Resumo: Health and nutritional characteristics of children under 5 years of age were investigated through a cross-sectional study in 5 small cities from different regions in the State of São Paulo, Brazil, which displayed different socioeconomic profiles: Bady Bassit, Bofete, Jaborandi, Morungaba, and Riversul. Data were obtained using a systematic sampling from the 1991 National Census. Anthropometric data were collected from all children under 5 years of age living in the selected households. Nutritional status was determined by height/age and weight/height according to the National Center for Health Statistics - NCHS standards. Stunting was defined as HAZ below - 2 Z scores and obesity as WHZ above 2 Z scores. The study sample consisted of 987 children (490 boys and 497 girls). Prevalence of obesity was 6.6% (65) and stunting 5.0% (51). Per capita income displayed a significant and positive association with obesity (p = 0.018), in contrast to an inverse association with stunting (p = 0.038).

A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de sorteio sistemático dos domicílios com base no Censo Demográfico de 1991. Foram consideradas com déficit de altura crianças com o índice altura/idade menor que -2 scores Z, e para a obesidade aquelas com o índice de peso/altura maior que 2 scores Z, segundo o National Center for Health Statistics, Estados Unidos. A amostra foi composta por 987 crianças (490 meninos e 497 meninas). A prevalência de obesidade foi de 6,6% e o déficit de altura de 5,2%. Na análise das prevalências de déficit de altura e de obesidade desagregadas por categorias de renda per capita em salários mínimos, são encontradas diferenças significativas, onde a prevalência de obesidade aumenta com o aumento da renda per capita (p = 0,018), enquanto que o déficit de altura apresentou comportamento inverso (p = 0,038).Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2004-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/2292Reports in Public Health; Vol. 20 No. 6 (2004): November/DecemberCadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 20 n. 6 (2004): Novembro/Dezembro1678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/2292/4576https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/2292/4577Saldiva, Silvia Regina Dias MediciEscuder, Maria Mercedes LoureiroVenâncio, Sonia IsoyamaBenicio, Maria Helena D'Aquinoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:26:55Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/2292Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:02:41.845345Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true
