Resumo: The main objective of the present study was to estímate plasma zinc concentration in children belonging to low-income families residing in three different neighborhoods on the outskirts of Ribeirão Preto, SP, Brazil, and to determine a possible correlation of this parameter with several anthropometric measurements. Plasma zinc levels were lower than 70 µg% in 13% of the children studied. Weight for age, height for age and weight/height ratio were below 90% of the 50th percentile of National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) in 42.9%, 6.3% and 9.5% of children, respectively. Tricipital fold, arm circumference and muscle circumference were also below 90% of the 50th percentile in 65.8%, 11.0% and 7.3% of the children, respectively. No correlation was observed between plasma zinc levels and the anthropometric parameters studied.

Foi determinada a concentração plasmática de zinco em crianças pertencentes a famílias de baixa renda que residiam em três bairros da periferia de Ribeirão Preto, SP (Brasil), e verificada uma possível correlação desses níveis com algumas medidas antropométricas. Foram estudadas 126 crianças de 2 a 7 anos. Os níveis plasmáticos de zinco foram inferiores a 70 µg% em 13% das crianças estudadas. As medidas antropométricas mostraram que 42,9% das crianças estudadas apresentavam peso, 6,3% apresentavam altura e 9,5% apresentavam peso/altura inferiores a 90% do percentil 50 do National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). A prega tricipital e a circunferência braqueal e muscular foram inferiores a 90% do percentil 50 do NCHS em respectivamente 65,8%, 11% e 7,5% das crianças estudadas. Não se observou correlação significante entre os níveis plasmáticos de zinco e os parâmetros antropométricos estudados. Universidade de São Paulo.
