RESUMO
OBJETIVO:Comparar a classificação do estado nutricional de pré-escolares segundo três curvas de crescimento. MÉTODOS:Estudo transversal realizado com 350 crianças de 2 a 5 anos de instituições públicas e particulares do município de Viçosa (MG). A partir do peso e da estatura foram obtidos os índices antropométricos: peso para idade, peso para estatura, índice de massa corporal para idade e estatura para idade. Para classificação de peso insuficiente (menor que -1 escore-Z), eutrofia e excesso de peso (maior que +1 escore-Z), foram consideradas as curvas do National Center for Health Statistics 1977, Centers for Disease Control 2000 e World Health Organization 2006. Para avaliar a concordância entre as curvas, foi utilizada a estatística Kappa. Consideraram-se o National Center for Health Statistics, já recomendado pelo Ministério da Saúde, e a World Health Organization, atual recomendação, como padrão de referência, a fim de se compararem os valores de sensibilidade, especificidade, valor preditivo positivo e valor preditivo negativo. RESULTADOS: A prevalência de peso insuficiente foi maior segundo o Centers for Disease Control. Já com relação ao excesso de peso e deficit estatural, maiores prevalências foram obtidas pela World Health Organization. O National Center for Health Statistics e a World Health Organization apresentaram valores mais próximos de sensibilidade e valor preditivo positivo quando comparados com Centers for Disease Control, assim como também apresentaram melhor correlação (k>0,61). CONCLUSÃO: Foram encontradas diferenças nas prevalências de deficits nutricionais, tendo as curvas da World Health Organization apresentado maiores valores de sensibilidade. A adoção dessas curvas pelos profissionais da área da saúde permite uma avaliação mais adequada do crescimento infantil por tratar-se de um padrão de crescimento atual, recomendado para uso internacional.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: This study compared the classification of the nutritional status of preschoolers according to three different growth curves. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 350 children aged 2 to 5 years from public and private institutions in the county of Viçosa (MG). The following anthropometric indices were obtained from weight and height measurements: weight-for-age, weight-for-height, body mass index-for-age and height-for-age. The classification of underweight (below -1Z-score), well nourished and overweight (above +1Z-score) was done according to National Center for Health Statistics 1977, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2000 and World Health Organization 2006 curves. Kappa statistics was used to evaluate conformity among curves. The National Center for Health Statistics was considered, which is already recommended by the Ministry of Health, and the World Health Organization, which is currently recommended as the reference standard, to compare the sensitivity and specificity values, positive predictive value and negative predictive value. RESULTS: The prevalence of underweight was higher when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention curves were used. On the other hand, regarding overweight and stunting, the World Health Organization curves resulted in the highest prevalence. Both the World Health Organization and the National Center for Health Statistics curves showed closest sensitivity and positive predictive values, as well as better correlation (k>0.61), when compared with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention curves. CONCLUSION: There are differences in the prevalence of nutritional deficits, and the World Health Organization curves were the ones which showed the highest sensitivities. The use of these curves by health professionals enables a more adequate evaluation of growth during childhood, since it regards a current growing pattern which is also recommended for international use.
