Abstract

La anemia es un problema de salud pública que afecta alrededor del 25% de la población mundial. Se ha asociado, además, con la reducción en las habilidades cognitivas tanto en niños como en jóvenes en edad escolar. En el presente artículo estudiamos la relación que existe entre la asistencia a la escuela, el rezago estudiantil y la anemia utilizando como muestra la población estudiantil mexicana de entre 12 y 19 años de edad. Para lo anterior, hemos desarrollado una base de datos original que parte de la Encuesta Nacional de Salud y Nutrición 2012, ENSANUT 2012 (México. Instituto Nacional de Salud Pública, 2012). Encontramos que la anemia es un determinante importante tanto de la asistencia a la escuela como del rezago estudiantil. Encontramos, además, que las probabilidades de abandonar la escuela o de retrasarse son más altas para las personas pertenecientes a los grupos más vulnerables.
