“…On the other hand, Chile has a high rate of malnutrition, mainly concentrated in infants from low SES (Rodríguez & Pizarro ). The relationship between nutrition and cognitive development has been widely described (e.g.…”

The results indicate that SES is a factor that could impact the developmental trajectories of children with DS. Although the differences between children with DS and with TD are similar at the beginning regardless of SES, the developmental trajectories are slower in children with DS of low SES than in children of high SES. We argue that the differences are related to the complex interaction of several biological and cultural factors associated with SES. Some specific hypotheses about nutrition, health care access, quality of education and parenting practices are presented, but more research in this area is needed to fully understand these results.

“…El desarrollo de la talla del niño(a) y jóvenes es un buen indicador de la calidad de vida, correlacionándose claramente con el grado de desarrollo del país (25). Según la ENSIN 2010 el 30,1 % de los niños(as) de 5 a 17 años presentaron riesgo de talla baja para la edad, similar a los resultados de este estudio (6).…”

Objective To determine the nutritional status and prevalence of malnutrition and overweight in students in rural schools and their relationship with school absence rates. Methods Descriptive study carried out in 34 rural schools in Anapoima and La Mesa in 2013. A sample of 785 (82.4 %) students was selected by convenience sampling. The inclusion criteria were students registered for the period 2013 in grades 0-5 (ages 5-16) with parental consent and student assent. Weight and height of all subjects were taken. Overall absence rates and illness-related absence rates were recorded. Results 422 pupils were male (53.8 %) and 524 (66.8 %) had between 5-9 years old. A lower than average height for age occurred in 10.1 %(n=79) of the students. The thinness was recorded at 1.75 %(n=13), the overweight at 14.3 %(n=112) and the obesity at 4.5 %(n=45) of the students. The number of absence episodes per child per year due to any reason and due to disease was 5.7 and 1.4, respectively. Stunted growth and overweight students had a significantly higher number of absence days compared to students with adequate nutritional status (p <0.01). Stunted growth had the highest absence rates. Conclusions Malnutrition and obesity coexist in the study area. There is a significant relationship between school absence days (both general and illness-related) and stunting and overweight in students.

“…There may also be a genetic component because the Chilean population, in general, is smaller in size compared to international anthropometric standards. Considering this aspect, and that no association was established with the BEE, no adjustment by this variable was required as discussed in other studies (Rodríguez and Pizarro 2006).…”
