RESUMO

Three hundred and twenty nine (329) children of 1 to 6 years of age, of 6 day-care centers of the city of Recife, had been submitted to a initial evaluation of the nutritional state of iron using hemoglobin levels and, divided in 3 groups, received, during 30 days, 500μg of supplements of molybdenum and 15mg of ferrous sulphate (SFMO â 91 children), or 500μg molybdenum (MO â 105 children) or only 15mg of ferrous sulphate (SF â 133 children) from Monday to Friday. After 30 days of daily supplement consumption, it was only possible to collect material for evaluation in 159 children (50 in the MOâs group, 48 in SFMOâs group and 61 in SFâs group), sample took for comparison of the two researchâs moments. The second evaluation shown that 81% of the children had presented hemoglobin level above of 11g/dL. The profile of each group sample shows that anemia was controlled in 52%, 82% and 79%, in the groups MO, SF and SFMO, respectively and the mean of hemoglobin range from 10,78 Â 1,3g/dl to 11,73 Â 1,4g/dl in the MOâs group, from 9,84 Â 1,7g/dl to 11,75 Â 0,76g/dl in the SFâs group and from 10,72 Â 1,15g/dl to 12,14 Â 0,83g/dl in the SFMOâs group. The significant increase of the hemoglobin level and the displacement of the curve of frequency distribution, concludes that the Molybdenum was a biological active element and efficient in the treatment of anemia
