Abstract:

This study sought to identify in preschool children the association between hemoglobin concentration and socio-environmental, maternal, biological-nutritional and health conditions characteristics; as well as the concentrations of serum zinc and retinol. Cross sectional study with 335 individuals, a representative sample of children enrolled in child day care centers in the city of Campina Grande, Paraíba. In the 294 children studied, the adjusted model showed lower concentrations of hemoglobin when the house was not made of bricks; there was no sewerage system; not public garbage collection; not treatment of drinking water; maternal difficulties for reading, writing and making calculations; age between 9 - 24 months; weight/age < - 2 escore Z and health problems in the last 15 days, as well as in cases of lower concentrations of zinc and retinol serum. Multicausality lower hemoglobin understood socio-environmental conditions and child-maternal characteristics that reinforce the importance of measures that prioritize the younger children, from mothers with lower education levels and prejudiced in their weight, health and nutritional status of other important micronutrients on growth.
