Crescimento do perímetro cefálico nos primeiros seis meses em crianças em aleitamento materno exclusivo

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the head circumference growth of exclusively breastfed children from birth to the sixth month of life using, as references, the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS/1977) Resultados: En los primeros seis meses hubo un aumento del perímetro cefálico promedio de 1,5cm al mes en los niños y de 1,4cm en las niñas. El crecimiento del perímetro cefálico, en ambos sexos, acompañó el percentil 50 del estándar WHO/2006. En los niños, excepto al nacer, el percentil 50 del perímetro cefálico fue equivalente al de la referencia NCHS/1977; en las niñas, se situó cerca desde el nacimiento.Conclusiones: Los niños en lactancia materna exclusiva hasta el sexto mes de vida presentaron crecimiento satisfactorio del perímetro cefálico, en conformidad con el percentil 50 del estándar WHO/2006 y de la referencia NCHS/1977.

Influence of head and linear growth on the development of malocclusion at six years of age: a cohort study

“…A cross-sectional study with children between 3-5 years of age showed a higher prevalence of malocclusion among children whose mothers reported that their children did not have the habit of pacifier sucking, compared with those who did. 22 These findings corroborate the hypothesis that the growth of a child explains the establishment of occlusal anomalies better than factors associated with sucking habits. However, these findings differ from those of most studies in the literature, which have reported sucking habits as the major determinants of the aforementioned anomalies in children.…”

“…The findings of our study corroborate this statement, since a significant relationship with malocclusions was found in the association between CP at the age of six years and lowest CP gain over six years of life. According to Jaldin et al, 22 breast milk may contribute to head circumference gain because of its nutrients; these authors demonstrated that exclusively breastfed children in the first six months of life showed a satisfactory increase in head circumference. However, this relationship was not confirmed in our study.…”

Uso de instrumento de acompanhamento do crescimento e desenvolvimento da criança no Brasil – Revisão sistemática de literatura

“…It draws attention to a filling out as low as 30.7%25 and 35.5%26 of a parameter that reflects the state of child neurodevelopment,43 – 45 so it should be routinely used for individual follow-up of children up to 24 months, the period of greatest postnatal growth 545 …”

“…Chama atenção tão baixo preenchimento (30,7%25 e 35,5%26) de um parâmetro que reflete o estado do neurodesenvolvimento infantil 43 - 45 e, por isso, deve ser rotineiramente usado para seguimento individual de crianças até 24 meses, período de maior crescimento pós-natal. 5 , 45 …”

Fatores associados ao perímetro craniano ao nascer: comparação entre duas coortes de nascimento em Ribeirão Preto, SP, com intervalo de 30 anos

“…De modo geral, medir o PC é uma forma acessível, fácil e simples para avaliar o desenvolvimento do sistema nervoso central (JALDIN et al, 2011) e eficaz para detectar assimetrias cranianas (MOTA et al, 2004). Sabe-se também que o crescimento da caixa craniana está relacionado ao crescimento e volume cerebral e, por isso, deve ser rotineiramente medido e utilizado para seguimento individual (JALDIN et al, 2011).
