description Introduction. Anemia in children is a public health problem in Uruguay, being iron deficiency anemia the most frequent etiology. The anemia prevalence is higher in regions or cities different to Montevideo. However, there is no specific data from the Salto city. Objectives. Determine and compare the prevalence of anemia in children aged 6 to 48 months from two educational institutions (CAIFs) in the city of Salto and analyze the associated risk factors. Methodology. The hemoglobin levels were determined by digital puncture in 240 children of two CAIFs, the perinatal data were obtained from the child›s card and a survey to family was used to obtain ancestry data. Results The prevalence of anemia was 22.5% in the entire sample, being slightly higher in CAIF2 (27.4%) than in CAIF1 (18.4%). The frequency of anemia is significantly lower in children who had exclusive breastfeeding until 6 months of age, while the other variables analyzed were not associated with anemia. Conclusions. The prevalence of anemia observed is lower than 2011 suggesting that the policies of iron fortification of food and administration of prophylactic iron to children between 6 and 24 months has been positive. Additionally, the lower anemia frequency observed in CAIF1 than observed in CAIF2 indicates the importance of coordinated action between health services, educative institutions and society.

Introducción. La anemia en los niños es un problema de salud pública importante en nuestro país, siendo la anemia por deficiencia de hierro la más frecuente. La frecuencia de anemia en el interior del país es mayor a lo observado en Montevideo. Sin embargo, no existen datos específicos del Departamento de Salto. Objetivos. Determinar la prevalencia de anemia en niños y niñas de 6 a 48 meses que concurren a dos Centros de Atención a la Primera Infancia (CAIF) de la ciudad de Salto y analizar los factores asociados. Metodología. Se determino los niveles de hemoglobina por punción digital en 240 niños de dos CAIF, se relevaron los antecedentes perinatales del carnet del niño/a y datos de ancestralidad por medio de una encuesta a los responsables de los niños. Resultados. La prevalencia de anemia fue de 22,5% en toda la muestra, siendo levemente mayor en el CAIF2 (27,4%) que en el CAIF1(18,4%). La frecuencia de anemia es significativamente menor en los niños que tuvieron lactancia materna exclusiva hasta los 6 meses de edad, mientras que las restantes variables analizadas no presentaron asociación con la anemia. Conclusiones. La disminución observada de la frecuencia de anemia comparada con lo reportado en 2011 sugiere que las políticas de fortificación con hierro de los alimentos y de administración de hierro profiláctico a niños entre 6 y 24 meses ha sido positiva.   Adicionalmente, la menor frecuencia de anemia observada en el CAIF1 indica la importancia de la acción coordinada entre los servicios de salud y la sociedad. Introdução. A anemia é um problema de saúde pública importante em nosso pais, sendo a anemia por deficiência de ferro a mais frequente. A frequência de anemia no interior do pais é maior ao observado em Montevideo. Porém, não existem dados específicos do Departamento de Salto. Objetivos. Determinar a prevalência de anemia em crianças de 6 a 48 meses que concorrem a dois Centros de Atenção da Primeira Infância (CAIF) da cidade do Salto e analisar os fatores de risco associado. Metodologia. Determinaramse os níveis de hemoglobina por punção digital em 240 crianças dos CAIF, relevaramse os antecedentes perinatais das carteiras das crianças e os dados de ancestralidade por médio de um questionário aos responsáveis das crianças. Resultados. Na amostra completa, a prevalência de anemia foi de 22,5%, com uma porcentagem levemente maior no CAIF2 (24,4%) em comparação com o CAIF1 (18,4%). A frequência de anemia foi significativamente menor nas crianças que tiveram lactância materna exclusiva até os 6 meses de idade, entanto que o resto das variáveis analisadas não apresentaram associações com à anemia. Conclusão. A diminuição observada da frequência de anemia quando comparada com o reportado em 2011 sugere que as políticas de fortificação com ferro dos alimentos e de administração profilática com ferro em crianças entre 6 e 24 meses tem sido positiva. Adicionalmente, a menor frequência de anemia observada no CAIF1 indica a importância da ação coordenada entre os serviços de saúde e sociedade. Escuela de Salud Pública y Ambiente. Fac. Cs.
