Déficit nutricional em crianças de uma cidade de grande porte do interior da Bahia, BrasilNutritional deficit in children in a major city of the interior of the state of Bahia, Brazil

<b>Nutritional status of children under five years living in area of social vulnerability of Campina Grande, Paraíba State

“…These circumstances have been explained by the sharing of genetic, socioeconomic and environmental characteristics (Addo et al, 2013;Araújo et al, 2010;Felisbino-Mendes et al, 2014;Figueroa Pedraza et al, 2013;Sichieri et al, 2010;Symonds et al, 2013). Current analysis revealed a strong association between birth weight and the anthropometric nutritional status of children, with similar results in previous studies, such as studies based on municipal or state population data (Jesus, Castelão, Vieira, Gomes, & Vieira, 2014;Figueiroa et al, 2012;Rissin et al, 2011) and in populations marked by social inequity Lang et al, 2011;Silveira et al, 2010). This association, verified for several anthropometric indexes (Figueiroa et al, 2012;Figueroa Pedraza et al, 2013;Horta et al, 2013;Jesus et al, 2014;Lang et al, 2011;Rissin et al, 2011;Silveira et al, 2010), shows two perspectives: i) children with low birth weight, regardless of compensatory growth in the first three months of life, continue to have weigh rates below those of children with adequate birth weight, contributing to increased vulnerability to infectious processes and other negative postnatal factors, which are added to the prenatal growth programming (Motta, Silva, Araújo, Lira, & Lima, 2005); ii) low birth weight may result in adaptation mechanisms such as catch-up growth and hormonal disorders that might predispose the child to the development of overweight / obesity (Chrestani, Santos, Horta, Dumith, & Dode, 2013;Motta el al., 2005;Rossi & Vasconcelos, 2010).…”

“…The follow-up of serial measures over time, with the establishment of a growth curve, is more useful than comparing a single measure with the reference; it provides more information about the child's health status and, above all, allows the performance of early preventive or corrective actions in the case of development problems, avoiding the establishment of morbid states such as malnutrition 23 or obesity. It was noted that, regardless of the Brazilian region in which the study was developed, a poor quality of CHH filling by health professionals 9,10,18-20 was observed, which may have occurred for several reasons, ranging from non-recognition of its importance 243 , time-consuming demand or even to the non-portability of the handbook by parents 25 .…”
