Retardo estatural em menores de cinco anos: um estudo "baseline"

Abstract

Retardo estatural em menores de cinco anos: um estudo "baseline"Linear growth retardation in children under five years of age: a baseline study

<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).…”

“…Due to its multi-causal nature, the nutritional status of children involves several factors (Rissin, Figueiroa, Benício, & Batista Filho, 2011). Consequently, basic determinants related to purchasing power determine the access to essential services (underlying determinants) with consequences on food consumption and health status that are immediate determinants of the nutritional status (Bellamy, 1997).…”

“…In spite of evidence in determining the nutritional status of children by environmental factors, affecting malnutrition and overweight rates (Araújo et al, 2010;Figueiroa, Alves, Lira, & Batista Filho, 2012;Lima et al, 2010;Monteiro et al, 2009;Rissin et al, 2011;Sichieri, Barbosa & Moura, 2010;Felisbino-Mendes, Villamor, & VelasquezMelendez,, 2014), individual factors may demonstrate strong association, especially when adjusted for environmental conditions and lifestyles with these outcomes (Araújo et al, 2010;FelisbinoMendes et al, 2014;Sichieri et al, 2010). Overweight and stunting are nutritional extremes that may coexist in families in developing countries.…”

Nutritional situation of children under five years old in Brazil’s northeastern cities

“…The height deficit is of a multicausal character and may be due to family income, profession, schooling, environmental factors (type of dwelling, sanitary conditions), reproductive aspects (mother's age, number and order of birth, interval between births), food consumption, food quality, concurrent diseases, access to health actions, among others 41 .…”

Classificação De Famílias Segundo Situações De Risco

“…Isto foi exemplificado em um estudo de 2009, onde os autores encontraram forte associação entre o retardo estatural em crianças menores de cinco anos e a relação morador/cômodo igual ou maior que um (17) .…”
