Determinantes e conseqüências da insegurança alimentar no Amazonas: a influência dos ecossistemas

Abstract: RESUMONesta revisão foram investigados os principais determinantes da transição epidemiológica, nutricional e do padrão de atividade física vivenciados pelos brasileiros nas últimas três décadas. Constata-se nestas pesquisas a exclusão sistemática da região Norte-rural do novo cenário epidemiológico nacional, atualmente caracterizado pelo declínio da desnutrição infantil e elevação concomitante da obesidade, além da ausência de informações científicas a respeito das condições de saúde, nutrição e sobrevivência… Show more

“…The Amazon has a large diversity of fi sh and fruit, which should represent an abundant supply of energy, protein, vitamins and minerals, thus providing excellent health, nutrition and life-quality standards to its different population groups 17 . However, the social and economic reality added to the precarious health and nutritional conditions reported in that region strongly contrast with its richness of biological resources.…”

“…Other aspects of the health of the Amazonian populations were indicated by Alencar et al (2007), who warn about the exclusion of the rural Northern region from the national epidemiological scenario, with a vast emptiness of scientific information on the health, nutrition and survival conditions in nationwide surveys carried out by official government bodies. Observing such information gaps, the authors based their analysis on the evolutionary analysis of the surveys conducted in the state of Amazonas in recent decades, suggesting the persistence of a food insecurity situation evidenced by the high prevalence of children malnutrition, iron deficiency anemia, and hypovitaminosis A, compounded by the high frequency of gastrointestinal parasitic infections.…”

“…Porém, a população é também muito vulnerável à influência de seus ecossistemas, que podem determinar escassez alimentar em tempos de cheias nos rios da região 26 e, por outro lado, impossibilidade de acesso se os rios secarem demais. Interessante notar que nessa dicotomia, a indisponibilidade alimentar prevalece, tornando os moradores mais vulneráveis em relação à insegurança alimentar grave.…”
