CASTILLO BOHORQUEZ, Martha; MORA BAUTISTA, Ana Isabel  and  OLIVEROS ROZO, Ana Lucía. Iron deficiency anaemias and subclinical anaemias among the muiscas indigenious of Bosa and Suba in Bogota. Nova [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.26, pp.79-84. ISSN 1794-2470.

Objective. To investigate the presence of anemic syndrome in Muisca indigenous communities, men and women between 18 and 50 years, located in indigenous territories of Bosa and Suba in Bogotá. Methods. Laboratory tests considered for this study included the assessment of automated hemogram, study of peripheral blood, serum ferritin, C-reactive protein, total protein, and albuminas. This research study is non-random, descriptive and cross-sectional, whose sample design is layered with a total of 80 samples. Results. The Muisca population under study located in the towns of Bosa and Suba in Bogotá, population consist of 12.5% (10/80) men y 87.5% (70/80) women presented low ferritin levels in 35.7% (25/70) women and 40 % (4/10) men, which suggests iron deficiency, however 1 man and 1 woman, show iron-deficiency anaemia, for having both levels of hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin and ferritin low, this suggests the presence of subclinical iron deficiency in a 34.4%(22/70) women and 30%(3/10) men, therefore the future possibility of iron-deficiency anaemia but the causes of iron deficiency are corrected.
