“…This scenario is in agreement with that observed in the most recent surveys [10][11][12][21][22][23][24] and with nationwide studies [25][26][27][28][29][30][31] as well as with those undertaken in other Latin American countries [3][4][5][6][7] .…”

“…Other studies conducted in various regions of the country [25][26][27][28][29] found prevalences of stunting greater than those of this study, with a variation of from 6.7% (in children of 10 years of age in the city of Ferros, Minas Gerais, in the southeast of Brazil) 27 to 12.3% (in children of 6 to 24 months of age resident in Acrelândia, in the State of Acre, in northern Brazil) 28 .…”

OBJECTIVE:To describe the nutritional situation of children under five years old resident in three cities of Brazil's northeastern region. METHODS: A transversal epidemiological study was undertaken with the participation of 1,378 children. The anthropometric measurements height/age, weight/age and weight/height were calculated in terms of the Z score. Children's growth curves of the World Health Organization were used as reference. RESULTS: Higher proportions were found of overweight/ height (8.3% in Barra de São Miguel, 10.3% in Cabedelo and 5.9% in Tibau do Sul) than of deficit (1.5% in Barra de São Miguel, 1.9% in Cabedelo and 0.9% in Tibau do Sul). A higher prevalence of the height deficit was observed (5.9% in Barra de São Miguel, 5.5% in Cabedelo and 4.6% in Tibau do Sul) than of the weight deficit (3.6% in Barra de São Miguel, 2.5 % in Cabedelo and 1.5% in Tibau do Sul). CONCLUSION: The nutritional status of the group studied was unfavorable. Actions to promote adequate eating habits within the context of food and nutrition programs and policies should, therefore, be prioritized. The high prevalence of height deficit and overweight highlights the vulnerability of this group and the sum of the necessary actions should produce an impact by reversing this nutritional profile.

“…A baixa ingestão de frutas, verduras de folhas, legumes e carnes se repercute na baixa ingestão de micronutrientes e, por consequência, nas deficiências nutricionais. Estudo realizado na Região Norte, no Município de Acrelândia, no Acre, investigou as condições de saúde e nutrição de crianças com idade entre 6-24 meses e confirmou que a dieta ingerida por estas não supria as necessidades diárias de ácido fólico, vitamina C, vitamina A, zinco e ferro, conforme recomendadas para essa faixa etária 23 . Apesar da qualidade da dieta das crianças residentes nas regiões Norte e Nordeste estarem muito aquém do recomendado, estudo demonstrou que a desnutrição infantil na Região Nordeste reduziu em cerca de 50%, no período compreendido entre 1996 e 2006 (13,5% para 6,8%).…”

“…The size of the sample was calculated using the Epi Info TM software, taking into account an estimate that 50% of children show inadequate feeding practices (9)(10)(11)(12) ; a population of 3,904 children under the age of three, registered in the PHCs; a confidence level of 95%; and a margin of error of 5%. The calculation showed the need for 350 motherchild pairs.…”

Use and filling of child health handbook focused on growth and development RESUMENObjetivo: Evaluar el uso y llenado de la Libreta de Salud Infantil (LSI), especialmente el crecimiento y el desarrollo. Método: Estudio transversal con 358 pares de madres e hijos matriculados en 12 Unidades Bási-cas de Salud (UBS) de una ciudad pequeña. Las madres fueron entrevistadas en el UBS desde febrero a abril 2013 mediante un cuestionario. Se utilizó Epi-info y software SPSS. Resultados: 53% de las madres estaban llevando LSI durante la entrevista, proporción similar a las madres que recibieron instrucciones para llevar el LSI a la atención de la salud. Anotaciones en LSI durante las visitas se registraron en un 49%. Calendario de vacunas fue completa en el 97% de LSI, pero sólo el 9% y el 8% de LSI tenido, respectivamente, las curvas de crecimiento y desarrollos debidamente cumplimentados. Conclusión: El uso y el relleno satisfactorio de LSI refuerzan la necesidad de inversión en la formación profesional y el acercamiento a la comunidad para la LSI se convierte efectivamente en un instrumento de promoción de la salud infantil. DESCRIPTORES ABSTRACTObjective: To evaluate the use and records of the Child Health Handbook (CHH), especially growth and development. Method: Cross-sectional study with 358 motherchild pairs registered in 12 Primary Health Centers (PHCs) of a small municipality. Mothers were interviewed at the PHC from February to April 2013 using a questionnaire. Data analysis was done using WHO Anthro software, Epi Info TM and Stata. Results: Fifty-three percent of the mothers were carrying the CHH at the time of the interview, similar to the proportion of mothers who were instructed to bring the CHH to health appointments. Annotations in the CHH during the visits were reported by 49%. The vaccination schedule was completed in 97% of the CHH, but only 9% and 8% of the CHH, respectively, contained growth charts and properly completed developmental milestones. Conclusion: Low rates of use and unsatisfactory record-keeping in the CHH reinforce the need for investment in professional training and community awareness for the CHH to become an effective instrument of promotion of child health.
