ABSTRACT

The nutritional status of under-five children and the association between social conditions and child stature were examined using data from the program to control malnutrition and mortality in the Guarita Indigenous Territory, southern Brazil, 2001-2002. Anthropometric indices were calculated in z-scores of the CDC 2000 reference. At entrance into the program, 34.7% of the children presented stunting, 12.9% low weight for age, 4.2% wasting, and 8.7% overweight. Stunting was most prevalent among boys and children older than one year. Multivariate linear regression showed that, on average, children were shorter when the drinking water was collected directly in the environment (p = 0.046), there was no refrigerator for food preservation (p = 0.021), maternal age was less than 16 years at the birth of the oldest child among the under-fives (p = 0.019), and the mother was illiterate (p = 0.083). Sewage facilities only had an effect on the unadjusted model. There was no evidence that the number of under-five children had an effect on stature. Social inclusion policies and health and social provision which takes these factors into account are potentially relevant for improving health and nutrition in this population.

ABSTRACT

O estado nutricional de criancas menores de cinco anos e fatores associados à estatura foram estudados usando dados de um programa para controle da desnutricão e mortalidade na Terra Indígena Guarita, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, 2001/2002. índices antropométricos foram calculados em escores-z da referência CDC/2000. Na primeira avaliacão pelo programa, 34,7 por cento, das criancas apresentavam baixa estatura, 12,9 por cento baixo peso para idade, 4,2 por cento baixo peso para estatura e 8,7 por cento sobrepeso. Baixa estatura foi mais prevalente em meninos e maiores de um ano. Modelos de regressão linear múltipla sugerem que a altura foi, em média, menor quando a água para alimentacão era de fonte/poco/rio (p = 0,046), não havia geladeira para conservar alimentos (p = 0,021), a mãe era menor de 16 anos ao nascimento do mais velho entre os filhos menores de cinco anos (p = 0,019) e analfabeta (p = 0,083). O destino dos dejetos evidenciou efeito apenas no modelo bruto. Não houve evidência de efeito do número de filhos menores de cinco anos. Políticas de inclusão social e provisão de recursos sociais e de saúde são potencialmente relevantes para a saúde e nutricão nessa populacão.
