Estudio Descriptivo de la Situación Nutricional en Niños de 6 - 72 Meses de la República Argentina: Resultados de la Encuesta Nacional de Nutrición y Salud (ENNyS)

Prevalence of low weight and small for gestational age in Argentina: Comparison between the INTERGROWTH-21st standard and an Argentine reference

“…19 The overall and regional underweight prevalence (Latin America and the Caribbean) among infants aged 0-5 months was 7% and 1%, respectively. 20 Although underweight prevalence estimated in this study is higher than that established by the National Survey on Nutrition and Health (Encuesta Nacional de Nutrición and Salud, ENNyS) in 2004-2005, 21 both estimations are lower than the clinical and epidemiological significance levels (10%) proposed by the WHO. 22 According to the INTERGROWTH-21 st standard, underweight prevalence at a regional level is higher -almost twice as high-among preterm than full-term NBIs.…”

Prevalencias de bajo peso y pequeño para la edad gestacional en Argentina: comparación entre el estándar INTERGROWTH-21st y una referencia argentina

“…19 La prevalencia global y regional (América Latina y el Caribe) de BP en niños de 0-5 meses es de 7% y 1%, respectivamente. 20 21 ambas son inferiores a los puntos de significancia clínica y epidemiológica (10%) propuestos por la OMS. 22 Con INTERGROWTH-21 st , las prevalencias de BP a nivel regional son más altas, casi el doble, en los pretérminos que las observadas en los nacidos a término.…”

High prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among children with chronic kidney disease and kidney transplant

“…21,22 In Argentina, a study conducted in 2009 by Durán et al to describe the nutritional status of Argentina, reported vitamin D deficiency only in the Patagonia region with 23% of children younger than 2 and 5 years whose level was below 20 ng/mL. 23 Data published on children with CKD and 25(OH)D deficiency in Latin America are scarce, 17 so a hypothesis may be that vitamin D levels are more adequate in places closer to the Equator.…”
