ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To analyze the influence of the socioeconomic context of the community on chronic child malnutrition in Colombia. METHODS We estimated multilevel logistic models using data from the National Demographic and Health Survey in Colombia in 2010. The final sample included 11,448 children under the age of five gathered in 3,528 communities. In addition, we used the Principal Component Analysis with polychoric correlations for the construction of composed indicators of wealth, autonomy of the woman, and the use and access to the health system. RESULTS The average level of community wealth was significantly and independently associated with chronic malnutrition in early childhood, more than the socioeconomic status of the household itself. At the individual and household level, the probability of chronic malnutrition was higher for children from mothers with low levels of autonomy and use and access to the health system, mothers who had their first child in adolescence, and mothers who live in homes in the lowest wealth quintiles. In contrast, children from mothers with a body mass index > 25 and with at least secondary education (versus no education) were less likely to suffer from chronic malnutrition. CONCLUSIONS Research, programs, and interventions need to take into account the physical, economic, and social context of communities to contribute with the improvement of the nutritional status of early childhood in Colombia.


RESUMEN OBJETIVO Analizar la influencia del contexto socioeconómico de la comunidad sobre la desnutrición infantil crónica en Colombia. MÉTODOS Utilizando datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Demografía y Salud en Colombia en 2010, se estimaron modelos logísticos multinivel. La muestra final incluyó 11.448 niños menores de cinco años anidados en 3.528 comunidades. Además, se utilizó el Análisis de Componentes Principales usando correlaciones policóricas para la construcción de indicadores compuestos de riqueza, autonomía de la mujer y el uso y acceso al sistema de salud. RESULTADOS El nivel de riqueza promedio de la comunidad resultó significativa e independientemente asociado con la desnutrición crónica en la primera infancia, por encima y más allá del propio estatus socioeconómico del hogar. A nivel individual y del hogar, la probabilidad de desnutrición crónica fue mayor para niños de madres con bajos niveles de autonomía y uso y acceso al sistema de salud, que han tenido su primer hijo en la adolescencia y que viven en hogares en los quintiles más bajos de riqueza. En contraste, niños de madres con un índice de masa corporal > 25 y con al menos educación secundaria (versus sin educación) tuvieron menor probabilidad de padecer desnutrición crónica. CONCLUSIONES Investigaciones, programas e intervenciones que tengan en cuenta el contexto físico, económico y social de las comunidades son necesarias para contribuir a mejorar el estado nutricional de la primera infancia en Colombia.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of nutritional deficiency among patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study using data obtained from the Brazilian Case Registry Database and from the medical records of patients diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis (15-59 years of age) residing in one of the municipalities that make up the 16th Regional Health District of the state of Bahia. We calculated the incidence, lethality, and mortality rates, as well as the prevalence of nutritional deficiency, as evaluated by body mass index. Demographic, social, clinical, and epidemiological data were collected. RESULTS: Of the 72 confirmed cases of tuberculosis, 59 (81.9%) were in males, and 21 (29.2%) of the patients were in the 40-49 year age bracket. The majority (85.3%) described themselves as Mulatto or Black; 55.2% reported using alcohol; and approximately 90% were treated as outpatients. In the district and age bracket studied, the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis was 30.6/100,000 population. Among the 72 patients, data regarding nutritional status was available for 34. Of those, 50% and 25%, respectively, presented nutritional deficiency at the beginning and at the end of treatment. No statistically significant differences were found between normal-weight and malnourished patients regarding the characteristics studied. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of nutritional deficiency was high among our sample of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. This underscores the importance of nutritional follow-up for the assessment of tuberculosis treatment in the decision-making process regarding therapeutic interventions. .


