Resumo: ObjectiveTo verify the association between dietary iron intake and the occurrence of iron-deficiency anemia in agricultural workers’ families from the municipality of Gameleira in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. MethodsThe study population consisted of 46 harvesters’ families, consisting of 225 individuals. The food intake of each individual was recorded on three different days by directly weighing the foods consumed. Hemoglobin was determined by fingerstick (HemoCue). This research used the probability of adequacy method to assess iron intake and the paired t test for comparing groups. The Spearman Mann-Whitney test estimated associations between the dietary variables and anemia. ResultsThe prevalence of anemia was high in all ages groups and highest (67.6%) in children aged <5 years with a mean hemoglobin of 10.37 g/dL (±1.30 g/dL). Children aged <5 years had low percentage of iron intake adequacy (53.1%). Most of them consumed diets  with low iron bioavailability (47.5%). Associations between the occurrence of anemia and dietary variables were significant for total iron (heme and nonheme), its bioavailabilities, and general meat intake. ConclusionInadequate dietary iron intake and inadequate intake of factors that facilitate iron absorption can be considered decisive for the occurrence of iron-deficiency anemia. Food insecurity occurs between family members, with some members being favored over others with regard to the intake of good dietary iron sources.

MétodosA população foi composta por 46 famílias de trabalhadores de cana-de-açúcar, totalizando 225 indivíduos. Para cada indivíduo, foram realizados três inquéritos alimentares pelo método de registro alimentar por pesagem direta dos alimentos e dosagem de hemoglobina por meio do equipamento Hemocue. Utilizou-se o método da adequação aparente para avaliar a ingestão de ferro, e o teste t pareado na comparação entre grupos de indivíduos. Para estimar associações entre variáveis dietéticas e anemia, foi utilizado o teste de Mann-Whitney. ResultadosA prevalência de anemia foi elevada em todas as faixas etárias, sendo maior (67,6%) no grupo de crianças com menos de 5 anos de idade, com média de hemoglobina de 10,37 g/dL (±1,30 g/dL). Na análise da adequação aparente, as crianças menores de 5 anos apresentaram baixo percentual de adequação (53,1%). A maioria delas apresentou um percentual elevado de dieta com baixa biodisponibilidade de ferro (47,5%). As associações entre a ocorrência de anemia e as variáveis dietéticas mostraram-se estatisticamente significantes para ferro total (heme e não heme), suas biodisponibilidades e consumo de carnes em geral. ConclusãoA inadequação do consumo de ferro dietético e dos fatores facilitadores da sua absorção pode ser considerada determinante para a ocorrência da anemia ferropriva. As famílias vivenciam insegurança alimentar intrafamiliar, com discriminação do consumo de alimentos fontes de ferro entre seus membros. Núcleo de Editoração – PUC-Campinas2023-04-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/8303Brazilian Journal of Nutrition; Vol. 27 No. 2 (2014): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; Vol. 27 Núm. 2 (2014): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; v. 27 n. 2 (2014): 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/8303/5824Copyright (c) 2023 Débora Silva CAVALCANTI, Priscila Nunes de VASCONCELOS, Vanessa Messias MUNIZ, Natália Fernandes dos SANTOS, Mônica Maria OSÓRIOhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilva CAVALCANTI, Débora Nunes de VASCONCELOS, Priscila Messias MUNIZ, VanessaFernandes dos SANTOS, Natália OSÓRIO, Mônica Maria2023-04-13T18:45:04Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/8303Revistahttp://www.scielo.br/rnPRIhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/oai||sbi.submissionrn@puc-campinas.edu.br1678-98651415-5273opendoar:2023-04-13T18:45:04Revista de Nutrição - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
