Resumo:
Iron deficiency anaemia can be considered the most important nutritional deficiency in Brazil. We conduct a systematic review of the literature in order to describe the frequency of anaemia in indigenous women and children in Brazil, and understand any associated factors. We conducted a systematic search of the databases PubMed, Scopus and Lilacs. Seventeen studies were selected. The anaemia prevalence rates ranged from 23.1%-74.6%; 42.9%-92.3% and 29.6%-84%, for children aged six to 119 months, six to 23 months and six to 59 months respectively. Two studies were conducted with women of childbearing age and found rates of 67% in Suruí women and 16.1% among Xukuru of Ororubá. The majority of authors attribute the prevalence of anaemia to inadequate sanitary conditions, inadequate iron essential micronutrients in their diet, and a lack of access to basic health services. The findings highlight the importance of anaemia among the studied indigenous peoples, which has been reflected by an increase in research over the last twenty years.
