缺铁性贫血(Iron deficiency anemia,IDA)是小儿最常见的一种营养性疾病。据世界卫生组织报道成人的发病数为10%,妇女为20%,小儿50%以下,2岁以下婴儿达90%。我国患病率为37.9%,个别地区高达97%以上。由于IDA患病率高,对儿童的健康危害甚大,因此调查该病的现状是做好防治工作的前提。我们于1988年3～4月间在南宁市几所托幼机构中对学龄前儿童进行了贫血状况和膳食调查,研究儿童贫血与膳食营养素摄入情况之间的关系,以便为今后防治儿童缺铁性贫血提供科学依据。 Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is one of the most common nutritional diseases in children. According to the World Health Organization, the incidence of adult morbidity is 10%, 20% for women, 50% for infants and 90% for infants under 2 years of age. The prevalence in our country is 37.9%, up to 97% in some areas. Because of the high prevalence rate of IDA and the great harm to children’s health, investigating the status quo of this disease is a prerequisite for prevention and treatment. We conducted anemia and dietary surveys of preschool-aged children in several nurseries in Nanning between March and April 1988 to study the relationship between children’s anemia and dietary nutrient intake in order to provide evidence for the future prevention and treatment of children Iron anemia provide a scientific basis.
