ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: Se carece de datos sobre situación nutricional y factores de riesgo cardiovascular y renal en pediatría en la provincia del Chaco, una de las más pobres y con mayor población pediátrica de Argentina. OBJETIVO: Determinar la prevalencia de factores de riesgo nutricionales (bajo peso/talla, baja talla/edad, bajo peso y sobrepeso), factores de riesgo perinatales (edad materna y edad gestacional al nacimiento), cardiovasculares y renales (sobrepeso, hipertensión arterial y proteinuria), correlacionados con el peso al nacer, en población de un mes a 18 años del conglomerado urbano del Gran Resistencia, provincia del Chaco. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo observacional de corte transversal. Los participantes se seleccionaron por muestreo probabilístico por conglomerados según peso de la población en cada estrato, de escuelas para niños de 6 a 18 años y de centros de salud para menores de 6.RESULTADOS: Se estudiaron 850 niños. La prevalencia de factores de riesgo fue: 24% alto riesgo por edad materna; 21% nacidos pre-término; 7,2% bajo peso al nacer; 9,1% baja talla/edad; 4,2% bajo peso/talla; 11,8% alto peso/talla; 6,3% bajo peso/edad; 2,4% proteinuria; y 6,8% hipertensión arterial. En menores de 6 años con bajo peso al nacer comparados con nacidos con peso normal, la odd ratio para presentar bajo peso/talla fue de 6,15, y para bajo peso/edad de 5,02; para nacidos con alto peso comparados con nacidos con peso normal, la odd ratio para sobrepeso fue 3,07. CONCLUSIONES: La población pediátrica estudiada presenta una situación de alto riesgo nutricional que correlaciona con el peso al nacer. La prevalencia de proteinuria e hipertensión arterial no se asociaron al peso al nacer


INTRODUCTION: There is a lack of data on nutritional status and cardiovascular and renal risk factors in pediatrics in the province of Chaco, one of the poorest provinces and with the largest pediatric population in Argentina. OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of these risk factors: nutritional (low weight/height, low height/age, low weight and overweight); perinatal (maternal age and gestational age at birth), as well as cardiovascular and renal (overweight, hypertension and proteinuria), correlated with birth weight, in population from one month old to 18 years old in the urban agglomeration of Gran Resistencia, province of Chaco. MATERIAL AND METHODS: An observational descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted. Participants were selected by probabilistic sampling through agglomerations according to population weight in each strata, taken from schools for 6-18 year-old children and from health centers for children under 6. RESULTS: A total of 850 children were studied. The prevalence of risk factors was: 24% with high risk for maternal age, 21% with preterm birth, 7.2% with low birth weight, 9.1% with low height/age, 4.2% with low weight/height, 11.8% with high weight/height, 6.3% with low weight/age, 2.4% with proteinuria and 6.8% with high blood pressure. In children under 6 years of age with low birth weight, compared to those with normal birth weight, the odd ratio for low weight/height was 6.15, and for low weight/age it was 5.02; for those born with a high weight compared to those born with normal weight, the odd ratio for overweight was 3.07. CONCLUSIONS: the pediatric population which was studied presents a situation of high nutritional risk that correlates with birth weight. The prevalence of proteinuria and high blood pressure were not associated with birth weight
