ABSTRACT

El déficit de hierro ha sido señalado como la causa más frecuente de anemia en el mundo, tanto en países con bajo grado de desarrollo como en los altamente industrializados. En Cuba, la anemia ferropénica constituye un problema de salud que afecta fundamentalmente a lactantes mayores, adolescentes, mujeres en edad fértil y embarazadas. Se revisó la bibliografía especializada desde elementos nutricionales, balance y metabolismo del hierro hasta aspectos socioculturales que inciden directa e indirectamente en esa condición. Lo revisado y compilado en este artículo sentó pautas para una intervención educativa, durante la cual se demostró la validez de acciones específicas para enfrentar el problema identificado.


The iron deficiency has been pointed out as the most frequent cause of anemia in the world, both in countries with low level of development and in the highly industrialized ones. In Cuba, the iron-deficiency anemia constitutes a problem of health that affects fundamentally older infants, adolescents, women in fertile age and pregnant women. The specialized bibliography was reviewed from nutritional elements, balance and iron metabolism to sociocultural aspects that impact direct and indirectly on that condition. What was reviewed and compiled in this article stated rules for an educational intervention, during which the validity of specific actions was demonstrated to face the identified problem.
