Abstract: Objetivo. Analizar la asociación entre el consumo de suple­mentos o leche Liconsa y anemia, deficiencias de zinc (DZ) y hierro (DH) y morbilidad en niños mexicanos residentes de localidades menores a 100 000 habitantes. Material y métodos. Se analizó información de 1 516 niños de 1 a 4 años de la Encuesta Nacional de Salud y Nutrición en locali­dades con menos de 100 000 habitantes realizada en el año 2018. Se definió Anemia si [Hb]<11 g/dL, DZ: [Zn]<65 μg/dL y DH: [ferritina]<12 μg/L. El consumo de s… Show more

“…In Mexico, results in reducing anemia have been positive [3]. This is mainly due to food fortification and supplementation strategies implemented by the government, such as Prospera and Liconsa [8]. Such results should provide an incentive to keep putting effort into planning and implementing measures to reduce its prevalence given the high impact on quality of life and future income that the disease brings [9,10].…”

“…35 ZD, independently of iron deficiency, affects erythropoiesis by way of the GATA1 transcription factor involved in erythroid maturation and heme synthesis, which contains two zinc finger domains. 36 Our data and those reported in Ensanut 100k-2018 22 have demonstrated an inverse association between ZD and anemia, which is difficult to explain using a cross-sectional study design; therefore, caution is recommended when interpreting this association.…”

“…In 2018-19, ZD affected 1 out of every 10 Mexican children aged 1-4 y: a lower prevalence than that reported among children living in localities with <100 000 inhab- itants in Ensanut 100k-2018, where ZD was present in 18.6% and affected a larger proportion of one-year-old children (33%) and children within the lowest HWI (23.3%). 22 Differences in ZD prevalence are mainly due to the personal characteristics of the child participants in Ensanut 100k-2018 and Ensanut 2018-19, including lower socioeconomic conditions, which are a main driver of micronutrient deficiencies among our population. In Latin American children under five years of age, low serum zinc levels have been reported, of 28.8% in Ecuador (2013), 34.9% Guatemala (2010), 23 and 36.0% in Colombia (2015).…”

“…Las prevalencias de anemia fueron superiores en niños <5 años con baja talla para la edad, con emaciación y pertenecientes a hogares indígenas. 18 Cabe destacar que las deficiencias de zinc y anemia son altamente frecuentes en niños menores de dos años en el tercil socioeconómico bajo, lo que afecta en promedio a 1 de cada 3 niños en el caso de zinc y a 1 de cada 4 en anemia, periodo donde las consecuencias a largo plazo de estas condiciones de nutrición son irreversibles si no se corrigen oportunamente.…”
