Resumo: This study presents data from a survey on height trends in Brazilian Navy enlisted men and recruits born from 1970 to 1977. The sample consisted of 52,574 enlisted men and 4,459 recruits ranging in age from 18.00 to 18.99 years. The statistical processing employed two-way analysis of variance procedure, simple linear regression comparing height and year of birth and multiple analysis controlling for schooling (regression coefficient) and the chi-square. The results show that enlisted men and recruits displayed height increments, characterizing a contemporary process of secular trend. Such increments were also present in the country's various macro-regions. The results were compared to a recent investigation of a national scope the National Survey on Health and Nutrition (PNSN) and both enlisted men and recruits displayed higher median height than that reported by the PNSN. Level of schooling for individuals in the Navy is high, far superior to that of the Brazilian population as a whole. This set of data suggests that young men enlisting in the Navy are on average of a higher socioeconomic status than the Brazilian population in general, which limits possibilities for extrapolating the findings from this research.

A amostra constitui-se de 52574 alistados e 4459 recrutas com idades entre 18,00 e 18,99 anos. Na análise estatística foi utilizado o procedimento de análise de variância ("Two-way"), de regressão linear simples entre estatura e ano de nascimento e múltipla controlando para escolaridade (coeficiente angular) e o qui quadrado. Os resultados demonstram que alistados e recrutas apresentaram incrementos em estatura, caracterizando um processo contemporâneo de tendência secular. Estes incrementos também estiveram presentes nas diversas macro-regiões do país. Os resultados foram comparados a uma recente investigação de representatividade nacional Pesquisa Nacional sobre Saúde e Nutrição (PNSN) e tanto alistados como recrutas apresentaram médias de estatura mais elevadas que as medianas reportadas pela PNSN. O nível de escolaridade dos indivíduos da Marinha é alto e bem superior ao evidenciado para a população brasileira. Este conjunto de informações sugere que os jovens que se alistam na Marinha são em média de status sócio-econômico mais elevado se comparados a população brasileira em geral, o que limita as possibilidades de extrapolação dos achados desta investigação.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública1997-09-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/903Reports in Public Health; Vol. 13 No. 3 (1997): July/SeptemberCadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 13 n. 3 (1997): Julho/Setembro1678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/903/1796https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/903/1797Kac, GilbertoSantos, Ricardo Venturainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:26:09Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/903Revistahttps://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:2024-03-06T13:01:06.876748Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true
