ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To describe the anemia prevalence among women from 20 to 49 years from 2016-Halfway National Health and Nutrition Survey (Ensanut MC 2016) and compare the trends in 2006, 2012 and 2016 surveys, as well as its association with dietary iron and sociodemographic factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The methodological design of Ensanut MC is fully comparable with Ensanut 2006 and 2012. Capillary hemoglobin (Hb) was obtained and those values <120 g/L were classified as anemic. Pregnant women were excluded from the analysis. RESULTS: Anemia prevalence is higher in Ensanut MC 2016 when compared with Ensanut 2012 (p<0.001), differences can be found by age-groups, locality (urban-rural) and country region (North, Center, Mexico City and South). Logistic model showed an increase in anemia prevalence in 2016. CONCLUSIONS: Anemia decreas from 2006 to 2012 was followed by an increas in 2016. It is necessary to identify potential risk factors that could be promoting anemia prevalence rising as well as estimate the iron-rich foods intake whit 24 hours recall.
OBJETIVO: Describir la prevalencia de anemia en mujeres de 20 a 49 años de edad, según la Encuesta Nacional de Salud y Nutrición de Medio Camino 2016 (Ensanut MC 2016), y comparar su tendencia con la registrada en las Encuestas Nacionales de Salud (Ensanut) 2006 y 2012, así como su asociación con la presencia de hierro en la dieta y factores sociodemográficos. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: La Ensanut MC 2016 tiene un diseño metodológico comparable con el de las Ensanut 2006 y 2012. Se obtuvo hemoglobina (Hb) capilar y se clasificó anemia con valores de Hb <120g/L. Se excluyó a las embarazadas. RESULTADOS: La prevalencia de anemia resultó mayor en la Ensanut MC 2016 que en la Ensanut 2012 (p<0.001) y difirió por grupos de edad, área (urbano-rural) y región (Norte, Centro, Ciudad de México y Sur). El modelo logístico mostró un incremento de la prevalencia de anemia en 2016. CONCLUSIONES: La reducción de anemia, de 2006 a 2012, fue seguida de un incremento en 2016. Es necesario identificar otros factores de riesgo que estén favoreciendo en el aumento de la prevalencia de anemia y evaluar la ingesta de alimentos ricos en hierro, mediante un cuestionario de recordatorio de 24 horas.

UNLABELLED: Assessment of dietetic management is necessary for detection/correction of faults and best care of patients. AIM: Our aim was to evaluate dietetic management and nutritional status of gastroenterologic patients. METHODS: Anthropometric, clinical-nutritional, biochemical, and dietetic parameters were assessed in 110 patients (150 with liver cirrhosis [LC], 30 with inflammatory bowel disease [IBD], and 30 with chronic and skin. In CP, prescribed energy, g and % carbohydrates and lipids were less than ideal and proteins were greater; in cirrhotics, less proteins and a great % of carbohydrates were prescribed; in IBD fewer lipids and more proteins than ideal were prescribed. Cirrhotics usually consumed less fat (g) and more proteins than prescribed, and patients with CP and IBD a greater amount of carbohydrates than prescribed. Cirrhotics consumed more % carbohydrates and < % lipids than ideal; CP patients lipid intake was less and protein intake above ideal and in IBD, carbohydrate intake was greater and lipid intake lower than ideal. CONCLUSIONS: Anthropometric and biochemical parameters were not useful for assessment of these patients. Prescribed diet was too restricted regarding proteins in LC and was inadequate in energy/nutrients in patients with CP. Fewer lipids and more proteins were prescribed in IBD. The inadequacy of prescripted diet, lack of information regarding the person who prescribed it, and lack of constant supervision may cause non-adherence to diet and thus may affect nutritional status.
