| dc.description | This research examines the effect that the consumption of calcium-rich foods has on the effectiveness of iron supplementation in preschoolers diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia. The main problem identified is how calcium consumption impacts iron absorption, which is important for recovery from anemia. The objective of the study is to determine this dependency among children attending the Sauces III Health Center in Guayaquil during the years 2024-2025. Parents were surveyed about their eating habits and use of supplements, blood samples were taken to measure hemoglobin and ferritin levels, and medical files were reviewed to verify diagnoses. The analysis was carried out using statistical methods in Excel to organize and evaluate the data. The results led to the conclusion that the simultaneous consumption of foods rich in calcium, mainly dairy products, negatively affects iron absorption. It can be inferred that children with anemia should be kept away from calcium-rich foods if the aim is to maximize the effectiveness of iron supplementation. Adherence to iron treatment was high, but the closest follow-ups marked them as little progress due to the lack of systematicity in the administration schedules. It is stated that the interaction between calcium and iron is relevant and needs to be included in the dietary recommendations for the management of iron deficiency anemia, emphasizing the nutritional education system of the parent and caregiver. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | Esta investigación explora los impactos de las dietas ricas en calcio sobre la eficacia de la suplementación de hierro en niños en edad preescolar diagnosticados con anemia por deficiencia de hierro. La principal preocupación es el impacto del calcio en la absorción de hierro, que es fundamental para recuperarse de la anemia. Este estudio tiene como objetivo determinar esta relación para los niños que asisten al Centro de Salud Sauces III en Guayaquil durante el período 2024–2025. Se realizó una entrevista a los padres sobre sus prácticas dietéticas y de suplementación, se tomaron muestras de sangre para la determinación de niveles de hemoglobina y ferritina, y se revisaron los registros médicos para confirmar los diagnósticos. Se utilizó Excel para organizar y evaluar los datos, y se aplicaron métodos estadísticos. Los hallazgos llevaron a la conclusión de que la ingesta concurrente de alimentos ricos en calcio, especialmente productos lácteos, afecta negativamente la absorción de hierro. Se puede suponer que los niños con anemia deben evitar los alimentos ricos en calcio si el objetivo es mejorar la efectividad de la suplementación con hierro. La adherencia al tratamiento de hierro fue alta, pero los seguimientos más cercanos las marcaron como poco avance por la falta de sistematicidad en los horarios de administración. Se afirma que la interacción entre el calcio y el hierro es relevante y requiere ser incluida dentro de las recomendaciones dietéticas para el manejo de la anemia ferropénica, enfatizando el sistema de educación nutricional del padre y del cuidador. | es_ES |
