Resumo: A random population sample was studied with a view to determining the proportion of children of less than on year of age whose weigth is less than the minimum adequate weigth (MAW) for their age, as well as to identifying factors of a socio-demographic nature that could be associated with this problem and the socio-sanitary importance of these factors. The sample studied was of children of less than one year of age, born between 05/01/1990 and 04/ 30/1991, whose mothers were entited to the services of the Mexican Institute of Social Security, in Tlaquepaque and Tonalá, municipalities adjacent to the Metropolitan Zone of Guadalajara, the second most important city in Mexico. The ponderal assessment of the infants was performed on the basis of tables which the Latin-American Perinatology Center had developed for this purpose. Through the use of logistic regression, Odds Ratios (OR) were estimated, with 90% confidence intervals (CI). The model thus prepared was adjusted by means of the H* statistics. Likewise, the population's attributable risk (PAR) was calculated, as well as the probability that a child would not reach the MAW for its age, in the presence or abscence of particular risk factors. The results indicate that nearly one fifth of the infants studied do not reach MAW. The work shows that a statistical association exists between the mother's being less than 20 years old (OR=2.53, CI 1.03-6.22) and her belonging to the "working class" (OR=2.28, CI 1.01-5.21), and the infant's not reaching MAW, and the social effects of these factors (PAR=26.4% and 36.7%, respectively). In the presence of all the factors analyzed, the probability of a child's not reaching MAW is of 0.85 and, in particular, in the presence of the given risk factors, the probability is of 0.41. These data suggest guidelines for health services to design appropriate action targeted at specific population groups with a view to improving the nutritional state of the infant population.

Se objetivó determinar la proporción de niños menores de un año con peso inferior al mínimo adecuado para su edad, identificar factores de índole sociodemográfica que pudieran estar asociados a tal problemática, y estudiar la importancia sociosanitaria de los mismos, en áreas periféricas de la zona metropolitana de Guadalajara (ZMG), México. Se estudió una muestra probabilística, y representativa de niños menores de un año, nacidos entre el 1.5.1990 y 30.4.1991, e hijos de madres derechohabientes del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, en Tlaquepaque y Tonalá, municipios conurbados con Guadalajara, segunda ciudad en importancia de México. La evaluación ponderal de los infantes se realizó a partir de las tablas que con tal fin ha elaborado el Centro Latinoamericano de Perinatología. Mediante el empleo de la regresión logística se estimaron Odds Ratios (OD), con intervalos de confianza (IC) del 90%. El modelo hallado fue ajustado mediante el estadístico H*. Se calculó el riesgo atribuíble poblacional (RAP), y la probabilidad de que un niño no alcanzara el peso mínimo adecuado (PMA) para su edad en presencia o ausencia de los factores de riesgo identificados. Los resultados muestran que casi la quinta parte de los lactantes estudiados no alcanzan el PMA. Se evidenció la asociación existente entre la edad de la madre menor de 20 años (OR= 2,53, IC 1,03-6,22) y la pertenencia materna al grupo social "obrero" (OR= 2,28,IC 1,01-5,21) con que el infante no alcance el PMA y la transcendencia social de tales factores (RAP= 26,4% y 36,7%, respectivamente). En presencia de todos los factores analizados, la probabilidad de que un infante no alcance el PMA, es 0,85, y en particular, en presencia solo de los factores de riesgo identificados, esta probabilidad es de 0,41. Esta información brinda pautas a los servicios de salud para diseñar acciones apropriadas dirigidas a grupos de población específicos con vistas a mejorar el estado nutricional de la población infantil. Foi estudada a proporção de crianças com menos de um ano com peso inferior ao mínimo adequado para sua idade, identificados os problemas de natureza sociodemográfica que pudessem estar associados ao problema e a importância sócio-sanitária dos mesmos, em áreas da periferia da zona metropolitana de Guadalajara (ZMG), México. A pesquisa foi feita em uma amostra representativa de crianças nascidas entre 1.5.1990 (primeiro de maio de 1990) e 30.4.91 (trinta de abril de 1991) em filhos de mães associadas ao Instituto Mexicano de Seguro Social nos municípios de Tlaquepaque e Tonalá, cidades satélites de Guadalajara, a segunda do país. A avaliação ponderada das crianças se fez a partir das tabelas feitas com esse propósito pelo Centro Latino-Americano de Perinatologia. Com o emprego da regressão logística, se estipularam "Odds Ratios" (OR), com intervalos de confiança (1C) de 90%. O modelo encontrado foi ajustado mediante a estatística H*. Da mesma forma calculou-se o risco populacional atribuível (RPA), e a probabilidade de que a criança não atingisse o peso mínimo adequado (PMA) para sua idade na presença ou ausência dos fatores de risco identificados. Os resultados mostraram que quase uma quinta parte dos lactantes estudados não alcançam o PMA. Evidenciou-se associação existente entre a idade da mãe de menos de 20 anos (OR= 2,53; IC 1,03-6,22) e o fato de que pertença ao grupo social "operário" (OR= 2,28; IC 1,01-5,21) com o de que a criança não atingia o PMA e a transcendência social de tais fatores (RPA= 26,4% e 36,7% respectivamente). Na presença de todos os fatores analisados, a probabilidade de que uma criança não atinja o PMA é de 0,85 e, em particular, na presença só dos fatores de risco identificados, esta probabilidade é de 0,41. Esta informação fornece dados aos serviços de saúde para projetar ações apropriadas dirigidas a grupos específicos da população com o objetivo de melhorar o estado nutricional da população infantil.
