“…This result is similar to those found by other researchers [7,11,13,14,27]. Oliveira et al [27] assessed the prevalence of anemia and its associated factors in children 6-59 months in the state of Pernambuco and found that the children whose mothers had less than 4 years of schooling were more than twice as likely to be anemic. Tympa-Psirropoulou et al [11] investigated the prevalence of anemia in children aged 12-24 months in Greece and found that parents' education affected the presence of anemia in children; the number of cases of anemia was higher among children whose parents had only primary or secondary education.…”

“…It is important to mention that most studies on this topic in Brazil have investigated iron-deficiency anemia [2,5,7,8,12,[25][26][27][28][29], and few have evaluated these Value refers to 1 minimum wage -R$540,00.…”

“…According to Oliveira et al [27], inadequate dietary practices are the main risk factors for developing anemia. Higher dietary iron intake, together with an enhancer of nonheme iron absorption (vitamin C and meat, for example), has been associated with the absence of anemia in children.…”

Objective: Study the prevalence of iron depletion and iron-deficiency anemia and their associated factors in preschool children. Methods: Cross-sectional study with five-year old preschool children from a birth cohort of the city of Diamantina, Minas Gerais state, Brazil. Socioeconomic, demographic, and dietary characteristics were obtained through a questionnaire administered to each child mother or guardian. Iron depletion (normal hemoglobin and low serum ferritin levels) and iron-deficiency anemia (hemoglobin level than 11g/dL) were detected after collecting 5mL of venous blood of preschool children. Poisson regression was used to identify the factors associated with iron depletion and iron-deficiency anemia. Results: A total of 228 preschool were evaluated, corresponding to 97.4% of the children from a cohort study followed-up up to the end of their first year of life. Iron depletion and iron-deficiency anemia were detected, respectively, in 15.9% and 18.9% of the preschool children evaluated. Iron depletion was not associated with any variable studied, while low maternal education level was associated with iron-deficiency anemia (PR=1.83; P=0.03). Conclusion: Iron-deficiency anemia is considered as a mild public health problem among 5-year old children in the city of Diamantina, Minas Gerais. Higher maternal education level was a protective factor against this deficiency, and therefore it is as an important marker for the occurrence of iron-deficiency anemia in the population studied.

“…A mesma explicação poderia ser atribuída ao maior risco de anemia nas crianças de 6-23 meses que residiam na área rural no ano de 2006, em contraste com crianças de 24-59 meses, grupo que apresentou maior diminuição da prevalên-cia de anemia. O estudo realizado no Município de Jordão, no Acre, é particularmente elucidativo, observando-se 37,5% de anemia nas crianças com ascendência indígena da área urbana e uma prevalência bastante superior (64,3%) nas crianças da área rural 26 . Já a Pesquisa Nacional de Demografia e Saúde de 2006 (PNDS/2006) constatou uma relação estatística bem diferente, observando-se que as crianças de áreas rurais apresentaram uma menor prevalência de anemia quando comparadas às crianças de áreas urbanas 27 .…”

Objective: To update the estimation of the prevalence of anaemia in Brazilian children according to four different epidemiological scenarios. Design: A new systematic review was conducted with a meta-analysis of the results published between 2007 and May 2019. Literature search was carried out in the PubMed and LILACS databases using keywords anaemia, child and Brazil. A total of thirty-seven articles (17 741 children) were selected and categorised according to the origin of their respective samples: childcare centres (Childcare; n 13 studies/2697 individuals), health services (Services; n 4/755), populations with social inequities (Inequities, n 7/6798) and population-based studies (Populations; n 13/7491). Assuming a prevalence of 20·9 % as reference (Health National Survey; n 3455), the combined prevalence ratios (PR) were calculated. A random-effects model was used. Participants: Brazilian children 6–60 months of age. Results: The prevalence of anaemia, by scenario, was: Childcare 24·8 % (PR 1·06; 95 % CI 0·81, 1·40); Services 39·9 % (PR 1·76, 95 % CI 1·33, 2·35); Inequities 51·6 % (PR 2·02, 95 % CI 1·87, 2·18); and Populations 35·8 % (PR 1·42, 95 % CI 1·23, 1·64). Therefore, the values were all higher than the national prevalence; the Inequities had the highest prevalence, and only Childcare did not reach statistical significance. Concerning the previous meta-analysis, there was a reduction in anaemia prevalence in all scenarios: –52·3, –33·7, –22·4 and –10·7 %, respectively. Conclusions: Compared to the situation revealed in the previous meta-analysis, anaemia, although observed to a lesser extent, remains an important public health problem in the different scenarios analysed, especially for children living in Inequities. Access to Childcare mitigates the risk for this condition.
