Descrição: We investigated the prevalence and risk factors of anemia and iron deficiency in 398 rural Amazonians aged 5-90 years in Acre, Brazil. Anemia and iron deficiency were diagnosed in 16 percent and 19 percent of the population, respectively. Anemia was likely to have multiple causes; although nearly half of anemic school children and women had altered iron status indicators, only 19.7 percent of overall anemia was attributable to iron deficiency. Geo-helminth infection and a recent malaria episode were additional factors affecting iron status indicators in this population