OBJETIVO: Determinar a prevalência de deficiência nutricional entre pacientes com tuberculose pulmonar. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal tendo como fontes de dados o Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação e prontuários médicos de pacientes diagnosticados com tuberculose pulmonar (15-59 anos de idade) residentes nos municípios da 16a Regional de Saúde do estado da Bahia. Foram calculados os coeficientes de incidência, letalidade e mortalidade por tuberculose e a prevalência de deficiência nutricional, avaliada pelo índice de massa corpórea. Informações sobre características demográficas, sociais e clínico-epidemiológicas foram coletadas. RESULTADOS: Dos 72 casos confirmados de tuberculose, 59 (81,9%) eram do sexo masculino, e 21 (29,2%) tinham 40-49 anos de idade. A maioria declarou-se como pardo ou preto (85,3%). O tratamento foi ambulatorial em aproximadamente 90% dos casos, e 55,2% referiram uso de álcool. A incidência de tuberculose pulmonar foi de 30,6/100.000 habitantes no distrito e faixa etária estudados. Dos 72 pacientes, 34 apresentavam dados relativos ao estado nutricional. Desses, 50% e 25%, respectivamente, apresentavam deficiência nutricional ao início e ao final do tratamento. Não houve diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre pacientes eutróficos e desnutridos quanto às características estudadas. CONCLUSÕES: A prevalência de deficiência nutricional foi elevada em nossa amostra de pacientes com tuberculose pulmonar. Isso reforça a importância do acompanhamento nutricional para a avaliação do tratamento da tuberculose ...

ABSTRACT

O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a associação entre a desnutrição energético-protéica e episódios de infecção respiratória aguda em crianças menores de cinco anos. Trata-se de um estudo de coorte retrospectivo conduzido entre janeiro e março de 2008 com menores usuários de uma Unidade Básica de Saúde da Família de Juiz de Fora, MG, Brasil, com idade entre 0 e 5 anos. No grupo de exposição foram avaliadas 55 crianças com DEP prévia ou atual acompanhadas no Serviço de Atenção ao Desnutrido local. O grupo controle foi constituído por 110 crianças eutróficas aleatoriamente escolhidas no serviço de Puericultura da unidade. A associação bruta e ajustada entre DEP e infecção respiratória foi estimada pelo o cálculo do risco relativo e respectivos intervalos de confiança de 95%. A coleta de dados ocorreu de janeiro e março de 2008. O tabagismo materno e a realização incompleta ou não realização de pré-natal estiveram associadas à ocorrência de DEP (p<0,001). A presença de DEP associou-se ao aumento na freqüência de episódios de IVAS e IVAI (p=0,03). Na regressão logística, houve associação entre tabagismo doméstico e IRA (RR 2, 64; IC 1,28-5,47) e a DEP e IRA(RR 6,25; IC 1,12-62,5). A ocorrência de DEP é um fator de risco para a ocorrência de IRA, especialmente IVAI; bem como o tabagismo materno/doméstico é um fator de risco independente para a ocorrência de desnutrição e infecção respiratória.


The aim of this study was to investigate the association of protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) and episodes of acute respiratory infection (ARI) in children under five years of age. This is a restrospective cohort study involving children seen at a Family Health Clinic (Unidade Básicade Saúde da Família) in the municipality of Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The case group consisted of 55 children with PEM, followed up by the local malnutrition clinic. The controls were 110 eutrophic children randomly chosen from the local well baby clinic. Acute respiratory infection encompassed both upper acute respiratory infections(UARI) and lower acute respiratory infections(LARI), and consisted of an episode of flu, pharyngitis/tonsillitis, otitis media, bronchitis, or bronchopneumonia/pneumonia. Crude and logistic regression adjusted relative risks, with 95% confidence intervals, were obtained. Data collection was performed from January to March, 2008. Maternal smoking and incomplete or non-existent prenatal care were associated with PEM (p<0.001). PEM was associated with a higher frequency of ARI (both UARI andLARI) (p=0.03). Logistic regression showed association of house hold smoking with ARI (RR 2. 64; CI 1.28-5.47)and of PEM with ARI (RR 6.25; CI 1.12-62.5). PEM is a risk factor for ARI, especially LARI. Maternal/house hold smoking is an independent risk factor for malnutrition and respiratory infection.
