RESUMEN
Se analizaron datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Nutrición de 1988, aplicada en una muestra probabilística de 13 236 viviendas y 7426 menores de cinco años, con representatividad nacional y de cuatro regiones (Norte, Centro, Sur y Distrito Federal), Se obtuvieron riesgos de emaciación y de déficit severo de talla y razones de momios por región, por municipio según proporción de población indígena y grado de urbanización, por educación de la madre y del padre, por género y por diversas combinaciones de estos estratos. Se encontró un elevado riesgo de déficit de talla y un menor riesgo de emaciación. El déficit de talla es mayor en municipios predominantemente indígenas, rurales, en las regiones Sur y Centro y en familias de madres con baja educación formal y condiciones de vivienda pobres. Los resultados pueden ser útiles para el diseño de políticas de alimentación y nutrición y para la focalización de programas
ABSTRACT
Data from a National Nutrition Survey conducted in 1988 in a probability sample of 13 236 households and 7 426 children under five, representative at the national level and for four regions (North, Center, South, and Mexico City), were analyzed. Risks for wasting and stunting and odds ratios were obtained by region, by district according to proportion of indigenous population and by level of urbanization, by level of education of both parents, by gender, and by various combinations of the former strata. A high risk of stunting and a low risk of wasting were found. The risk of stunting is greater in predominantly indigenous and rural districts, in the South and Center, and in families of mothers with low education and poor housing conditions. The results can be used for food and nutrition policy planning and for targeting nutrition intervention programs.
