Abstract

Background: Anemia is a condition characterized by reduction in thevolume of red blood cells and a decrease in the blood concentration of haemoglobin (less than 11gm/dl). Haemoglobin is a main part of red blood cells and binds oxygen. This can lead to range of adverse symptoms. The most common cause of anemia worldwide is an iron deficiency. This study attempted to estimate the prevalence of anemia among children 6 to 59 months of age in Gadaref State, and to determine the related factors, which include socio demographic factors and nutritional status of children. Patients and Methods: A total of 384 children 6 to 59 months of age wereincluded in this cross sectional (community based) study in Gadaref State. The data was collected by interviewing mothers through questionnaire, clinical examination, and blood examination. Data was analyzed by the computer using SPSS.version16. Chi-Square test was used for testing significance. P=0.05 or less was considered statistically significant. Results: Forty eight percent of children were anemic; there is a significantrelation between anemia and nutrition of children in this age. Malnutrition was related to anemia in the affected children; 35.1 % of anemic children had mild malnutrition, 23.8% and17.3% had moderate and severe malnutrition subsequently. Social factors related to anemia in children in Gadaref State are: family income, size of the family and mother education. Conclusion The prevalence of anemia in children 6 to 59 months of age InGadaref State is high. It is more frequent in the age group of 23 months to 59 months; females are affected more than males. There is an association between anemia and nutritional status of children.

2013年苏丹gadaref州6至59个月儿童贫血患病率
背景:贫血是一种以红细胞体积减少和血红蛋白血浓度降低(低于11gm/dl)为特征的疾病。血红蛋白是红细胞的主要组成部分,并结合氧气。这可能导致一系列不良症状。全世界最常见的贫血原因是缺铁。本研究试图估计Gadaref州6 - 59月龄儿童贫血的患病率,并确定相关因素,包括社会人口因素和儿童营养状况。患者和方法:在Gadaref州,共有384名6至59个月大的儿童被纳入这项横断面(基于社区)研究。通过问卷调查、临床检查、血液检查等方式对母亲进行访谈。采用SPSS.version16软件对数据进行计算机分析。检验显著性采用卡方检验。P=0.05及以下被认为具有统计学意义。结果:48%的儿童贫血;该年龄段儿童贫血与营养状况有显著相关性。营养不良与受影响儿童贫血有关;35.1%的贫血儿童出现轻度营养不良,23.8%和17.3%的贫血儿童出现中度和重度营养不良。与Gadaref州儿童贫血有关的社会因素有:家庭收入、家庭规模和母亲的教育程度。结论加达列夫州6 ~ 59月龄儿童贫血患病率较高。在23个月至59个月的年龄组中更为常见;女性比男性更容易受到影响。儿童贫血与营养状况之间存在联系。
