Coexistence of anemia and vitamin A deficiency in women of childbearing age in the Northeast region of Brazil
Palabras clave:
Anemia, Vitamin A deficiency, WomenResumen
Objective
The aim of this study was to investigate the association between anemia and vitamin A deficiency in women of childbearing age in Pernambuco, a state in the Brazilian Northeast.
Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted making a secondary database analysis of “The Third State Survey on Health and Nutrition” done from May to September 2006. Data were collected from 761 women of childbearing age (10-49 years).
Results
The simultaneous occurrence of the two deficiencies was found in only seven women (0.9%). The prevalence of anemia was of 15.1%, and of vitamin A deficiency, 8.2%. There was no association between the two conditions (p=0.380), although a positive correlation was found between retinol levels and hemoglobin concentration (r=0.13).
Conclusion
Anemia and vitamin A deficiency did not coexist. Anemia was considered a mild public health problem, while vitamin A deficiency was not considered an epidemiological problem.
