Resumo: | The objective of this study was to characterize the malnutrition prevalence among infants below one year old attended by Christian Fund for Children in two outlying districts of Fortaleza: President Kennedy and Álvaro Weyne. To diagnose the presence of protein energy malnutrition, obesity and iron deficiency anemia, it the following indicators were selected: birth weight < 2500 g, weight/height, height/age and weigth/age < -2 standard deviations below median National Center for Health of Statistics reference population; weight/height >+ 2 standard deviations above median National Center for Health of Statistics reference population; and hemoglobin < 11 g/dl, hematocrit < 32%, mean corpuscular volume < 72 fl and mean corpuscular hemoglobin < 24 pg. Birth weight was obtained during interview, while the other anthropometric measurements and the samples of blood were collected in one of the units of Christian Fund for Children, following the recommended technical procedures. Of the 110 children enrolled, 96 were weighed and measured and 75 made blood test. Data analysis revealed 7% of low birth weight, 10% of chronic malnutrition, 8% of obesity and 60% of anemia. It is possible that diet has contributed to the nutritional damage. It seems essential the accomplishment of studies on food practice in these communities. |

O presente estudo foi realizado com a finalidade de caracterizar a prevalência da má nutrição entre crianças menores de um ano vinculadas ao Fundo Cristão para Crianças em dois bairros periféricos de Fortaleza: Presidente Kennedy e Álvaro Weine. Desnutrição protéico-energética, obesidade e anemia ferropriva foram diagnosticadas através dos seguintes indicadores: peso ao nascer <2500 g, peso/altura, altura/idade e peso/idade <-2 desvios-padrão e peso/altura >+2 desvios-padrão da mediana de referência do National Center for Health Statistics, hemoglobina < 11 g/dl, hematócrito < 32%, volume corpuscular médio <72 fl e hemoglobina corpuscular média < 24 pg. O peso ao nascer foi obtido através da entrevista domiciliar, enquanto que as demais medidas antropométricas e as amostras de sangue foram colhidas em uma das unidades do Fundo Cristão para Crianças, seguindo os procedimentos técnicos recomendados. Das 110 crianças catalogadas, 96 foram pesadas e medidas e 75 fizeram o exame de sangue. A análise dos dados revelou 7% de baixo peso ao nascer, 10% de desnutrição crônica, 8% de obesidade e 60% de anemia. Possivelmente, a dieta que as crianças receberam contribuiu para o comprometimento nutricional encontrado. Parece essencial a realização de mais estudos sobre prática alimentar nestas comunidades.
