The objective of this article is to evaluate the frequency of food intake and the occurrence of anemia in children and adolescent with vivax malaria. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was carried out between 2014 and 2015 in the Marajo island. The hemoglobin level was measured by the colorimetric enzymatic reaction and a questionnaire of food intake frequency was used to assess the consumption of foods. Results: A total of 67 patients met the criteria for the inclusion in the study, of which 62.7% were children. There is a high consumption of ultra-processed foods in both age groups. Anemia occurred in 52.2% of patients, and in most of them, it was moderate. There was no significant association between gender, age range, parasitemia at admission with anemia, but a significant association was found between anemia and the ingestion of ultra-processed foods. Conclusion: The ingestion of ultra-processed foods contributes to anemia in children and adolescent with malaria.Bianca da Conceição CabralRosa Maria DiasJosé Luiz Fernandes VieiraFernanda Maria Lima MouraMarcieni Ataide de AndradeUniversidade de Santa Cruz do Sularticleplasmodium vivaxanemianutritional statusfood consumptionMedicineRInternal medicineRC31-1245Infectious and parasitic diseasesRC109-216PTRevista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção, Vol 11, Iss 1 (2021)
