The aim of this study is to know the Nutritional Status and Hemoglobin Levels related to Hemodynamic and Non Hemodynic Iron Consumption of the children of the Dulce Refugio Riobamba Child Development Center with a non-experimental, transverse type design, the data are tabulated using the JMP and Who Antro Plus programs. General Characteristics, the sample was 120 students with an average age of 8.61; females 48.3% and males 51%. Evaluation of the Nutritional Status Size // Age 56.7% with depreciation and 43.3% in the range of normal, according to BMI // overweight age 84.2% and 6.7% in normality according to laboratory samples hemoglobin levels were 30% with anemia and 70% normal. According to the cross-variables the ratio of hemoglobin levels, anemic children absorb 23.13% of heminic iron for anemic children, while non-anemic children absorb 27.88% for non-anemic children; protein with hemoglobin levels 42.88g for anemic and 60.52g for non-anemic children; vitamin C with hemoglobin levels 141.9 mg in anemia and 206.73 mg in non-anemic patients. It is recommended that nutritional assessment and continuous monitoring be carried out with laboratory tests, raising awareness among caregivers and parents regarding the elaboration of foods rich in heminic iron and an adequate combination of non-heminic iron with Vitamin C.
