Resumo: | ObjetiveThis study evaluated the general health conditions of children living in a rural settlement in Tumiritinga, Vale do Rio Doce, MG, Brazil. MethodsThe obtained data regards the nutritional state (anthropometry and hemoglobin level), intestinal parasitic infestation, breast-feeding period, food habits and vaccination records of 69 children, ranging from zero to 60 months of age. ResultsThe results showed that 7.6% of the children presented low indices of weight/age and height/age correlations, and 47.5% presented low hemoglobin level. Parasitic infestation was detected in 96.1% of the 51 children examined, and 34,0% had incomplete vaccination records. The average period of exclusive breast-feeding was 30 days. The consumption of iron-rich foods was also found inadequate. ConclusionGiven the increasing number of rural settlements in Brazil and given the poor health and nutritional circumstances of the children studied in this work, urgent and effective measures of preventive intervention must be taken to promote this population’s health conditions. |

MétodosForam obtidos dados de 69 crianças de zero a 60 meses de idade, com relação ao estado nutricional (antropometria e nível de hemoglobina), parasitose intestinal, tempo de aleitamento materno, práticas alimentares e calendário de vacinação. ResultadosVerificou-se que 7,6% das crianças apresentavam déficits nos índices peso/idade e estatura/idade e 47,5%, baixa concentração de hemoglobina. A infestação parasitária foi detectada em 96,1% das 51 crianças que fizeram o exame e 34,0% estavam com a vacinação atrasada. A mediana de tempo de aleitamento materno exclusivo foi de 30 dias e observou-se inadequada freqüência de consumo de alimentos-fontes de ferro. ConclusãoDado o aumento dos assentamentos rurais no Brasil e as precárias condições de saúde e nutrição infantil encontradas neste estudo, tornam-se necessárias medidas urgentes e efetivas de intervenção preventiva, voltadas à promoção da saúde dessa população.Núcleo de Editoração – PUC-Campinas2023-08-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/9177Brazilian Journal of Nutrition; Vol. 17 No. 2 (2004): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; Vol. 17 Núm. 2 (2004): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; v. 17 n. 2 (2004): Revista de Nutrição1678-9865reponame:Revista de Nutriçãoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/9177/6561Copyright (c) 2023 Teresa Gontijo de CASTRO, Flávia Milagres CAMPOS, Silvia Eloiza PRIORE, France Maria Gontijo COELHO, Maria Teresa Fialho de Sousa CAMPOS, Sylvia do Carmo Castro FRANCESCHINI, Arquimedes de Almeida RANGELhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGontijo de CASTRO, Teresa Milagres CAMPOS, Flávia PRIORE, Silvia EloizaGontijo COELHO, France Maria Fialho de Sousa CAMPOS, Maria Teresa Castro FRANCESCHINI, Sylvia do Carmode Almeida RANGEL, Arquimedes 2023-08-11T18:02:58Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/9177Revistahttp://www.scielo.br/rnPRIhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/oai||sbi.submissionrn@puc-campinas.edu.br1678-98651415-5273opendoar:2023-08-11T18:02:58Revista de Nutrição - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false |
