Resumo: | ObjectiveThis study aims to assess the association between geohelminth infections and the physical growth of schoolchildren. MethodsThis is a cross-sectional study with the participation of 1861 children aging from 7 to 14 years who live in a municipality in the Southern region (Recôncavo) of the State of Bahia. The participants were submitted to anthropometric assessment and stool tests. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used as the statistical means to determine the association of interest. ResultsThe risks of stunting were greater among boys with Ascaris lumbricoides (Odds ratio=1.79; confidence interval 95%: 1.07-3.01), Trichuris trichiura (Odds ratio=2.26; confidence interval 95%: 1.33-3.84) and ancylostomiasis (Odds ratio=2.18; confidence interval 95%: 1.28-3.73) when compared with non-infected children. These results remained unchanged after adjustments for the location of the school, children’s ages and other geohelminth infections. ConclusionThese infections did not compromise girls´ growth. These results emphasize the association between geohelminth infection and linear physical growth, indicating the need to implement preventive and curative measures that allow the quality of life of the children to improve since the repercussion that these parasites have on the nutritional status and health of this population is severe. |

MétodosTrata-se de um estudo de corte transversal em que participaram 1851 indivíduos com idades entre 7 e 14 anos, residentes em um município do Recôncavo Sul do Estado da Bahia. Os indivíduos foram submetidos a avaliação antropométrica e a exame parasitológico de fezes. Utilizou-se a análise de regressão logística múltipla como técnica estatística para avaliar a associação de interesse. ResultadosOs riscos de déficit do crescimento linear foram mais pronunciados entre os meninos portadores de infecção por Ascaris lumbricoides (Odds ratio=1,79; intervalo de confiança 95% 1,07-3,01), Trichuris trichiuris (Odds ratio=2,26; intervalo de confiança 95%: 1,33-3,84) e Ancilostomídeos (Odds ratio=2,18; intervalo de confiança 95%: 1,28-3,73), quando comparados com os não infectados. Resultados que se mantiveram após os ajustamentos dos modelos pela área de localização da escola, idade das crianças e demais infecções geohelmínticas. ConclusãoNão foi observado efeito comprometedor dessas infecções sobre o crescimento físico das meninas..Estes resultados ressaltam a associação entre infecção por geohelmintos e crescimento físico linear, indicando a necessidade de implantação de medidas preventivas e curativas que permitam a melhoria do nível de vida das crianças, considerando a grave repercussão que esses parasitas têm no estado nutricional e na saúde dessa população.Núcleo de Editoração – PUC-Campinas2023-09-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/9594Brazilian Journal of Nutrition; Vol. 21 No. 4 (2008): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; Vol. 21 Núm. 4 (2008): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; v. 21 n. 4 (2008): Revista de Nutrição1678-9865reponame:Revista de Nutriçãoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPenghttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/9594/6949Copyright (c) 2023 Rita de Cássia Ribeiro SILVA, Ana Marlucia Oliveira ASSIShttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRibeiro SILVA, Rita de Cássia Oliveira ASSIS, Ana Marlucia 2023-09-04T17:23:04Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/9594Revistahttp://www.scielo.br/rnPRIhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/oai||sbi.submissionrn@puc-campinas.edu.br1678-98651415-5273opendoar:2023-09-04T17:23:04Revista de Nutrição - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false |
