The sample was made up of 105 children, who were applied the variables weight, height and hemoglobin determination. To process the information descriptive statistics was used, expressing the values in frequencies and percentages.Results: 22 % of the children presented anemia (16,2 % moderate and 5,8 % mild). In the 23 cases the diagnosis was iron-deficiency anemia. 39,05 % of all the children were thin and 50,48 % had a normal weight. Only about 10 % of the children were obese and overweight. 81,13 % of the children with normal weight according to height presented normal values in their hemoglobin levels. 17 % of the cases of anemia were moderate and only 2 % were mild.Conclusions: nutritional status and hemoglobin levels were described in the sample of children included in the study. |
