- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoTrastornos del neurodesarrollo asociados a anemia ferropénica en la edad pediátrica. Revisión sistemática(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Hurtado, Catalina María; Pérez Ramírez, Jacinto Eugenio; 0151496924Background: Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) and their relationship with iron deficiency anemia in children are considered a worldwide problem due to their high prevalence, affecting a significant percentage of children and impacting various neurological areas manifested in disorders such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and the autism spectrum. Several socioeconomic, social, environmental, genetic, and biological factors influence NDDs. Objective: To analyze neurodevelopmental disorders associated with iron deficiency anemia in pediatric age. Methodology: A systematic review was conducted on Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, Dialnet, ResearchGate, and SciELO, widely recognized databases, and it used platforms in the academic and scientific field, permitting access to a wide range of journal articles and other academic resources. Results: The proposed connection between iron deficiency and its effects on the brain underscores the importance of addressing anemia and nutritional deficiencies, especially in pediatric populations. These findings have important implications for public health and can support the implementation of interventions to address anemia and iron deficiencies, especially in educational settings. Conclusions: It is necessary for nutritional and public health interventions to address iron deficiency and prevent anemia, especially in more susceptible population groups such as pregnant women, children, and individuals in environments with higher rates of iron deficiency.
