Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the temporal trend of nutritional status assessment coverage of Quilombola children in the Food and Nutritional Surveillance System (SISVAN).METHOD: Ecological time series study on the coverage of SISVAN nutritional status data among Quilombola children under five years of age in Brazilian municipalities between 2008 and 2019. Prais-Winsten regression was performed to analyze the trend and the average annual percentage change (APC) of the coverages, according to demographic, socioeconomic, and health assistance variables.
RESULTS: National coverage ranged0.1% in 2008 to 2.8% in 2013, decreasing to 0.3% in 2019. The national coverage APC was 11%2008 to 2019, corresponding to a stationary trend (p =0.68). All states showed an increase in the coverage2008 to 2013, followed by a reduction until 2019. The states of Mato Grosso do Sul and Sergipe showed an increasing trend, while the Acre showed a decreasing trend. The other states showed a stationary trend. No temporal variation was observed in coverage according to the variables of interest.
CONCLUSION: Low SISVAN coverage was found among Quilombola children, with a steady temporal trend in most Brazilian states.
