Resumo: This study aimed at verifying the prevalence of anemia in 6 to 12-month-old infants attended at the public health service of the city of Viçosa, state of Minas Gerais, and analyzing some possible risk factors. Information was obtained through questionnaire applied to those responsible for the infants and through the verification of the anthropometric measures and the hemoglobin dosage by portable hemoglobinometer. In diagnosing anemia, a 11g/dL cutoff point was used. The prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in a total of 204 infants reached 60.8%, and 55.6% of the cases of anemia were serious. The hemoglobin average was 9.28±1.07 mg/dL in anemic infants, and 12.07± 0.89 mg/dL in non-anemic ones. The father’s low school level and the mother’s age showed statistical association with anemia (p<0.05). A high prevalence and severity of the anemia was found, emphasizing the need for prevention and control of this disease in the city of Viçosa.

As informações foram obtidas através de questionário aplicado aos responsáveis pela criança e através da verificação de medidas antropométricas e da dosagem de hemoglobina por hemoglobinômetro portátil. No diagnóstico de anemia, utilizou-se o ponto de corte de 11 g/dL. A prevalência de anemia ferropriva nas 204 crianças estudadas foi 60,8%, e 55,6% dos casos de anemia eram graves. A média da hemoglobina foi 9,28±1,07 nos anêmicos e 12,07±0,89 mg/dL nos não-anêmicos. A baixa escolaridade paterna e a idade materna mostraram associação estatística com a anemia (p<0,05). A alta prevalência e a gravidade da anemia encontrada neste estudo comprovam a necessidade de prevenção e controle desta carência no município.Núcleo de Editoração – PUC-Campinas2002-12-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/9107Brazilian Journal of Nutrition; Vol. 15 No. 3 (2002): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; Vol. 15 Núm. 3 (2002): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; v. 15 n. 3 (2002): Revista de Nutrição1678-9865reponame:Revista de Nutriçãoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/9107/6491Copyright (c) 2023 Danielle Góes da SILVA, Sylvia do Carmo Castro FRANCESCHINI, Silvia Eloiza PRIORE, Sônia Machado Rocha RIBEIRO, Sophia Cornbluth SZARFARC, Sônia Buongermino SOUZA, Laerte Pereira ALMEIDA, Nerilda Martins Miranda de LIMA, Úrsula Comastri de Castro MAFFIAhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGóes da SILVA, Danielle Castro FRANCESCHINI, Sylvia do Carmo PRIORE, Silvia Eloiza Machado Rocha RIBEIRO, Sônia Cornbluth SZARFARC, Sophia Buongermino SOUZA, SôniaPereira ALMEIDA, Laerte Martins Miranda de LIMA, Nerilda Comastri de Castro MAFFIA, Úrsula2024-04-08T13:38:33Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/9107Revistahttp://www.scielo.br/rnPRIhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/oai||sbi.submissionrn@puc-campinas.edu.br1678-98651415-5273opendoar:2024-04-08T13:38:33Revista de Nutrição - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
