Abstract

Objective: To verify the possible association between hematological profile and nutritional status of workers and their children. Methodology: Cross-sectional study composed of 25 parents and their respective children (25). Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HR) and waist-hip ratio (WHR) were evaluated. For hematological indicators, hemoglobin and hematocrit were evaluated. Results: 13 fathers and 6 children were overweight/obese and 9 fathers and 3 children had elevated WC. Among children, 11 have increased hemoglobin and 7 increased hematocrit. There was no relation between the anthropometric and hematological indicators of parents and their children. Regarding the parents, there was a significant relationship between WHR with hemoglobin (p = 0.002) and hematocrit (p = 0.020). Among children, CC was associated with hemoglobin (p = 0.046) and hematocrit (p = 0.016). Conclusion: No correlation was found between anthropometric and hematological indicators between parents and children.
