ABSTRACT

Objetivo Identificar factores asociados a infecciones de vías respiratorias en niños migrantes indígenas de familias jornaleras del sector cañero en Colima, México. Métodos Estudio transversal descriptivo. Previo consentimiento informado, se entrevistaron 71 madres sobre aspectos sociodemográficos y antecedentes de infecciones de vías respiratorias en sus niños, durante el período decosecha 2010-2011. Se realizó antropometría a 176 niños de 0-14 años y se revisaron clínicamente en busca de infecciones de vías respiratorias superiores e inferiores. Se calcularon frecuencias, porcentajes, Ji cuadrado,razones de momios (cruda y ajustada) e intervalos de confianza del 95 %. Resultados El 52,3 % de los niños tuvieron antecedentes de infecciones respi-ratorias en los últimos seis meses. Los porcentajes de infecciones respiratorias tuvieron diferencias significativas por albergues de residencia. Los factores asociados al antecedente de infección fueronla edad menor a cuatro años (RMA=4,06, IC 95 % (2,03-8,09)) y la residencia temporal en un albergue conmayor hacinamiento en sus cuartos y mayor uso de fogones de leña para cocinar (RMA=1,92, IC95 % (1,01-3,63)). Conclusión Los niños migrantes indígenas de familias jornaleras son vulnerables a las infecciones de vías respiratorias. Los programas preventivos deben segmentar sus acciones por grupos de edad, con énfasis en los niños menores, y favorecer la mejora en las condiciones de salubridad en los albergues.(AU)


Objective Identifying factors associated with respiratory tract infection in indigenous migrant day-laborer families'children living inthe sugarcane sector in Colima, Mexico. Methods This was a cross-sectional study. Having given theirinformed consent, 71 mothers were interviewed for compiling pertinentsociodemographic data and a history of respiratory tract infection in their children during the harvest period 2010-2011. Anthropometry for 176 children aged 0-14 years was recorded and they were clinically examinedfor upper and lower respiratory tract infection. Frequencies, percentages, Chi-square, odds ratio (crude and adjusted) and 95 % confidence intervals were calculated for the resulting data. Results 52.3 % of the children in the sample had a history of respiratory infection occurring during the last six months. Respiratory infectionrates were statistically significant regarding temporary residence in shelters/hostels. The factors associated with a background of infection were being aged less than four years (AOR 4.06 (2.03-8.09) 95 % CI) and having been involved in temporary residence in a shelter,thereby leading tomore overcrowding and an increased use of wood stoves for cooking (AOR 1.92 (1.01-3.63) 95 % CI). ConclusionIndigenous migrant day-laboring families'children are vulnerable to respiratory infection. Prevention programs should target their activities by age-group, emphasizing younger children, and promote improved sanitary conditions in the shelters.(AU)
