To describe the prevalence of anemia in Mexican children and adolescents from ENSANUT 2012.
Data had the power to make distinctions at the national, regional and rural/urban dwelling. Hemoglobin was measured by Hemocue. Descriptions were made by adjusted frequencies and 95%CI. Confounders were tested in a logistic regression models.
The prevalence of anemia in 2012 was: in children 1-4 y, 23.3%; 5-11y, 10.1%, and 12-19 y, 5.6%. The prevalence in female adolescents was 7.7% and 3.6% in males. Reductions in the prevalence of anemia from 1999 was 8.3pp in <5y, 5.1pp in children 5-11y and 3.6pp from 2006 in adolescents.
Despite the decrease in the prevalence of anemia in children 1-4 y in the last 13 years, it still is of great concern. There is a need of awareness among social and medical communities about this, to extend the distribution of micronutrient supplements in children <3y, and to promote nutritional education to incentive mothers to provide foods rich in iron.
描述2012年全国健康与营养调查(ENSANUT)中墨西哥儿童和青少年贫血症的患病率。
数据具有区分全国、地区以及农村/城市居住情况的能力。血红蛋白采用Hemocue进行测量。通过调整频率和95%置信区间进行描述。在逻辑回归模型中对混杂因素进行检验。
2012年贫血症患病率为:1 - 4岁儿童为23.3%;5 - 11岁儿童为10.1%,12 - 19岁青少年为5.6%。女性青少年患病率为7.7%,男性为3.6%。与1999年相比,<5岁儿童贫血症患病率下降了8.3个百分点,5 - 11岁儿童下降了5.1个百分点,青少年自2006年起下降了3.6个百分点。
尽管过去13年里1 - 4岁儿童贫血症患病率有所下降,但仍令人高度担忧。社会和医疗界需要对此提高认识,扩大对<3岁儿童微量营养素补充剂的发放,并开展营养教育以促使母亲提供富含铁的食物。
