“…Recent epidemiological studies which we performed in Benin (Hercberg et al 1986(Hercberg et al , 1987a(Hercberg et al , b, 1988 countries does not meet the physiological requirements of large proportions of the population. Absorption studies would be particularly useful for correlating the prevalance of Fe deficiency in a population with certain types of diets and as a guide in fortification programs.…”

Iron absorption from three typical West African meals was measured in fourteen subjects using the extrinsic-tag technique with s9Fe and 55Fe. All meals consisted of maize as the staple food. Meals were prepared in Benin under realistic conditions from locally grown foods. Of the non-haem-Fe in the meals 3 5 7 3 % did not exchange with the added inorganic radio-Fe tracer, depending on the degree of Fe contamination of meals. Non-haem-Fe absorption was low in each maize meal, but was even lower for those eaten with a vegetable sauce than for those eaten with a fish sauce. When haem-Fe absorption was included, 700-160 pg Fe was absorbed. Expressed on an energy basis, the bioavailable nutrient density was 3.2-70 pg/lOO kJ (13.4-29.5 ,ug/lOO kcal). These findings suggest that total Fe available in the typical diets of West African countries does not meet the physiological requirements of large proportions of the population.Food iron absorption : Contamination iron: African meals

“…For these reasons, additional indicators of deficiency have been advocated, such as serum ferritin, transferrin saturation, and erythrocyte protoporphyrin (21)(22)(23). When multiple indicators of iron status are used, anemia prevalence estimates are lower (24). Multiple indicators, however, are unusual in large population surveys.…”

“…Entretanto, os estudos recentes parecem sugerir que as parasitoses têm importância secundária na etiologia da anemia ferropriva em menores de cinco anos, uma vez que estas infestações ocorrem principalmente entre crianças de idade mais elevada, nas quais os dados revelam serem as mais protegidas contra a anemia 15,78 .…”

Artigo submetido em 22.01.02, aceito em 15.04.02. ResumoObjetivo: apresentar uma revisão sobre os principais fatores determinantes da anemia em crianças menores de cinco anos. Fontes de dados:foram utilizadas as informações de artigos publicados em revistas científicas nacionais e internacionais indexadas, livros técnicos e publicações de organizações internacionais.Síntese dos dados: a anemia constitui o problema nutricional de maior magnitude no mundo, sendo as crianças menores de cinco anos um dos grupos populacionais de maior risco. Como qualquer problema de saúde pública, sua origem é multicausal e, desta maneira, tenta-se nesse artigo interpretar a sua relação direta ou indireta com seus possíveis fatores determinantes, e os principais achados concordantes ou discordantes nos estudos epidemiológicos. Dentre esses fatores encontram-se as condições socioeconômicas, as condições de assistência à saúde da criança, seu estado nutricional, a presença de morbidades, o consumo alimentar e os fatores biológicos. Destacam-se o papel da dieta, no que diz respeito ao consumo e biodisponibilidade de ferro, e a idade da criança como os principais determinantes.Conclusões: tendo em vista a magnitude do problema e a abrangência de seus fatores de risco revisados neste trabalho, tornase necessária a implementação de medidas urgentes de prevenção e tratamento da anemia ferropriva. É importante ressaltar que uma única estratégia poderá ter pouco sucesso se outras medidas não forem tomadas simultaneamente, sendo relevante o papel da educação alimentar, juntamente com outras ações implementadas. As crianças menores de dois anos e as que residem em áreas rurais e carentes devem ser priorizadas nos programas de combate à anemia.J Pediatr (Rio J) 2002; 78 (4):269-78: anemia, hemoglobina, fatores determinantes, criança. AbstractObjective: to present a review about the main determining factors of anemia in children under 5 years old.Source of data: information was collected from articles published in indexed national and international scientific journals, technical books and publications of international organizations. Summary of the findings:anemia constitutes the world's nutritional problem of great magnitude, and children under 5 years old form the group with the highest risk. Similarly to any other public health problem, the origin of anemia is multi-causal. Therefore, in this article the attempt is to interpret its direct or indirect relation with possible determinant factors and the main concordant or discordant findings in epidemiological studies. Social and economic conditions, child's health care conditions, child's nutritional state, presence of morbidity, food consumption and biological aspects are among these factors. The role of the diet is emphasized with respect to the consumption and bioavailability of iron, and child's age as the main determinants.Conclusions: bearing in mind the magnitude of the problem and the extent of its risk factors reviewed in this study, the implementation of urgent prevention and treatment...
