description ObjectiveTo carry out the anthropometric and biometric-hematological assessments in schoolchildren of the Andean region of Ecuador, in order to improve the diagnosis of nutritional deficiencies. MethodsThe study has been carried out in the San Juan School (Chimborazo, Ecuador), located at 3,240m of altitude, to 36 children of 5 and 6 years old. Anthropometric analyses (weight, height and body mass index), and hematocrit and hemoglobin concentrations were measured. The hemoglobin measurement was evaluated considering the normal value and the one adapted to the altitude of the area. ResultsThe schoolchildren showed high prevalence of stunting (44%). The values of hematocrit (p=0.001) and hemoglobin (p=0.003) were higher in girls. It should be highlighted that using the normal value of hemoglobin, anemia was not detected. However almost a fifth of the schoolchildren studied were diagnosed with anemia when we applied the correction factors adapted to the altitude. ConclusionThe use of correction factors adapted to the altitude is considered essential to do the hematology test in populations that live in high altitude in order to avoid a false diagnosis. Moreover, it is necessary to establish the environmental factors related to the stunted growth of this population of the Andean region.

MétodosO estudo foi realizado na escola San Juan (Chimborazo, Equador), localizada a 3240 metros acima do nível do mar, a 36 crianças de 5 e 6 anos de idade. Foram analisadas as medidas antropométricas (peso, altura e índice de massa corporal) e as concentrações de hemoglobina e hematócrito. A medida da hemoglobina foi avaliada considerando os valores absolutos e os corrigidos pela altura geográfica. ResultadosA população escolar apresentou alta prevalência de altura baixa (44%). Os valores de hematócrito (p=0,001) e hemoglobina (p=0,003) foram maiores nas meninas. Deve-se destacar que usando o valor normal da hemoglobina, a anemia não foi detectada. No entanto, quase um quinto dos escolares estudados foram diagnosticados com anemia quando os fatores de correção adaptados à altitude foram aplicados. ConclusãoO uso de fatores de correção adaptados à altitude é considerado fundamental ao fazer uma biometria a os habitantes da zona para evitar um diagnóstico errôneo. Além disso, é necessário estabelecer os fatores ambientais associados ao retardo do crescimento que existe nesta região dos Andes.Núcleo de Editoração – PUC-Campinas2023-03-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/7724Brazilian Journal of Nutrition; Vol. 30 No. 6 (2017): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; Vol. 30 Núm. 6 (2017): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; v. 30 n. 6 (2017): Revista de Nutrição1678-9865reponame:Revista de Nutriçãoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPenghttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/7724/5262Copyright (c) 2023 Ximena del Rocío ROBALINO FLORES, Aida Mercedes BALLADARES SALTOS, Marcela Esther GUERENDIAIN MARGNI, Fátima MORALES MARÍNhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessdel Rocío ROBALINO FLORES, Ximena Mercedes BALLADARES SALTOS, Aida GUERENDIAIN MARGNI, Marcela Esther MORALES MARÍN, Fátima 2023-03-21T14:55:51Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/7724Revistahttp://www.scielo.br/rnPRIhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/oai||sbi.submissionrn@puc-campinas.edu.br1678-98651415-5273opendoar:2023-03-21T14:55:51Revista de Nutrição - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
