ABSTRACT

This cross-sectional school-based study in São Leopoldo, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil, evaluated the association between food insecurity and overweight in first grade students in the municipal elementary school system. A total of 2,369 students were invited to participate, of whom 847 were examined, and of these, 782 had data available on weight and height. Dietary data were obtained from a parent or guardian. Food insecurity was measured by the Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale (EBIA). Data on weight and height were provided by the Nutrition Service of the Municipal Department of Education. Prevalence rates for overweight and food insecurity were 38.1% and 45.1%, respectively. After controlling for potential confounders, children with food insecurity had 22% lower odds of overweight. Notwithstanding the inverse association between the exposure and outcome, this sample showed high rates of food insecurity and overweight, revealing a complex relationship and indicating that further research is needed to understand it. Robust public policies are critical for addressing these conditions.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a frequência de adesão aos "10 Passos da Alimentação Saudável para Crianças" e fatores associados em escolares. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal com 813 escolares do 1º ano das Escolas Municipais de Ensino Fundamental de São Leopoldo (RS). Os dados foram obtidos das mães/responsáveis por meio de um questionário com questões sobre alimen-tação, atividade física, tempo de tela e características sociodemográficas. O critério de adesão a cada passo foi definido pelos pesquisadores. As associações foram analisadas por meio do teste Qui-quadrado de Pearson e de tendência linear. RESULTADOS: O número médio de passos atingido foi 3,9, e nenhum escolar aderiu a todos os passos. O Passo 4 (consumir feijão com arroz no mínimo cinco vezes/semana) apresentou maior frequência de adesão (99,8%), e aqueles que envolvem medidas restritivas, como evitar alimentos gordurosos/frituras (Passo 6) e guloseimas (Passo 7), foram os menos frequentemente atingidos, respectivamente, 2,1 e 0,0%. O Passo 10 (ser ativo e ter tempo de tela <2 horas/dia) também apresentou baixa adesão (14,5%). Maior escolaridade materna e melhor nível econômico associou-se positivamente com o Passo 5 (consumo diário de grupo do leite e das carnes), o contrário sendo observado para o Passo 2 (incluir diariamente cereais, tubérculos e raízes nas refeições) e para o Passo 10. CONCLUSÃO: O estudo revelou um cenário desfavorável, que indica a necessidade de ações de diferentes atores (governo, produtores, escola e família) para aumentar a frequência de adesão aos 10 Passos pelos escolares. .


OBJECTIVE: To assess the frequency of adherence to the "10 Steps to Healthy Eating for Children" and associated factors in schoolchildren. METHODS: The present study had a cross-sectional design and was conducted on 813 first grade students from elementary public schools in São Leopoldo (RS). Data were obtained using a questionnaire completed by mothers/guardians. It consisted of questions about food, physical activity, screen time, and socio-demographic characteristics. The criterion of adherence to every step was defined by the researchers. Pearson's chi-square and linear trends were used to evaluate the factors associated with the frequency of adherence to each step of the recommendations investigated. RESULTS: The average number of steps of the "Healthy Eating for Children" recommendations actually followed was 4.9, and none of the students followed all of the steps. Step 4 (consumption of the beans and rice at least five times/week) showed higher compliance (99.8%), and those involving restrictive measures, such as avoiding fatty foods and fried foods (Step 6) and sweets, soft drinks, and sugar-sweetened beverages (Step 7), showed the least compliance, respectively, 2.1 and 0.0%. Step 10 (be active and have screen time <2 hours/day) also showed low compliance (14.5%). Respondents' (mothers/guardians) higher level of education and higher economic level were positively associated with Step 5 (daily consumption of milk and meat groups). The opposite was observed for Step 2 (daily consumption of cereals, stem tubers, tuberous roots) and for Step 10 (mentioned above). CONCLUSION: This study revealed an unfavorable scenario for the population investigated, which indicates the need for actions by different actors (government, school, family, and fruit, nut, cereal, grain, and vegetable growers), in order to increase the frequency of adherence to the 10 Steps by young students. .

