ABSTRACT
A cross-sectional study was carried out in the Jaú National Park (1999), involving 49 pre-school children and 130 school children, in order to evaluate their nutritional status according to antropometric indicators. According to the criteria of the WHO (1986), 23,9% of pre-school children and 9,4% school children presented a height to ratio indicative of chronic undernourishment. Weight for heigth ratios indicative of acute undernutrition were detected in 2,2% of the pre-school and 1,6% school children. These results are an indication of the precarious state of health and nutrition of the study population.
RESUMO
Foi realizado no Parque Nacional do Jaú (1999) estudo transversal, onde avaliou-se o estado nutricional de 49 pré-escolares e 130 escolares, adotando-se os critérios propostos pela OMS (1986). Segundo estes critérios, 23,9% dos pré-escolares e 9,4% dos escolares apresentavam inadequação no indicador "altura/idade" (desnutrição crônica). A inadequação no indicador "peso/altura" (desnutrição aguda) foi constatada em apenas 2,2% dos pré-escolares e 1,6% dos escolares. Estes resultados evidenciam as precárias condições de saúde e nutrição da referida população.
