Objetivo. Mostrar la prevalencia de anemia crónica en gestantes según nivel educativo y según procedencia geográfica urbana o rural. Material y métodos. Análisis de una base de datos (Sistema Informático Perinatal, una base de datos proporcionada por el Centro Latinoamericano de Perinatología) de los años 2001 a 2010 que incluye un total de 27 184 embarazos, mediante la elaboración de cuadros y la aplicación de pruebas de significancia estadística. Resultados. La prevalencia de anemia crónica en las gestantes fue 23,7 % como promedio de la década, pero fue 27 %en las gestantes urbanas y 10,1 % en las gestantes de poblaciones rurales recientes (OR 3,28; IC 95%; 2,66-4,04; p =0,0000001). Según nivel de estudios: ninguno 24,1 %; primaria 20,4 %; secundaria 24,6 %; y, superior 22,4 %. Conclusión. Se encontró mayor prevalencia de anemia crónica en las gestantes urbanas que e...

OBJETIVE : To evaluate glycemic and aciduremia in the umbilical vessels at birth and their relationship with the Apgar score DESIGN: Prospective, observational study of double-blind. Location: Regional Hospital of Huacho. MATERIALS AND METHODS: aciduricemia glycemia and umbilical vein and artery of newborns (NB) with normal one minute (RNAN1, n = 44) Apgar and newborns with low Apgar score at one minute (RNAB1, n = 16) was measured whose mothers had received intravenous infusion of sodium chloride 0.9% for labor; the results were statistically associated with Apgar scores of newborns. Glucose was also measured in RNAN1 whose mothers did not receive intravenous infusion (n = 1O). RESULTS: RNAN1 whose mothers received NaCl 0.9% had lower blood sugar than those whose mothers did not receive intravenous infusion, not being statistically significant at the p <0.05 level (p = 0.097). The RABN1...

Objective:To determine the relationship between anemia suffered by a generation as children and their performance in the PISA test at 15 years of age. Material and methods:The score that young people in each country obtained in the PISA 2018 test was related to the prevalence of childhood anemia in 2005, the Gross National Income per capita and the Expected Years of Schooling of the Human Development Index of the year 2018. Results:The score obtained in the PISA test is related to anemia as children, the Gross National Income per capita and the Expected Years of Schooling (Educational Effort) with determination coefficients (r2) of 0.5168, 0.1951 and 0.3536, respectively. Conclusion:The score obtained in the PISA test is associated more strongly with the prevalence of anemia that this generation suffered when they were children than with any other current economic or social factor.
