ABSTRACT
Son cuatro los nutrientes en que su deficiencia es importante en niños: hierro, yodo, vitamina A y zinc. Más o menos se calcula que hay 2 billones de personas en el mundo con algún grado de déficit de zinc. Los pacientes que están en riesgo de presentar deficiencias de zinc son los recién nacidos con bajo peso al nacimiento, bien sea prematuros, desnutridos in útero o hijos de madres desnutridas, en los cuales sus depósitos están reducidos. A diferencia de otros oligoelementos o micronutrientes, determinar el estado de déficit no es fácil. Los niveles séricos de zinc, están influenciados por factores no dietarios como infección, estrés o actividad física extenuante; al igual que por el ciclo circadiano.
