ABSTRACT

Objetivos. Determinar el efecto del consumo de un suplemento nutricional a base de lípidos (LNS) sobre los niveles de hemoglobina, anemia e indicadores antropométricos, en niños de seis a once meses de edad de cinco distritos en la provincia de Ambo del departamento de Huánuco, Perú. Materiales y métodos. Se efectuó un estudio preexperimental, pre-post. La población de estudio fueron niños de seis a once meses de edad de 19 establecimientos de salud de cinco distritos con muy alta vulnerabilidad a la desnutrición crónica de la provincia de Ambo, Huánuco; se obtuvieron datos de 147 niños que recibieron suplemento nutricional a base de lípidos (LNS) desde los seis a los once meses de edad. Resultados . El promedio de hemoglobina se incrementó significativamente en 0,67 g/dL (p<0,05), la proporción de anemia se redujo en 27 puntos porcentuales (p<0,001) y el promedio del puntaje z para talla/edad disminuyó en 0,12 (p<0,05) y no se encontraron diferencias significativas para los puntajes z de peso/edad y peso/talla al finalizar el estudio. El LNS tuvo una adherencia, superior al 90%, y menos del 10% de los niños del estudio reportaron molestias durante el consumo. Conclusiones . La suplementación con LNS logro mejorar los niveles de hemoglobina y reducir la prevalencia de anemia en niños menores de doce meses, por lo que podría constituir una alternativa efectiva para prevenir y controlar la anemia infantil.


Objectives. To determine the effect of consumption of a lipid-based nutrient supplement (LNS) on hemoglobin levels, anemia and anthropometric indicators in children aged six to eleven months old in five districts in the province of Ambo in the region of Huanuco, Peru. Materials and methods. A pre-experimental, pre-post study was performed. The study population included children aged six to eleven months old in 19 health facilities in five districts with very high vulnerability to chronic malnutrition in the province of Ambo, Huanuco. Data from 147 children who received the lipid-based nutrient supplement (LNS) from six to eleven months old were obtained. Results. The mean hemoglobin significantly increased by 0.67 g/dL (p<0.05), the proportion of anemia dropped by 27 percentage points (p<0.001) and the mean z score for height/age decreased by 0.12 (p<0.05). No significant differences for z scores of weight/age and weight/height at the end of the study were found. The LNS had an adherence greater than 90%, and less than 10% of children in the study reported discomfort during consumption. Conclusions. LNS supplementation achieved improved hemoglobin levels and reduced the prevalence of anemia in children under twelve months, which might constitute an effective alternative to prevent and control childhood anemia.

ABSTRACT

Se estudiaron 1855 niños de ambos sexos comprendidos entre los 5 a 11 años de edad, que asisten al primer grado de escolaridad, de 102 Centros Educativos Estatales(C.E.E) ubicados en los once distritos que conforman la provincia de Celendín del departamento de Cajamarca. Se utilizó la relación Talla/Edad para determinar prevalencia de desnutrición crónica. La toma de información y de análisis se hicieron siguiendo los lineamientos aceptados internacionalmente. La prevalencia de desnutrición crónica alcanza a 74 por ciento para la provincia de Celendín, existiendo distritos como Sorocucho, Cortegana y Oxamarca que pasan del 80 por ciento. La diferencia de las tallas encontradas en relación a la talla de referencia llega a 20 cm para los niños de 10 años. En conclusión podemos decir que con el censo de tallas en escolares se conoce la magnitud y distribución de la desnutrición crónica que es el mayor problema nutricional del Perú.

ABSTRACT

A prospective epidemiologic survey of pregnant women carried out in Guatemala City in 1984-1986 sought to develop a method for identifying mothers at high risk of delivering low birth weight infants as early in gestation as possible. Although the basic data come from a single hospital, the Gynecology and Obstetrics Hospital of the Guatemalan Institute of Social Security (IGSS), they are representative of a major segment of the urban population of this city. All pregnant women (17 135) attending the prenatal clinic at the IGSS Hospital between 1 April 1984 and 10 January 1986 were included in the study. Women who delivered at the IGSS Hospital but were not enrolled in the study included those who had not received any prenatal care and others that had received prenatal care outside the IGSS system or at the IGSS peripheral clinics. This article provides detailed information about the study population, data collection system, standardized collection procedures, and data quality control processes. The authors recommend using standardized procedures for the collection of data in all perinatal epidemiological studies and analysing the reliability of the data by methods such as those described in this report. They also suggest reducing the amount of information routinely collected, periodically incorporating pertinent variables, and organizing local or hospital-based systems for data analysis
