Abstract

The aim of this research was to establish the association between the consumption of foods rich in iron and social, economic and cultural factors in pregnant women with or without anemia in a 2020 health facility. The method used was correlational, comparative, cross-sectional; the sample was 135 pregnant women, 44 of them with anemia and 91 without anemia; the analysis and statistical treatment of the data to make the comparison was through Spearman’s correlation coefficient. Arriving at the following results: the majority of pregnant women with or without anemia were between 20-34 years old (79.5% and 78%), secondary education (75% and 60.4%), cohabitants (72.7% and 76.9%), wives of home (75% and 76.9%) and Catholic (65.9% and 81.3%). Factors such as: socio-economic associated with the consumption of foods rich in iron was level D: Low lower (93.3% and 92.3%) in both groups, cultural had regular knowledge (50% and 54.9%), the attitude was favorable (50% and 73.6%), iron intake was low (68.2%) in anemic women, but adequate in non-anemic women (71.4%). Attitudes (p<0.001, Rho=0.321) were significantly, directly and slightly associated with the consumption of ironrich foods in all pregnant women. This association (p=0.008, Rho=0.396) was maintained only in the group of anemic pregnant women. We can affirm that the consumption of foods rich in iron is significantly associated with the attitudes of pregnant women in a health establishment; evidencing that, to better attitudes, greater consumption of iron.
