ABSTRACT
Abstract Objective To investigate child growth, cognitive/language development, and their environmental and biological determinants. Methods This was a cross-sectional, predictive correlation study with all 92 children aged 24-36 months who attended the municipal early childhood education network in a town in the Vale do Jequitinhonha region, in 2011. The socioeconomic profile was determined using the questionnaire of the Associação Brasileira de Empresas de Pesquisa. The socio-demographicand maternal and child health profiles were created through a self-prepared questionnaire. The height-for-age indicator was selected to represent growth. Cognitive/language development was assessed through the Bayley Scale of Infant and Toddler Development. The quality of educational environments was assessed by Infant/Toddler Environment Scale; the home environment was assessed by the Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment. The neighborhood quality was determined by a self-prepared questionnaire. A multivariate linear regression analysis was performed. Results Families were predominantly from socioeconomic class D, with low parental education. The prevalence of stunted growth was 14.1%; cognitive and language development were below average at 28.6% and 28.3%, respectively. Educational institutions were classified as inadequate, and 69.6% of homes were classified as presenting a risk for development. Factors such as access to parks and pharmacies and perceived security received the worst score regarding neighborhood environment. Biological variables showed a greater association with growth and environmental variables with development. Conclusion The results showed a high prevalence of stunting and below-average results for cognitive/language development among the participating children. Both environmental and biological factors were related to growth and development. However, biological variables showed a greater association with growth, whereas environmental variables were associated with development.
RESUMO
Resumo Objetivo Investigar o crescimento e desenvolvimento cognitivo/linguagem de crianças e seus determinantes ambientais e biológicos. Método Estudo transversal, correlacional preditivo, com todas as 92 crianças entre 24-36 meses, frequentadoras da rede municipal de educação infantil de uma cidade no Vale do Jequitinhonha, ano 2011. Traçou-se o perfil econômico utilizando-se o questionário da Associação Brasileira de Empresas de Pesquisa. O perfil sociodemográfico e saúde materno-infantil por questionário próprio. Elegeu-se o indicador estatura/idade para representar o crescimento. O desenvolvimento cognitivo/linguagem foi avaliado por meio do Bayley Scale of Infant and Toddler Development. Avaliou-se os ambientes educacionais pelo Infant/Toddler Environment Scale, e o ambiente domiciliar pelo Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment. Aferiu-se a qualidade da vizinhança através de questionário próprio. Foram realizadas análises de regressão linear multivariada. Resultados As famílias eram predominantemente da classe D com baixa escolaridade dos pais. A prevalência de déficit de estatura foi 14,1%; desenvolvimento abaixo da média na linguagem 28,6% e cognitivo 28,3%. As instituições educacionais classificaram-se como inadequadas e 69,6% dos domicílios como de risco para o desenvolvimento. Aspectos como, disponibilidade de praças e farmácias e segurança foram aspectos de pior pontuação no ambiente vizinhança. Variáveis biológicas demonstraram maior associação com o crescimento e variáveis ambientais ao desenvolvimento. Conclusão Observou-se elevado déficit de estatura e de resultados abaixo da média para desenvolvimento cognitivo/linguagem entre as crianças participantes. Fatores ambientais e biológicos relacionaram-se tanto ao crescimento quanto ao desenvolvimento. Entretanto, variáveis biológicas demonstraram maior associação com o crescimento e variáveis ambientais com o desenvolvimento.
