A cross-sectional study of 93 children under one year assesses the prevalence of iron-deficiency anemia and vitamin A deficiency. The study found a 29.03% prevalence of anemia and a 19.10% prevalence of vitamin A deficiency, with low vitamin A values in 90.32% of children. It was authored by Mariane Alves Silva and uses statistical analysis from Stata 10.0 software.
Use Cases
- Assessing prevalence of iron-deficiency anemia based on hemoglobin levels below 11 g/dL
- Analyzing factors associated with vitamin A deficiency based on levels below 0.70 mMol/L
- Investigating associations between maternal characteristics (age, education, ethnicity) and child nutritional deficiencies
- Evaluating the prevalence of inadequate dietary intake of iron and vitamin A
Strengths
- Prevalence figures are explicitly stated: 29.03% for anemia and 19.10% for vitamin A deficiency
- Study design and sample size (93 children) are clearly defined in the description
- Specific clinical cutoff points for hemoglobin (<11 g/dL) and vitamin A (<0.70 mMol/L) are provided