ABSTRACT

Estudo transversal, de base escolar, realizado em São Leopoldo, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, com o objetivo de avaliar a associação entre insegurança alimentar e excesso de peso em escolares do 1º ano do Ensino Fundamental das escolas municipais. Dois mil, trezentos e sessenta e nove escolares foram convidados a participar, 847 foram investigados e destes, 782 tinham dados de peso e altura. Os dados foram obtidos com as mães/responsáveis. Insegurança alimentar foi medida com a Escala Brasileira de Insegurança Alimentar (EBIA). Peso e altura foram obtidos com o Serviço de Nutrição da Secretaria Municipal de Educação. As prevalências de excesso de peso e insegurança alimentar foram, respectivamente, 38,1% e 45,1%. Após ajuste para fatores de confusão, escolares com insegurança alimentar apresentaram probabilidade 22% menor de ter excesso de peso quando comparados com aqueles sem insegurança alimentar. Este estudo identificou elevadas prevalências de insegurança alimentar e excesso de peso, com associação inversa entre estas variáveis. Por um lado, esses resultados revelam a complexidade dessa relação, o que exige mais estudos para compreendê-la, e, por outro, mostra a necessidade de políticas públicas robustas para enfrentar essas condições.

Estudio transversal para evaluar la asociación entre la inseguridad alimentaria y el sobrepeso en niños matriculados en el primer año de la enseñanza primaria en las escuelas municipales de São Leopoldo, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Se invitó a 2.369 estudiantes, 847 fueron investigados y de éstos, 782 tenían datos sobre el peso y la altura. Los datos se obtuvieron de los padres/tutores. La inseguridad alimentaria se midió a través de la Escala Brasileña de Inseguridad Alimentaria (EBIA). Peso y altura se obtuvieron con el Equipo de Nutrición de la Educación Municipal. Las prevalencias de sobrepeso y inseguridad alimentaria fueron, respectivamente, 38,1% y 45,1%. Después de ajustar por factores de confusión, los niños con inseguridad alimentaria tenían una probabilidad 22% menor de tener sobrepeso, en comparación con los que no tienen inseguridad alimentaria. Este estudio identificó una alta prevalencia de la inseguridad alimentaria y sobrepeso, con una asociación inversa entre estas variables. Por un lado, estos resultados ponen de manifiesto la complejidad de esta relación, lo que requiere más estudios para entender, y por otro, demuestra la necesidad de políticas públicas sólidas para hacer frente a estas condiciones.

ABSTRACT

Descrever a prevalência de consultas nos serviços de saúde com médico ou enfermeiro em crianças menores de cinco anos de idade nos municípios de Caracol e Anísio de Abreu, Piauí e identificar os fatores associados. Métodos: trata­se de estudo transversal de base populacional com crianças de 0 a 59 meses. A coleta de dados foi realizada mediante aplicação de questionários entre julho e setembro de 2008. Utilizou­se para análise multivariada a Regressão de Poisson e o modelo hierarquizado. Resultados: entre as 1640 crianças incluídas no estudo, a prevalência de consultas nos serviços de saúde em Caracol foi de 44,2 por cento (IC95 por cento 40,1­47,4) e em Anísio de Abreu foi de 48,5 por cento (IC95 por cento 44,8­52,1). Após ajuste para eventuais fatores de confusão, consultar esteve associado com maior renda familiar e menor distância do serviço de saúde em Caracol. Em Anísio de Abreu, o desfecho associou­se com abastecimento de água e idade das crianças. Conclusões: a análise encontrou diferenças nos cuidados à saúde relacionados às condições socioeconômicas entre os municípios, apontando para iniquidades no sistema de saúde...


