“…In Brazil, maternal social support has been associated with child nutritional status. 4,5 Other studies in Brazil have found informal social support to be negatively correlated with domestic violence 6 and positively related to coping with job stress. 7 Likewise, satisfaction with family relations has been associated with older women's quality of life.…”

Background: Social support resources are thought to buffer stressful life events and have been associated with numerous health outcomes in industrialized countries. Because the nature of supportive relationships varies by culture and social class, we studied the relationship of informal social support and networks to self-rated health among low-income women in northeastern Brazil. Methods: Participants included 595 randomly sampled mothers from nine low-income communities in Teresina, Piauí, Brazil. Data on sociodemographic variables, social support, quality of the partner relationship, and selfrated health were collected cross-sectionally in 2002. Using multivariable logistic regression, we modeled the association between different aspects of social support and self-rated health. Results: Poor or fair health was reported by 47% of participants. Women with poor partner relationships had an increased likelihood of poor or fair health (OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.1-2.7), as did those with no material support for food or money (OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.2, 2.0) and no support to resolve a conflict (OR 1.5, 95% CI 1.1, 2.1). Likewise, women with the lowest scores of the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) social support survey were more likely than other women to report poor or fair health (OR 1.5, 95% CI 1.0, 2.1).Conclusions: Poor quality of a partner relationship, lack of support to resolve a conflict, and lack of material support as well as such sociodemographic variables as low education, poor sanitation, and depressive symptomatology are associated with lower health status in a population of low-income women from northeastern Brazil.

“…Infection causes malnutrition through reducing dietary intake and intestinal absorption, whereas malnutrition increases risk of diarrhea as it can predispose to infection due to weak immune system (Brown, 2003). Insu cient childcare doubles the probability of child malnutrition (Carvalhaes & Benicio, 2006).…”

Objective: Maternal poor mental health might diminish her capability of taking adequate care of her child, resulting in negative impact on child’s nutrition. This study aims to determine the association between maternal mental health and child nutritional status.Methods: It was a cross-sectional study carried out in 264 mother-child pairs in an urban slum area of Bangladesh. Self-Reporting Questionnaire-20 (SRQ-20) was used for assessing maternal mental health. SRQ-20 score ≥7 was considered as common mental disorders (CMD). Anthropometric measurements were done for assessing child nutritional status. Results: The prevalence of maternal CMD was 46.2%. Maternal CMD was associated with poorer child feeding practice (p<0.001), poorer hygiene practice (p<0.001), poorer preventive care service use (p=0.016) and suffering from diarrheal disease (p=0.049). The prevalence of stunting, wasting and underweight were 44.3%, 18.2% and 33.7%, respectively. Poorer child feeding practice was associated with wasting (p=0.004) and underweight (p<0.001) but not with stunting. Poorer hygiene practice and suffering from diarrheal disease were associated with stunting and underweight but not with wasting. In multivariate analysis, maternal CMD was associated with child underweight (adjusted OR=2.25, 95% CI=1.15-4.43). Association between maternal CMD and wasting found in bivariate analysis that disappeared after multivariate analysis. No association was observed between maternal CMD and stunting in this study.Conclusions: Maternal mental health affects child nutritional status through child feeding practice, hygiene practice and preventive care use. Interventions to address mental health of mothers in child nutrition programmes might contribute to improve child nutritional status.

RESUMO Há estudos internacionais indicando que comportamentos maternos e interações mãe/filho durante a alimentação podem ter papel importante na determinação do estado nutricional da criança e de seu consumo de alimentos. O objetivo deste estudo foi iniciar em nosso meio o estudo desta temática descrevendo comportamentos maternos e infantis durante uma refeição (almoço), abordando díades em situação de pobreza. Trata-se de estudo transversal-descritivo, com dados obtidos mediante observação de 16 duplas mãe/filho (crianças entre 12 e 24 meses de idade) selecionadas em unidades básicas de saúde, compondo amostra intencional. Foi construído um inventário contendo 60 itens referentes a comportamentos ou sequências interativas, para guiar as observações realizadas em domicílio por duas observadoras treinadas para isso. Foram observados nas mães comportamentos característicos de três estilos alimentares: 1) nenhuma consulta à criança sobre o que desejava comer, típico do estilo autoritário; 2) alternância da alimentação ativa e por conta própria, de acordo com iniciativa da criança, característica do estilo responsivo; e 3) insistência monótona ou desistência de várias mães diante da recusa da criança a comer, comportamentos típicos do estilo passivo. Como resultado, foram detectados comportamentos maternos potencialmente adversos ao estado nutricional infantil, justificando estudos populacionais para verificar sua possível associação com desnutrição ou baixo apetite.
