Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Anemia is an indicator of poor nutritional and health status, which is associated with poor cognitive and neuromotor development in children. Iron deficiency anemia is also a health concern. Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency worldwide and an important public health problem, particularly in developing countries. The rate of anemia in general, and iron deficiency anemia in particular, in malnourished children is a problem that has been mentioned a lot in domestic and foreign medical literature. Objective: To determine the rate of iron deficiency anemia, describe the clinical and subclinical characteristics of iron deficiency anemia and some factors related to iron deficiency anemia in children under 5 years old at the nutrition department of Can Tho Children’s Hospital in the period of 2022 - 2023. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study with analysis and intervention on 293 children from 12 months old to 5 years old diagnosed with malnutrition examined at the Nutrition Department of Can Tho Children's Hospital. Subjects were drawn 3ml of blood to determine the content of Hb, Ferritin and serum iron. Iron deficiency anemia when Hb < 110 g/L, Ferritin < 12 ng/ml, serum iron < 9 μmol/L. Results: The rate of iron deficiency anemia in children under 5 years old at the nutrition department of Can Tho Children's Hospital was 24.2%. Some factors related to iron-deficiency anemia of children such as: periodic deworming, vitamin supplementation, children whose mothers do not know the foods supplemented with blood (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Children aged 13-24 months old: anemia, iron deficiency and underweight malnutrition accounted for a high rate. Nutritional interventions should be implemented to improve iron deficiency anemia and nutritional status of this subject.
