“…Relations between anthropometric status and risk of death among malnourished children treated in feeding units have been reported in several studies from populations for children from different races and continents (Gomez et al, 1956;McLaren et al, 1969;Gurson et al, 1976;Gillam, 1989). There is some evidence that the relation between anthropometric status of children and mortality in the community may be different between Africa and South Asia (Briend, 1992).…”

“…Our model could probably be improved by taking into account other risk factors among severely malnourished children, such as electrolyte imbalance (Gomez et al, 1956;Kahn, 1959), signs of liver failure (McLaren et al, 1969;McLean, 1962) or micronutrient de®ciencies (Gomez et al, 1956;Laditan, 1976). However, these risk factors are dif®cult to assess accurately in most of the developing world and, although the model might be improved, its application would then become severely restricted to those centres that could measure the variables of an expanded model.…”

“…Especificamente para o caso da avaliação ponderal, fez-se uso do critério classificatório de Gomez e col. 9 que indica formas leves de desnutrição (l.° grau) quando o peso da criança representar 76 a 90% do peso mediano esperado para idade e sexo, e formas moderadas (2.° grau) e severas (3.° grau) quando o peso representar, respectivamente, 60 a 75% e menos do que 60% do peso esperado. As crianças examinadas foram igualmente classificadas segundo a posição específica ocupada pelo seu peso e altura ao longo da distribuição dos valores normais do padrão de referência, objetivando obter-se não mais a prevalência de déficits antropométricos, mas o comportamento do perfil global de crescimento da amostra.…”

“…RESULTADOS 1. Relação peso/idade -Segundo a classificação de Gomez et al (1956), 23,4% das crianças eram desnutridas, sendo 2,2% do II grau e 0,1% do III grau. A prevalência de desnutrição aumentava com a idade de forma progressiva, elevando-se de 9,6% em menores de seis meses para cerca de 29% na idade de 48-60 meses (Tabela 1).…”
