Abstract:
INTRODUCTION:Fortification and supplementation are two strategies for micronutrient deficiency prevention. The objective of this study was to describe the source of iron and folic acid intake throughout the life cycle in the population of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. POULATION AND METHODS:Analysis of the information collected in the First Survey on Nutritional Food Intake of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (2011), which had a probability cluster sampling design. Consumption was assessed by means of a 24-hour recall. Iron and folic acid intake was estimated and categorized into natural content, enriched wheat flour, milk from the Maternal and Child Plan, fortified foods, and supplements. RESULTS:Out of the 5369 studied individuals, practically all got iron and folic acid from natural contents (58 % and 29 % of intake, respectively). More than 90 % consumed enriched wheat flour, which provided 28 % of iron and 54 % of folic acid. Fortified food consumption and intake varied greatly. Milk intake from the Maternal and Child Plan was small, even in specific groups. Intake from supplements was low, except in children < 2 years old (30 % consumed iron supplements, which accounted for 38 % of iron). CONCLUSION:In addition to natural intake from foods, enriched wheat flour accounted for a major source of folic acid and iron in this population; intake from fortified foods and supplements varied by age group. :Introducción. La fortificación y suplementación son estrategias para la prevención de carencias de micronutrientes. El objetivo fue describir la procedencia de la ingesta del hierro y ácido fólico a lo largo del ciclo vital de la población de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires. Población y métodos. Análisis de la información de la Primera Encuesta Alimentaria y Nutricional de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires 2011, que tomó una muestra probabilística por conglomerados. El consumo se recabó con recordatorio de 24 horas. Se calculó el aporte de hierro y ácido fólico, y se categorizó en contenido natural, harina de trigo enriquecida, leche del Plan Materno Infantil, alimentos fortificados y suplementos. Resultados. De los 5369 individuos evaluados, prácticamente, la totalidad obtenía hierro y ácido fólico de contenido natural (el 58 % y el 29 % del consumo, respectivamente). Más del 90 % consumía harina de trigo enriquecida, que aportaba el 28 % del hierro y el 54 % del ácido fólico. Los alimentos fortificados mostraron consumo y aporte muy variable. La leche del Plan Materno Infantil mostró muy baja participación, inclusive en grupos específicos. El aporte de suplementos fue bajo, excepto en < 2 años (el 30 % consumía suplementos de hierro, que aportaban el 38 % de este). Conclusión. Además del aporte natural de los alimentos, la harina de trigo enriquecida representó una importante contribución en el consumo de ácido fólico y hierro de esta población; los alimentos fortificados y los suplementos tuvieron una participación diferente según el grupo etario.
