Prevalencia de anemia en escolares de la zona amazónica de Ecuador

Abstract: Anemia is not a serious public health problem in the population studied. Nevertheless, the high prevalence of chronic undernutrition among the children points to the need to improve their diets. The lack of association between the prevalence of undernutrition and anemia could be due to low iron bioavailability or absorption rather than insufficient intake. Studies are needed to evaluate the customary diet of this population.

“…Método de muestreo.-La muestra se calculó de acuerdo con la prevalencia de parasitosis reportada en artículos científicos realizados en el país en años anteriores (entre 25 %-82 %) (Quyshpe et al 2003;Iannacone 2006), además se cotejó con estimaciones reportadas en otros Parasitosis intestinal en niños de Quito Tarupi et al 2018 países latinoamericanos (Hagel et al 2001;Andrade 2001); es decir, con una prevalencia esperada de 50 %, con un nivel de confianza del 95 % (α=0,05) y un efecto de diseño de 1. La muestra calculada fue de 385 participantes.…”
