding practices, nutritional status (height-for-age and body mass index-for-age), and serum ferritin and hemoglobin concentrations were evaluated. Multiple linear regression analysis was carried out to evaluate factors independently associated with iron nutritional status (hemoglobin and ferritin), considering α=0.05 as the significance level. ResultsThe prevalence of anemia and iron deficiency was (34) 9.52% and (11) 11.00%, respectively. The factors independently associated with anemia were younger child age, low maternal education, low height-for-age Z-scores, and children of single and separated mothers or widows. Iron deficiency was associated with child younger age and consumption of chocolates and chocolate flavored milk. ConclusionThe results obtained allow us to conclude that anemia among children 4-7 years of age is a public health problem in the city of Viçosa, Minas Gerais. Therefore, there is a need for intervention measures targeting children in this age group. These measures can be implemented through food and nutritional education by encouraging the consumption of iron-rich foods. |

ObjetivoAvaliar fatores associados ao estado nutricional de ferro em crianças brasileiras de 4 a 7 anos de idade, no município de Viçosa, Minas Gerais. MétodosTrata-se de um estudo transversal com 357 crianças que foram acompanhadas nos primeiros seis meses de vida, pelo Programa de Apoio à Lactação. Obteve-se informações referentes as condições socioeconômicas, demográficas, práticas alimentares, estado nutricional (estatura/idade e índice de massa corporal/idade), concentrações de ferritina e de hemoglobina. Realizou-se análise de regressão linear múltipla para avaliar os fatores independentemente associados ao estado nutricional de ferro (hemoglobina e ferritina) considerando-se o nível de significância de α=0,05. ResultadosAs prevalências de anemia e deficiência de ferro foram de (34) 9,52% e (11) 11,00% respectivamente. Os fatores independentemente associados a anemia foram menor idade da criança, menor escolaridade da mãe, baixa estatura para idade em escore-Z, e ser filho de mães solteiras, separadas ou viúvas. A deficiência de ferro foi associada a menor idade da criança e consumo de chocolates/achocolatados. ConclusãoOs resultados do presente estudo permitem concluir que no município de Viçosa, a anemia apresenta-se como um problema de saúde pública ligeiro em crianças de 4 a 7 anos de idade. Diante desse problema, verifica-se a necessidade de medidas de intervenção voltadas para o grupo infantil. Essas medidas podem ser feitas com a educação alimentar e nutricional, estimulando o consumo dos alimentos fontes de ferro Núcleo de Editoração – PUC-Campinas2023-03-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/7863Brazilian Journal of Nutrition; Vol. 30 No. 3 (2017): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; Vol. 30 Núm. 3 (2017): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; v. 30 n. 3 (2017): Revista de Nutrição1678-9865reponame:Revista de Nutriçãoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPenghttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/7863/5389Copyright (c) 2023 Hercílio Paulino ANDRÉ, Sarah Aparecida VIEIRA, Sylvia do Carmo Castro FRANCESCHINI, Andréia Queiroz RIBEIRO, Helen Hermana Miranda HERMSDORFF, Silvia Eloiza PRIOREhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessANDRÉ, Hercílio Paulino Aparecida VIEIRA, Sarah do Carmo Castro FRANCESCHINI, Sylvia Queiroz RIBEIRO, Andréia Miranda HERMSDORFF, Helen Hermana PRIORE, Silvia Eloiza 2023-03-16T17:12:06Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/7863Revistahttp://www.scielo.br/rnPRIhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/oai||sbi.submissionrn@puc-campinas.edu.br1678-98651415-5273opendoar:2023-03-16T17:12:06Revista de Nutrição - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false |
