To describe de prevalence of iron deficiency (ID) and anemia in a sample of Mexican elderly population from the National Health and Nutrition Survey (Ensanut) 2012.
1 920 subjects ≥60 years of age were included. Hemoglobin, serum concentrations of ferritin and CRP were measured. The risk for ID and anemia adjusted for potential confounders was assessed in logistic regression models.
The overall prevalence of anemia was 13.9%, 15.2% in males and 12.8% females. For ID, overall it was 4.2%, males 4.0% and females 4.3%. The greatest prevalence of ID was found in males and females over 80 years old (6.9 and 7.0%, respectively). ID was present in 1.5 of 10 Mexican elders with anemia.
The prevalence of anemia was high in the elderly, however the prevalence of ID was low; there is a need to further investigate the causes of anemia in this age group.
描述2012年全国健康与营养调查(Ensanut)中墨西哥老年人群样本中铁缺乏(ID)和贫血的患病率。
纳入1920名60岁及以上的受试者。测量血红蛋白、血清铁蛋白和CRP浓度。在逻辑回归模型中评估调整潜在混杂因素后的ID和贫血风险。
贫血的总体患病率为13.9%,男性为15.2%,女性为12.8%。ID总体患病率为4.2%,男性为4.0%,女性为4.3%。80岁以上男性和女性的ID患病率最高(分别为6.9%和7.0%)。每10名贫血的墨西哥老年人中有1.5人存在ID。
老年人贫血患病率较高,但ID患病率较低;有必要进一步调查该年龄组贫血的原因。
