ABSTRACT

Introduction: the minerals have an important role in the diet since they are related with diverse biological functions. Of the lacking illnesses of minerals the anemia for iron deficit has a high incidence in the world.
Objective: to characterize the clinical and biochemical changes in children under one year old, submitted to preventive and therapeutic treatment for anemia.
Method: a descriptive study with community intervention during the year 2012 was done.
Results: of 315 patients, 48 presented diagnose of slight anemia according to hemoglobin values (15.2 %). The clinical symptoms of more frequency were mucous cutaneous paleness (60.4 %) and normochromic normocitosis (68.7 %). The constants hemoglobin -corpuscular stockings (CHCM) were below 32 g/l. To all patients were indicated hygienic-dietary and preventive treatment with For-fer (200 mg of ferrous fumarate and 1 mg of folic acid) and for the anemic children also therapeutic treatment for the anemia. The hemoglobin increase had a media of 20.25 g/l in the anemic children and in those no anemic was 6.95 g/l. In six months of treatment the values of hemoglobin of both groups were similar, although one child maintained values of low hemoglobin.
Conclusions: the preventive treatment with the supplement For-fer allowed to reach normal hemoglobin values for the age.
