Summary: | As part of a broad survey on the health status of children living in the City of São Paulo, a random sample of under-fives (n=1,016) was investigated in relation to rates and distribution of respiratory diseases. Based on medical histories and physical examinations carried out at home, the point prevalence of episodes of respiratory disease and the yearly incidence of hospitalizations due to those episodes were calculates. On the day of the examination, 29.0% of the children surveyed had signs and/or symptons of respiratory disease (high episodes, disease not passing the larynx, were three times more frequent than low episodes). The yearly incidence of hospitalizations due to respiratory diseases was 6.5 per 100 children; rates due exclusively to pneumonia and to respiratory disease with an obstructive component were, respectively, 3.5 and 2.8. In comparison with the existent literature, the rates found in the City of São Paulo were very high, equal to or even higher than those registered in very poor countries of the Third World. The age of the children proved to be an important determinant of respiratory disease, the youngest children being the group most affected. Strong influence of the socio-economic level was found in the case of hospitalizations due to pneumonia, but in relation to the other indicators of respiratory disease little or no influence was registered. This fact suggests that at least part of the very high frequency of respiratory disease in the City of São Paulo could be attributed to factors not directly related to the socio-economic conditions of the population. |

Como parte de pesquisa sobre condições de saúde de menores de cinco anos, uma amostra probabilística de crianças residentes no Município de São Paulo (Brasil) (n = 1.016) foi estudada quanto à freqüência e à distribuição de episódios de doença respiratória. Através de anamnese e exame físico aplicados em dias aleatórios nos domicílios das crianças sorteadas, foram apuradas a prevalência de doença respiratória no dia do exame e a incidência de episódios que demandaram internação hospitalar nos últimos doze meses. No dia do exame, 29,0% das crianças mostraram-se acometidas por episódios de doença respiratória, sendo os episódios altos (até laringe, inclusive) três vezes mais comuns do que os episódios baixos. A incidência apurada para as internações por doença respiratória foi de 6,5 internações por 100 crianças-ano, sendo de 3,5 e de 2,8, respectivamente, as taxas correspondentes a pneumonias e a afecções respiratórias com componente obstrutivo. Comparadas à literatura, as freqüências encontradas foram muito elevadas, igualando ou mesmo superando freqüências registradas em países muito pobres do Terceiro Mundo. A faixa de idade da criança revelou ser importante condicionador da presença da doença respiratória, sendo as crianças mais jovens as mais atingidas. Forte influência da condição socioeconômica foi constatada no caso das internações por pneumonias, entretanto com relação aos demais indicadores pouca ou nenhuma influência foi identificada. Este último fato sugere que parte considerável da excessiva morbidade respiratória observada em São Paulo possa ser atribuída a elementos adversos que afetam de forma relativamente homogênea os diversos estratos sociais da população.
