Abstract:

The aim of the present study is to assess the anthropometric nutrition status and physical growth of Terena children living in the urban zone of Campo Grande City, Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil, in their first year of life. Children who were born between June 2017 and July 2018 (n=42) participated in the study. Data collection was carried out during home visits, when participants were in the 1st, 6th and 12th month of life. In total, 4.8% of children presented stunting at the 12th month of life. According to body mass index for age, overweight affected 15.0% of individuals belonging to the female sex at the age of 12 months, and obesity was observed in 4.8% of individuals belonging to both sexes, at this same age. Terena children’s lenght curve did not reach the median value recorded for the reference population. Weight and body mass index curves for age, mainly among individuals belonging to the female sex, were often above the reference median value. The Terena growth curves record an average linear growth lower than expected and a weight gain higher than the reference median. This profile is compatible with the persistence of unfavorable conditions for children\'s growth and nutrition and with an accelerated process of food and nutritional transition, the racial dimension of health inequities cannot be disregarded.
