Abstract:
Introduction: Working at an early age can have adverse consequences on health. Working children due to their occupational hazards are at risk of communicable and non-communicable diseases such as malnutrition, anemia and growth retardation. This study aimed to determine the nutritional status and prevalence of anemia in working and non-working children.
Methods: This case-control study was carried out as cross-sectional, on ۹۰ working and ۹۰ non-working ۸-۱۸ year-old boys in Kermanshah. The data gathering tools were demographic and food frequency questionnaires (FFQ). Anthropometric parameters were measured using standard tools. ۵ ml blood for blood biomarkers test was collected from the participants.
Results: Average height and weight of working children were respectively ۳.۷ cm and ۵.۷ kg less than of the non- working children (P = ۰.۰۲). Prevalence of iron deficiency in working children was more than double in the non-working children (۲۸% vs ۱۱.۳%, P = ۰.۰۱). Hemoglobin concentration was less significantly in working children compare to non-working children (p=۰.۰۵). The working children as significantly consumed all of the food groups except the bread and cereals less than the non-working children (P <۰.۰۰۱).
Conclusions: Working children are at risk to develop anemia and malnutrition so they need to emergencies nutritional supports.
