| contents | Nutritional determinants as potential contributors to anemia in children and adolescents with malaria by P. vivax Bianca da Conceição Cabral Rosa Maria Dias José Luiz Fernandes Vieira Fernanda Maria Lima Moura Marcieni Ataide de Andrade Salud Anemia Plasmodium vivax Food Consumption Nutritional Status Background and Objectives: Nutrition, in addition to its physiological function, plays an important role in the recovery of individuals with malaria, a disease that still represents a serious public health problem in the world. The objective of this study was to assess nutritional determinants in the frequency of food intake and the occurrence of anemia in children and adolescents with P. vivax malaria. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was carried out between 2014 and 2015 in the Marajo Island. The hemoglobin level was measured by the colorimetric enzymatic reaction and a questionnaire of food intake frequency was used to assess the consumption of different types of food. Results: A total of 67 patients met the inclusion criteria, from which 62.7% were children and 37.3% were adolescents. There was a high consumption of ultra-processed foods in both age groups. Anemia occurred in 52.2% of patients, and in most of them it was moderate. There was no significant association between anemia and sex, age group or parasitemia at admission. However a significant association was found between anemia and the ingestion of ultra-processed foods. Conclusion: The ingestion of ultra-processed foods contributes to anemia in children and adolescent with malaria by P. vivax. 2021 artículo científico 2238-3360 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=570471461007 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570471461007/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570471461007/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570471461007/570471461007.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570471461007/movil https://doi.org/10.17058/reci.v1i1.15133 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5704 Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção application/pdf Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.11 |
