“…El primero estaría ligado a los conocimientos y las habilidades adquiridas para la crianza y el cuidado de los hijos, mientras que el segundo estaría vinculado con el empoderamiento de la mujer como resultado del nivel de educación alcanzado. Ambos mecanismos influirían en las decisiones de la mujer sobre los recursos destinados al cuidado de sus niños (salud, higiene, alimentación) y de ella misma, durante y después del embarazo (11,23), y podrían explicar la presencia simultánea de anemia en el niño y en la madre (7,24).…”

“…El diseño y la implementación de intervenciones preventivas efectivas para reducir la anemia y su impacto requieren de un mejor conocimiento de su naturaleza multifactorial (7). El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar aquellos factores sociodemográficos relacionados con el niño y el cuidado materno-infantil que incrementan el riesgo de anemia en niños de seis a 35 meses de edad entre el 2007 y el 2013.…”

-Aguirre: redacción del artículo Todos los autores participaron en la recolección, el análisis y la interpretación de los datos, y en la revisión del manuscrito. Introducción. A pesar de la disminución de la pobreza en Perú, la prevalencia de la anemia infantil en el país continúa siendo alta. Objetivo. Determinar los factores sociodemográficos y las características del cuidado materno-infantil asociadas con la anemia en niños de seis a 35 meses de edad en Perú. Materiales y métodos. Se hizo un estudio observacional que incluyó los datos sobre hemoglobina sanguínea registrados en la Encuesta Demográfica y de Salud Familiar (ENDES), 2007-2013, en niños entre los seis y los 35 meses de edad. Mediante un análisis multivariado de regresión logística, se identificaron los factores asociados con la anemia, definida como una hemoglobina corregida por altitud, menor de 11 mg/dl. Resultados. La prevalencia de anemia fue alta (47,9 %). Se identificaron doce factores asociados con la anemia: factores sociodemográficos como vivir fuera de Lima y Callao; en un hogar con bajo nivel socioeconómico; tener una madre adolescente y con bajo nivel educativo; ser de sexo masculino con edad menor de 24 meses y antecedentes de fiebre reciente, y factores relacionados con el cuidado materno-infantil como la falta de control prenatal en el primer trimestre, la falta de suplemento de hierro durante el embarazo o administrado durante un periodo breve, parto en el domicilio, diagnóstico de anemia en la madre en el momento de la encuesta y ausencia de tratamiento antiparasitario preventivo en el niño. Conclusiones. La ENDES proporcionó información valiosa sobre los factores asociados con la anemia en niños de seis a 35 meses, cuyo conocimiento debe mejorar la cobertura y la efectividad de prácticas adecuadas de cuidado materno-infantil.

Objective: To identify socio-demographic, child and maternal-child care factors associated with anemia in children between 6 and 35 months in Perú. Materials and methods:We conducted an analytical and descriptive study that included registered data from the national survey on demography and family health, 2007-2013, on children between 6 and 35 months old, including the measurement of blood hemoglobin. Anemia was confirmed by hemoglobinaltitude corrected values below 11 mg/dl. We used multivariate logistic regression models to assess potential associated factors for anemia. Results: Anemia prevalence was high (47.9%). Twelve factors were independently associated with anemia in children: Socio-demographic fa...

“…Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is considered the leading contribution to the global burden of anemia [43]. Introduction of complementary food at early age has prominent effect on iron deficiency correction [30,44,45]. These evidences could partly explain the contribution of the influence of food consumption and bioavailability to the IDA.…”

“…Adjusted Poisson regression models were then developed to assess the association between social-economic status, feeding behaviors and anemia. Either significant variables (Crude Prevalence Ratios > 1) or variables were identified as risk factors of childhood anemia in the literature [28-30] were retained. Three multiple Poisson regression models were developed and performed respectively among migrant and local children.…”

BackgroundNumber of internal rural to urban migrant children in China increased rapidly. The disparity of anemia prevalence among them and children of local permanent residents has been reported, both in big and middle-size cities. There has been no population-based study to explore the associated factors on feeding behaviors in small size cities of China. This study aimed to identify whether there was a difference in the prevalence of anemia between children of rural to urban migrant families and local children under 2 years old in a small coastal city in China, and to identify the associated factors of any observed difference.MethodsA community-based, cross-sectional survey was conducted in Pinghu, a newly-developing city in Zhejiang Province, China, among the caregivers of 988 children (667 who were identified as children of migrants and 321 locals) aged 6–23 months. Disparity of anemia prevalence were reported. Association between anemia prevalence and socio-economic status and feeding behaviors were explored among two groups respectively.ResultsAnemia prevalence among the migrant and local children was 36.6% and 18.7% respectively (aPR 1.86, 95% CI 1. 40 to 2.47). Results from adjusted Poisson models revealed: having elder sibling/s were found as an associated factor of anemia with the aPR 1.47 (95% CI 1.16 to 1.87) among migrant children and 2.58 (95% CI 1.37 to 4.58) among local ones; anemia status was associated with continued breastfeeding at 6 months (aPR = 1.57, 95% CI 1.15 to 2.14) and lack of iron-rich and/or iron-fortified foods (aPR = 0.68, 95% CI 0.50 to 0.89) among the migrant children but not among local ones.ConclusionAnemia was more prevalent among migrant children, especially those aged 6–11 months. Dislike their local counterparts, migrant children were more vulnerable at early life and seemed sensitive to feeding behaviors, such as, over reliance on breastfeeding for nutrition after aged 6 months, lack of iron-rich and/or iron-fortified foods. Future strategies to narrow the gap of anemia prevalence between the migrant and local children should target more susceptible groups and through improvement of feeding practices among younger children in those kinds of newly-developing areas of China.
