“…From 2000 to 2007, 15.0% of children were born with low birth weight (< 2.5 kg) in the world, and it is an underlying factor for 60.0%-80.0% of neonatal deaths, 6 especially in less developed countries. 5 , 12 Several studies show that children born with extremely low birth weight are at high risk for neurological abnormalities and delayed growth and development in the first years of life.…”

OBJECTIVETo analyze the evolution in the prevalence and determinants of malnutrition in children in the semiarid region of Brazil.METHODSData were collected from two cross-sectional population-based household surveys that used the same methodology. Clustering sampling was used to collect data from 8,000 families in Ceará, Northeastern Brazil, for the years 1987 and 2007. Acute undernutrition was calculated as weight/age < -2 standard deviation (SD); stunting as height/age < -2 SD; wasting as weight/height < -2 SD. Data on biological and sociodemographic determinants were analyzed using hierarchical multivariate analyses based on a theoretical model.RESULTSA sample of 4,513 and 1,533 children under three years of age, in 1987 and 2007, respectively, were included in the analyses. The prevalence of acute malnutrition was reduced by 60.0%, from 12.6% in 1987 to 4.7% in 2007, while prevalence of stunting was reduced by 50.0%, from 27.0% in 1987 to 13.0% in 2007. Prevalence of wasting changed little in the period. In 1987, socioeconomic and biological characteristics (family income, mother’s education, toilet and tap water availability, children’s medical consultation and hospitalization, age, sex and birth weight) were significantly associated with undernutrition, stunting and wasting. In 2007, the determinants of malnutrition were restricted to biological characteristics (age, sex and birth weight). Only one socioeconomic characteristic, toilet availability, remained associated with stunting.CONCLUSIONSSocioeconomic development, along with health interventions, may have contributed to improvements in children’s nutritional status. Birth weight, especially extremely low weight (< 1,500 g), appears as the most important risk factor for early childhood malnutrition.

“…More specifically, the enhanced possibility to encounter and understand health promotion information as a result of education decreases the risk of infectious and nutritional diseases in children of educated parents. [4,40,41] Higher educational levels are also associated with improved toilet facilities in both rural and urban settings, which means better access to sanitation and hygiene in the household. [42] Living in the North and Northeast was also a risk factor associated with hospitalizations for diarrhea, in addition to being a risk factor for the prevalence of the disease in the two weeks before the interview.…”

Aim: The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of and hospitalization rate due to diarrhea and to identify factors associated with diarrheal disease and related hospitalizations in children less than two years old in Brazil. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of 1,902 children who were participants in the 2006 National Demographic and Health Survey (Pesquisa Nacional de Demografia e Saúde da Criança e da Mulher -PNDS 2006). To collect data, children's mothers were interviewed. The prevalence of and hospitalization rate due to diarrhea were calculated for the two weeks before the interview and for the last year, respectively. Logistic regression models were fitted to identify the prevalence of diarrhea and the risk factors associated with diarrhea occurrence and related hospitalizations. A complex sample statistical technique was applied for all analyses. Results: The prevalence of diarrhea and hospitalization rate due to diarrhea were 11.9% and 2.6%, respectively. Children living in the North and Northeast regions had a greater risk of diarrhea, while children under 12 months old, those who were receiving age-appropriate exclusive breastfeeding and those with mothers greater than 35 years old were protected against the disease. Male children living in households that did not have a land-floor in the North and Northeast regions had a higher risk of hospitalization due to diarrhea, while children of mothers who had a higher education level (> 4 years) were protected against it. Conclusion: Diarrhea is still a public health problem for children under two years old in Brazil, especially in the North and Northeast regions. Diarrhea control and prevention programs should inform young mothers with lower education levels about children's healthcare, including the benefits of breastfeeding.

Pendahuluan: Diare merupakan salah satu penyebab paling umum dari morbiditas dan mortalitas anak, diperburuk oleh air yang tidak memadai, layanan sanitasi dan kebersihan, dan kekurangan gizi, terutama di negara-negara berkembang. Tujuan: Mengetahui peran serta masyarakat dengan angka kejadian diare. Metode: Desain penelitian kuantitatif menggunakan pendekatan analitik observasional dengan Cross Sectional. Jumlah sampel 69 orang, pengumpulan data wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan telaah dokumen, dianalisis univariat dan bivariat dengan bantuan SPSS versi 21. Hasil: Menunjukan uji statistik chi-square diperoleh nilai p = 0,000 < 0,05 peran masyarakat. Kesimpulan: Bahwa ada hubungan peran masyarakat dengan angka kejadian Diare. Oleh karena itu, dalam melakukan sosialisasi dan edukasi atau penyuluhan tentang kejadian Diare kepada seluruh masyarakat dengan bekerja sama dengan tenaga kesehatan sehingga bisa meningkatkan peran aktif masyarakat tentang kesehatan
