          Abstract

          Analisaram-se prevalência e fatores associados à anemia em mães (n = 1.022) e seus filhos (n = 1.242) menores de 5 anos em Pernambuco, Brasil, 2006. Estudo transversal, populacional, com amostra probabilística representativa do meio urbano e rural. Diagnóstico de anemia determinado pelo nível de hemoglobina < 11g/dL (crianças) e < 12g/dL (mulheres), dosagem feita pelo HemoCue. Análises uni e multivariadas realizadas por regressão de Poisson com ajuste robusto do erro padrão, adotando-se para crianças modelo hierárquico de determinação do desfecho. Este procedimento não foi aplicado às mães, pelo pequeno número de fatores associados nas análises univariadas. Prevalência de anemia foi 16,4% e 34,4%, em mães e filhos, respectivamente. Mães anêmicas comparadas às mães com níveis normais de hemoglobina apresentaram RP = 1,44 (IC95%: 1,21-1,72) em relação ao risco de anemia em seus filhos, praticamente se mantendo no modelo ajustado (RP = 1,39; IC95%: 1,16-1,66). A prevalência de anemia nos filhos foi o dobro da registrada nas mães, encontrando-se, no modelo final, apenas um único fator comum para ambos: renda per capita familiar.

          Prevalence of anemia and associated factors were analyzed in mothers (n = 1,022) and their children under 5 years of age (n = 1,242) in Pernambuco State, Brazil, 2006. This was a cross-sectional population-based study with a probabilistic sample in an urban and rural area. Anemia was diagnosed by hemoglobin level (children < 11.0g/dL, women < 12.0g/dL) using HemoCue. Univariate and multivariate analyses used Poisson regression with robust adjustment of standard error, adopting a hierarchical model for determination in children with anemia as the outcome. This same procedure was not applied to mothers because of the small number of associated factors in the univariate analyses. Anemia prevalence was 16.4% in mothers and 34.4% in children. Anemic as compared to non-anemic mothers showed a prevalence ratio of 1.44 (95%CI: 1.21-1.72) for anemia in their children, maintaining similar values in the adjusted model (PR = 1.39: 95%CI: 1.16-1.66). Anemia prevalence in children was double that of mothers, with the final model showing only one common factor: per capita family income.

          Iron deficiency: global prevalence and consequences.

          Iron deficiency is considered to be one of most prevalent forms of malnutrition, yet there has been a lack of consensus about the nature and magnitude of the health consequences of iron deficiency in populations. This paper presents new estimates of the public health importance of iron-deficiency anemia (IDA), which were made as part of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2000 project. Iron deficiency is considered to contribute to death and disability as a risk factor for maternal and perinatal mortality, and also through its direct contributions to cognitive impairment, decreased work productivity, and death from severe anemia. Based on meta-analysis of observational studies, mortality risk estimates for maternal and perinatal mortality are calculated as the decreased risk in mortality for each 1 g/dl increase in mean pregnancy hemoglobin concentration. On average, globally, 50% of the anemia is assumed to be attributable to iron deficiency. Globally, iron deficiency ranks number 9 among 26 risk factors included in the GBD 2000, and accounts for 841,000 deaths and 35,057,000 disability-adjusted life years lost. Africa and parts of Asia bear 71% of the global mortality burden and 65% of the disability-adjusted life years lost, whereas North America bears 1.4% of the global burden. There is an urgent need to develop effective and sustainable interventions to control iron-deficiency anemia. This will likely not be achieved without substantial involvement of the private sector.
