Resumo: Objective: To evaluate the weight-height development and the nutritional status of a sickle cell anemia infantile sample in relation to zinc seric levels and to bone age in comparison to a control group of eutrophic children of the same Brazilian region. Methods: There were studied 66 sickle cell children (GE) and 50 eutrophic ones (GC). The nutritional status was assessed using Rohrer Index, Z-score analysis of weight/age, height/age and body mass index (BMI). Zinc seric level (SZn), growth velocity (VC) and bone age (IO) were assessed using the standards of the National Center for Health Statistic (NCHS) data and the results obtained from the GC evaluation. Results: Both groups had similar Rohrer Index. GE presented weight/age and height/age Z scores and BMI of underdevelopment levels with significant statistical difference. VC and IO were also lower in GE. The mean SZn in GE was significantly lower than in GC. Conclusion: The studied sickle cell children were born with normal stature, after that an important decrease in weight-height development occurred, which may be related to under-nourishing status, bone age delay, smaller growth velocity and worse zinc seric levels.

Métodos: Estudaram-se 66 crianças portadoras de anemia falciforme (GE) e 50 eutróficas (GC). O estado nutricional foi avaliado utilizando os índices de Rohrer, Escore Z para peso e altura para a idade e índice de massa corporal (IMC). O nível de zinco sérico (SZn), a velocidade de crescimento (VC) e a idade óssea (IO) foram avaliados utilizando-se os padrões do Nacional Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) e os dados obtidos da avaliação do GC. Resultados: Os dois grupos apresentaram Índices de Rohrer semelhantes. O GE apresentou escore Z para peso e altura para a idade e o IMC a níveis de hipodesenvolvimento com significância estatística. A VC e a IO também foram mais baixas no GE. O SZn médio no GE foi significativamente mais baixo que no GC. Conclusão: As crianças portadoras de anemia falciforme estudadas nasceram com estatura normal, em seguida ocorreu uma queda significativa no desenvolvimento pondo-estatural, que pode estar relacionado a estados de desnutrição, a atraso na idade óssea, uma menor velocidade de crescimento e a piores níveis séricos de zincoUniversidade de Fortaleza2012-01-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion"Peer-reviewed Article""Avaliado pelos pares""Avaliado pelos pares"application/pdfhttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/55910.5020/559Brazilian Journal in Health Promotion; Vol. 22 No. 3 (2009); 187-193Revista Brasileña en Promoción de la Salud; Vol. 22 Núm. 3 (2009); 187-193Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde; v. 22 n. 3 (2009); 187-1931806-1230reponame:Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúdeinstname:Universidade de Fortaleza (Unifor)instacron:UFORporhttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/559/2271Antunes, Maria de Fátima RebouçasBrandão Neto, JoseSilva, Carlos Antonio Bruno dainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2012-01-10T12:19:53Zoai:ojs.ojs.unifor.br:article/559Revistahttps://periodicos.unifor.br/RBPS/oai1806-12301806-1222opendoar:2012-01-10T12:19:53Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde - Universidade de Fortaleza (Unifor)false
