Resumo: | ObjectiveThis study assessed the iron levels and prevalence of anemia and associated factors in children aged 6 to 24 months attending public daycare centers in Cascavel, Western Paraná, Brazil.MethodsThis cross-sectional study included 256 randomly sampled children. Questionnaires were administered and anthropometric data and blood samples were collected from July to September 2007. Iron status was determined by measuring transferrin level, hemoglobin level, mean corpuscular volume, serum iron level and eosinophil count. Crude and adjusted (logistic regression) odds ratios and the respective significance levels (p-value) were obtained by statistical analysis. Analysis of variance and the Tukey’s range test were used for identifying significant differences in the quantitative measurements.ResultsThere was a 29.7% prevalence of anemia and 77.3% of the sample presented low iron levels. Anthropometry did not indicate macronutrient deficiencies but revealed above-average obesity rates. The factors associated with anemia and iron deficiency were family members constantly becoming sick (OR=10.02), poor living conditions (OR=5.05), time attending a daycare center (OR=3.05), number of individuals in the household (OR=2.83) and absence of sanitation (OR=2.20).ConclusionThe prevalence of anemia and the high iron deficiency rate evidenced a severe public health problem regarding the preschool children from Cascavel, Paraná. Despite the magnitude of the problem, anemia is not being detected, prevented and treated properly. This study suggests some possible interventions. |

A coleta de dados (questionário, medidas antropométricas e amostras de sangue) ocorreu de julho a setembro de 2007. A deficiência de ferro foi avaliada em termos de transferrina, hemoglobina, volume corpuscular médio, ferro sérico e eosinófilos. Na análise estatística dos dados foram obtidas as odds ratio bruta e ajustada (regressão logística), bem como os respectivos níveis de significância (p-valor). Para identificar diferenças significativas entre as medidas quantitativas, adotou-se a Análise de Variância e o teste de comparação múltipla de Tukey.ResultadosA prevalência da anemia foi de 29,7%, sendo que 77,3% das amostras apresentaram baixa concentração de ferro. A antropometria não apontou deficiência de macronutrientes, porém mostrou obesidade acima dos índices médios. Os fatores associados à anemia e à deficiência de ferro foram: doenças frequentes na família (OR=10,02), condições de moradia (OR=5,05), tempo de creche (OR=3,05), número de moradores na residência (OR=2,83) e falta de saneamento (OR=2,20).ConclusãoA prevalência de anemia e a elevada deficiência de ferro detectada evidenciam um grave problema de saúde pública entre os pré-escolares do município de Cascavel, Paraná. Apesar da amplitude do problema, a anemia não está sendo reconhecida, prevenida e tratada adequadamente. Neste estudo são sugeridas algumas possíveis intervenções.Núcleo de Editoração – PUC-Campinas2023-08-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/9453Brazilian Journal of Nutrition; Vol. 24 No. 3 (2011): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; Vol. 24 Núm. 3 (2011): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; v. 24 n. 3 (2011): 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/9453/6823Copyright (c) 2023 Valdete Carreira RODRIGUES, Aline GOZZI, Fabiano SANDRINI, Rosangela Getirana SANTANA, Graciette MATIOLhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRODRIGUES, Valdete Carreira GOZZI, Aline SANDRINI, Fabiano SANTANA, Rosangela Getirana MATIOL, Graciette 2023-08-31T16:19:54Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/9453Revistahttp://www.scielo.br/rnPRIhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/oai||sbi.submissionrn@puc-campinas.edu.br1678-98651415-5273opendoar:2023-08-31T16:19:54Revista de Nutrição - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false |
