Identifying factors that can be related to the occurrence of gestational arterial hypertension. The sample was composed by 105 pregnant women in their third trimester of gestation, during the period between September 2013 and August 2014. General assessment questionnaires together with a questionnaire to evaluate anxiety (STAI-A-STATE) were applied; arterial blood pressure values were collected. To classify anxiety, a mean of the final result of all the questionnaires gotten was calculated. Pregnant women who showed scores higher than the mean were considered anxious. All data were analyzed by a logistic regression. The significance level adopted was 0.05. A data analysis allowed us to verify that 92.38% of the pregnant women had an anxious personality STAI-A-STATE and 12.38% of them had a momentary hypertension. The momentary hypertension showed a correlation between the hypertension and the state anxiety score (p = 0.049). The hypertension showed an association with the presence of depression (OR 8.69), obesity (OR 6.45), anxiety (OR 7.77), nausea (OR 12.79) and non-white race (OR 8.18). According to the study realized, the factors non-white race, depression, nausea, obesity and anxiety can be considered risk factors for the occurrence of gestational arterial hypertension. Based on these findings, a high quality prenatal assistance is considered of prime importance.
Na infância, a nutrição adequada é fundamental para garantir o crescimento e desenvolvimento normal da criança e a manutenção da saúde. Este estudo do tipo transversal teve como objetivo traçar o perfil nutricional de pré-escolares de um Centro de Educação do município de Alfenas - MG, para subsidiar a formulação de estratégias de atendimento e controle dos problemas detectados e elaborar e aplicar recursos pedagógico-nutricionais para a institucionalização da educação nutricional. A população estudada foi composta por 87 pré-escolares menores de seis anos de idade. A coleta das variáveis antropométricas foi realizada com base nas recomendações de Jelliffe (1968). O diagnóstico do estado nutricional das crianças foi expresso em escore z, ou seja, unidades de desvio-padrão, e comparado ao padrão de referência do CDC/NCHS (2000). O programa de educação alimentar foi realizado por meio de aplicação de dinâmicas com abordagem de temas sobre alimentação infantil e promoção de hábitos saudáveis, foram elaborados os seguintes recursos pedagógicos - nutricionais: Teatro com o título "Tomatinho Vermelho na Floresta das Guloseimasâ€? e desenhos para colorir. Conclui-se que a maioria das crianças (90%) apresentou estado nutricional de eutrofia e que a aplicação dos recursos pedagógico-nutricionais teve um impacto positivo evidenciado pela reação das crianças.
