Abstract:

The objective of this study was to analyses the distribution of anthropometric variables according demographic, socioeconomic, and health characteristics in children, aged zero to five years, of Haitian descent living in Cuiabá-MT. It consists of a cross-sectional and census-based study, with data collected between August/2016 and February/2017. The dependent variables were body mass index (BMI) and height for age in z-score, using Student\'s t-Test and ANOVA to statistics analysis. We evaluated 67 children, 73.2% with up to 24 months of age and 34.3% of males. There was a significant proportion of families with per capita incomes less than 1/4 of the minimum wage (65.6%), with no home monitoring for the family health strategy (88.1%), and high working hours for mothers (43.3%). The onset of prenatal care until the third month of gestation and female sex were associated with higher BMI averages. For height for age, an association with lower mean values was found for households with more than one resident per room, higher age range of the child, and child-care in daycare centers. Thus, although few factors have a association with the anthropometric indications evaluated, it is necessary to consider the precarious socioeconomic conditions in which these children are ed.