To describe the prevalence of health service consultations with a doctor or a nurse among children under five years of age in the municipalities of Caracol and Anísio de Abreu, Piauí and to identify associated factors. Methods: a population­based cross­sectional study was carried out with children aged between 0 and 59 months. Data was collected using questionnaires between July and September 2008. Poisson's Regression and the hierarchized model were used for multivariate analysis. Results: among the 1640 children included in the study, the prevalence of health service consultations in Caracol was 44. percent (CI95 percent 40.1­47.4) and 48. percent (CI95 percent 44.8­52.1) in Anísio de Abreu. After adjustment for any confounding factors, consultation was found to be associated with higher household income and shorter distance from the health service in Caracol. In Anísio de Abreu, the outcome was associated with water supply and the child's age. Conclusions: the analysis found differences in health care related to socioeconomic conditions between the municipalities, indicating inequities in the health service...

ABSTRACT

Objectives: To evaluate the neuropsychomotor development of children treated in an outpatient clinic, using the Denver Developmental Screening Test II (DDST-R). Methods: This was an exploratory descriptive research using a quantitative approach, conducted in the outpatient clinic of the Project Einstein in the Community of Paraisopolis (PECP), São Paulo, Brazil. The sample consisted of 35 children, from birth to 6 years of age, most of them from 1 to 3 years old (19; 54.3%). They underwent the Denver II Test, which assesses four neuropsychomotor development areas: gross motor, fine motor adaptive, language and personal-social. Results: Most of the children (24, 68.6%) had test results compatible with normal development, while 10 (28.6%) had a "risk" test and 1 (2.9%) was "untestable" due to refusal to carry out the proposed activities. As to the items evaluated in each area, 7 children (20%) showed a developmental "delay" (when the child does not perform the activity passed by more than 90% of the children of his/her age) and 18 (51%) required "attention" (when the child does not perform the activity passed by 75 to 90% of the children of his/her age), predominantly in the language area. Conclusions: Although most of the children (68.6%) presented normal development in the test, we point out that in the remaining children (31.4%), the number of items classified as "delay" or "attention", and tests classified as "risk" or "untestable" suggest impairment in neuropsychomotor development. We underscore the importance of the routine administration of the DDST-R for an early detection of developmental disabilities and thus establish primary prevention programs.


Objetivo: Avaliar o desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor de crianças atendidas em um ambulatório, utilizando o Teste de Triagem de Desenvolvimento de Denver II (TTDD-R). Métodos: Pesquisa descritiva exploratória, com abordagem quantitativa, realizada no ambulatório do Projeto Einstein na Comunidade de Paraisópolis (PECP), em São Paulo. A amostra constituiu-se de 35 crianças, de 0 a 6 anos de idade, sendo que a maioria tinha entre 1 e 3 anos (19; 54,3%). Elas foram submetidas ao Teste de Denver II, que avalia quatro áreas do desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor: motor-grosseiro, motor fino-adaptativo, linguagem e pessoal-social. Resultados: A maioria das crianças (24; 68,6%) apresentou teste compatível com desenvolvimento normal, enquanto 10 (28,6%) apresentaram teste "de risco" e 1 (2,9%), resultado "não-testável", devido às recusas em realizar as atividades propostas. Quanto aos itens avaliados em cada área, 7 crianças (20%) apresentaram "atrasos" (quando a criança não executa atividade já realizada por mais de 90% das crianças com a mesma idade) e 18 (51%) apresentaram "cuidados" (quando a criança não executa atividade que já é feita por 75 a 90% das crianças de sua idade), com predomínio na área da linguagem. Conclusões: Embora a maioria das crianças (68,6%) tenha apresentado desenvolvimento normal no teste, ressalta-se que, nas demais (31,4%), o número de itens com "atrasos" ou "cuidados", assim como de testes de "risco" e "não-testável" sugerem prejuízo no desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor. Enfatiza-se a importância da aplicação cotidiana do TTDD-R em ambulatórios, visando detectar precocemente áreas de desenvolvimento com deficiência para estabelecer programas de prevenção primária.
