Extractions: Indicators of Nutritional Status The low prevalence of underweight among children in the PedNSS indicates that acute malnutrition is not a public health problem in the American Indian and Alaska Native children. Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency in the world. Anemia is an indicator of iron deficiency, which is associated with developmental delays and behavioral disturbances. In the 1997 PEDNSS, 18.4% of children under 2 years and 16.9% of children aged 2 to 5 years had anemia. American Indian or Alaska Native children have a rate of anemia of 18.6%. Anemia was highest (25% or higher) in Alabama, Arizona, the Chickasaw Nation in Oklahoma, DC, Maryland, and Mississippi. The increasing trends of overweight children in the general US population is consistent with the findings from the PedNss. Overweight American Indian/Alaska Native children aged 2 to 5 years has risen from 10 - 12% from 1989 to 1997. This is second only to Hispanic children who prevalence has been the highest for 8 out of the 9 years studied.
