“…Currently, the leading cause of anemia is iron deficiency, accounting for half of all anemia reported cases (1,4). Suffering from iron deficiency anemia during childhood can lead to cognitive and motor deficiencies which can lead to difficulties with academic achievement and later health and well-being including productivity (2,5,6).…”

Background: Despite national efforts to control pediatric anemia in Peru, each year, 67.4% of all newborns are diagnosed with anemia during their first year of life. The literature on Peruvian mothers' understanding and beliefs of pediatric anemia is limited. In the present study, we aimed to understand mother's perspective of pediatric anemia and explore their perceptions on how to prevent and treat anemia in Peru.Methods: During May–June 2018, we administered a short demographic questionnaire and conducted language-sensitive interviews with mothers of children clinically diagnosed with anemia in three different governmental health centers in Arequipa, Peru. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. We used the Framework Analysis approach to analyze qualitative data.Results: A total of 14 Peruvian mothers were interviewed. Across interviews, three main themes emerged: (I) Mothers' Understanding of Pediatric Anemia; (II) Attitudes about Provider Recommendations for Pediatric Anemia Control; and (III) Barriers to Effective Pediatric Anemia Control. Peruvian mothers expressed skepticism toward national pediatric anemia guidelines as they believe recommendations received at health clinics jeopardized their children's overall health. Participants identified several barriers to effective anemia control: limited and confusing health information received during pediatric healthcare appointments, lack of systematic protocols in health clinics, and inconsistent referral processes.Conclusion: We identified factors that limit the acceptance of current pediatric anemia control guidelines followed at governmental health centers in Arequipa, Peru. Understanding maternal beliefs concerning pediatric anemia can guide future anemia control guidelines at the primary care level for pediatric patients in Peru.

“…In Peru, it is estimated that 404,938 out of 600,000 yearly live births will be diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia during their first year of life (6,7). Due to this high burden, controlling pediatric anemia is a top priority for Peru's Ministry of Health (MINSA) and Ministry of Development and Social Inclusion (MIDIS) (8)(9)(10)(11).…”

“…In addition, the long-term consequences of anemia in infancy may also compromise social interaction and work productivity later in life [2,6,7]. Therefore, anemia affects not only individual quality of life but also the social and economic development of the country, a particularly important issue in developing economies [2,7,8].…”

Prevalence of Anemia in Children from Latin America and the Caribbean and Effectiveness of Nutritional Interventions: Systematic Review and Meta–Analysis

et al. 2019

Anemia affects 1.62 billion people worldwide. Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) comprise several developing countries where children are a population at risk. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to estimate the prevalence of anemia in this population. Electronic databases, reference lists, and websites of health ministries were searched until December 2018. Stratified analyses were performed using RevMan5.3 to estimate the overall prevalence of anemia in preschool and school-age children. The effectiveness of nutritional interventions was also evaluated. We included 61 studies from the 917 reviewed, which included 128,311 preschool- and 38,028 school-age children from 21 LAC countries. The number of anemic children was 32.93% and 17.49%, respectively, demonstrating a significant difference according to age (p < 0.01). No difference was observed by gender and only school-age children from low/very low socioeconomic status (SES) (25.75%) were more prone to anemia than those from middle SES (7.90%). It was not a concern in the Southern Cone but constituted a serious public health problem in the Latin Caribbean. Nutritional interventions reduced the prevalence from 45% to 25% (p < 0.01). Anemia is still a public health problem for children in LAC countries. National surveys should include school-age children. Further nutritional interventions are required to control anemia.

“…La anemia tiene consecuencias durante toda la vida, afectando la salud, educación y rendimiento laboral; estos efectos se traducen en costos para la familia y la sociedad (3)(4)(5) . Además, se ha estimado que la anemia ocasionó al Perú una pérdida aproximada de S/ 2777 millones para el 2011 (el 0,62% del producto bruto interno de ese año), siendo mayor el costo para la economía rural que para la urbana (6) .…”

a Licenciado en Nutrición, magíster en Nutrición Pública; b ingeniero estadístico, magíster en Estadística; c licenciada en Nutrición Humana, magíster en Nutrición Pública. El presente estudio forma parte de la tesis de Juan Pablo Aparco para obtener el grado de Magister en Nutrición RESUMENObjetivos. Evaluar el impacto de la suplementación con micronutrientes en polvo (MNP) en la reducción de anemia en niños de 10 a 35 meses de edad de Apurímac, Perú. Materiales y métodos. Se realizó un análisis secundario de la base de datos de la Evaluación de suplementación con MNP en la región de Apurímac, realizada por el Centro Nacional de Alimentación y Nutrición (CENAN) entre 2009 y 2010. Se definió como grupo de intervención a los niños que consumieron 60 o más sobres de MNP, para generar los controles (niños sin consumo de MNP) aplicamos un propensity score matching (PSM), y en la estimación del impacto de los MNP comparamos la prevalencia de anemia en cada grupo de estudio, ponderada por la probabilidad de participación, aplicando tres algoritmos de emparejamiento: vecino más cercano, kernel y regresión lineal local. Todos los cálculos se realizaron en el programa estadístico Stata 14 SE. Resultados. La prevalencia de anemia fue significativamente menor hasta en 11 puntos porcentuales en el grupo de intervención comparado con los controles (p=0,001) y que el promedio de hemoglobina aumentó en 0,3 g/dL en el mismo grupo (p<0,001). Conclusiones. La suplementación con MNP mostró impacto para reducir la anemia e incrementar el nivel de hemoglobina en niños que consumieron 60 o más sobres de MNP en un periodo de seis meses. Se deben continuar los esfuerzos por reducir la anemia empleando los MNP para prevenir esta deficiencia nutricional.Palabras clave: Anemia; Hierro; Micronutrientes; Evaluación del Impacto en la Salud; Niño (fuente: DeCS BIREME). ABSTRACTObjective. Objective. To assess the impact of micronutrient powder supplementation (MNP) in reducing anemia in children aged 10 to 35 months in Apurimac, Peru. Materials and Methods. A secondary analysis of the database of the Evaluation of supplementation with MNP in the Apurímac region, conducted by the National Food and Nutrition Center (CENAN, in Spanish) between 2009 and 2010, was conducted. The intervention group was defined as children who consumed 60 or more packets of MNP; to generate the controls (children who did not consume MNP), we applied a propensity score matching (PSM); and, to estimate the impact of the MNP, we compared the prevalence of anemia in each study group, weighted by the probability of participation, applying three matching algorithms: nearest neighbor, kernel and local linear regression. All calculations were performed in the Stata 14 SE statistical program. Results. The prevalence of anemia was significantly lower by up to 11 percentage points in the intervention group compared to controls (p=0.001), and mean hemoglobin increased by 0.3 g/dL in the same group (p<0.001). Conclusions. MNP supplementation showed impact in reducing anemia and in...
