ABSTRACT:
INTRODUCTION:
Anemia is defined as a condition in which hemoglobin levels are below the normal range. Among
children and adolescents, iron deficiency is responsible for most cases. Iron is an essential compound for the production of red
blood cells and transportation of oxygen, as well as for the integration of the enzymatic systems of different tissues. Patients with
iron deficiency anemia may have impaired cognitive, physical and immune development, thus increasing the risk of infections and
even death. This is a cross-sectional study to analyze the prevalence of anemia and its impact on school and nutritional
performance among elementary school adolescents aged between 10 and 14 years from May 2019 to October 2019.
METHODS:
The diagnostic criteria for anemia are: between 5 and 11 years, hemoglobin < 11.5 g/dl and hematocrit < 34%; from 12 to 14 years
old, hemoglobin < 12g/dl and hematocrit 36%. For school performance, data from the students individual report card were used
and the average of the subjects was considered
RESULTS:
The prevalence of anemia was 9.8%.As for school performance,
students with anemia had an average grade of 5.8, while students without anemia had an average of 6.8, showing a statistically
significant difference (p = 0.02). There was also greater absenteeism among students with anemia, 16.1% of absences, compared
to those without anemia, 10.44% of absences (p = 0.02).
CONCLUSION:
The impact on anemia in school performance, correlating
it to absenteeism and grades, which reinforces the importance of self-care, a balanced diet and health promotion.
