Resumo: | ObjectiveTo identify the prevalence of iron-deficiency anemia in children aged less than 60 months and the conditioning factors in Minas Gerais, Brazil. MethodsThis cross-sectional study conducted from February 2007 to July 2008 in Minas Gerais included a random sample of 725 male and female children aged less than 60 months. A household survey was administered to the children’s parents or guardians to collect socioeconomic, demographic, food security, and the child’s anthropometric data. The hemoglobin level was determined by a portable hemoglobinometer. Anemia was considered present when hemoglobin levels were below 11.0 g/dL. Statistical analyses estimated the prevalenceof anemia and its association with socioeconomic, demographic, and food security-related variables. The model was adjusted by multivariate logistic regression. The significance level was set at 5% (p<0.05). ResultsThe prevalence of anemia was 37.4%. The greatest prevalence occurred in the age group 6 to 24 months (43.0%). The associated variables were being female (PR=1.43; p<0.026); age (PR=1.53; p<0.024); and not frequenting a daycare center (PR=2.41; p<0.001). In the multivariate regression model, the variables being female and not frequenting a daycare center remained in the model. ConclusionThe present population-based study found that in Minas Gerais, one-third (37.5%) of the children aged less than 60 months have iron-deficiency anemia. The results show that not frequenting a daycare center and being female are risk factors for anemia. |

MétodosEstudo transversal com amostra probabilística de 725 crianças menores de 60 meses de idade, de ambos os sexos, realizado entre fevereiro de 2007 e julho de 2008, em Minas Gerais. Por meio de inquérito domiciliar aplicado aos responsáveis pelas crianças, foram obtidas informações sobre as condições socioeconômicas, demográficas e situação de segurança alimentar, bem como obtidas as medidas antropométricas. A dosagem de hemoglobina foi analisada em hemoglobinômetro portátil, considerando-se como anemia valor <11,0 g/dL. A análise estatística estimou a prevalência da anemia e sua associação com condições socioeconômicas,demográficas e segurança alimentar. O modelo foi ajustado por regressão logística multivariada. Adotou-se p<0,05 como nível crítico para definir significância estatística. ResultadosA prevalência de anemia foi de 37,4%. A maior prevalência ocorreu na faixa etária de 6 a 24 meses (43,0%). As variáveis associadas foram: sexo feminino (RP=1,43; p<0,026); idade (RP=1,53; p<0,024) e não frequentar creche (RP=2,41; p<0,001). No modelo de regressão multivariada, permaneceram as variáveis sexo feminino e não frequentar creche. ConclusãoO presente estudo, de base populacional, mostrou que em Minas Gerais um terço das crianças (37,5%) com menos de 60 meses de idade apresentava anemia ferropriva. Os resultados revelaram que não frequentar creche e ser do sexo feminino configuram situações de risco à ocorrência de anemia.
