Anemia y desarrollo integral psicomotor en niños preescolares con parasitosis atendidos en el centro de salud Chontacruz de Loja

Development is the progressive acquisition of biological, psychological and social skills as an external manifestation of maturation of the Central Nervous System, with mastery of more complex levels of movement, relationships and thinking. Thus, in the pediatric population, infant development is fundamental; and it is susceptible to multiple injuries, such as anemia or parasitosis, which cause psychomotor retardation. Due to the importance of the problem, the purpose of this quantitative, relational, prospective, cross-sectional study was to identify the degree of anemia, to evaluate the level of psychomotor development according to sex and age, and to estimate the relationship between anemia and psychomotor development in preschoolers with a history of parasitosis attended at the Chontacruz - Loja Health Center. For this purpose, the Denver Test II (DSST-II) was applied to 102 children, whose clinical histories were simultaneously reviewed. Anemia was found in 50.98% (n=52) of which 36.27% (n=37) corresponded to mild anemia and 14.71% (n=15) to moderate anemia, with a predominance in both cases in the 2-year age group in the female sex. Regarding psychomotor development, normal development was identified in 50% (n=51), abnormal development in 34.31% (n=35) and doubtful cases in 15.69% (n=16) with a female predominance, 23.54% (n=24) in the 2-year age group. The chi-square calculation (19.61) identified a statistically significant relationship between anemia and psychomotor development (p=0.001). We conclude that anemia influences psychomotor development, associating this condition to abnormal and doubtful psychomotor development
