Objective: Review the evidence on the effectiveness of iron-fortified foods for the prevention of anemia in children aged 6 months to 5 years. Materials and Methods: Systematic review and randomized controlled trial, subject to analytical classification, using a Grade assessment system for certainty agreement, found in the following references: Pubmed, Redalyc, Cochrane, Bvs, Trip Database, Lipecs, Lilacs, Scielo. Of the 10 articles systematically reviewed, 20% (2/10) were randomized trials, 10% (1/10) were quasi-experimental, 10% (1/10) were applied experimental, 20% (2/10) were clinical trials, and 40% (4/10) were systematic reviews. According to the products obtained from the systematic review conducted in this study, derived from the countries of Israel, Colombia, Switzerland, Indonesia, Peru, Pakistan, Brazil, and Mexico. Results: Similarly, all of the evidence found, 100% (n=10/10), indicate that iron-fortified foods are more effective in preventing anemia. Conclusion: Iron fortification of foods is effective for the prevention of anemia in children aged 6 months to 5 years.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2017-09-15) Gómez Vásquez, Gabriela Mercedes; Alvarado Chávez, Petronila Elizabeth
Objective: To determine the effectiveness of the healthy posture educational program in controlling postural pain in workers at the National Institute of Mental Health Honorio Delgado – Hideyo Noguchi. Methodology: A purely quantitative approach was followed as it measured the variables under study; it was a quasi-experimental longitudinal design to determine the effectiveness of the healthy posture educational program in controlling pain in the 74 workers participating in the study. The technique used was the survey and the instrument was the Visual Analog Scale. Results: In the first stage, it was found that 71.6% had mild pain, 25.7% reported moderate pain, and 2.7% had severe pain according to the EVA scale. In the second stage of the study, it was found that 45.9% no longer had pain, 40.5% had mild pain, 10.8% reported moderate pain, and 2.7% had pain according to the EVA scale. Based on the results of the McNemar test, it was found that the program reduces the pain level in the staff who participated in the “Healthy Posture” educational program (p=0.008<0.05), reflecting the good functioning of the educational program. Conclusions: The healthy posture educational program in controlling postural pain in the administrative staff of the National Institute of Mental Health Honorio Delgado – Hideyo Noguchi, had favorable effectiveness as it improved knowledge and practices, thus reducing the number of cases.
