Objetivo: Caracterizar crianças e adolescentes que vivem em situação de casamento infantil utilizando dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde de 2013. Métodos: Estimou-se a prevalência de casamento infantil (de menores de 18 anos) de acordo com variáveis socioeconômicas, demográficas e de saúde de acordo com três categorias de idade (10-13; 14-15; 16-17 anos). Razões de prevalências (RP) foram estimadas por meio de regressão de Poisson. Resultados: A prevalência geral de casamento infantil foi de 3,9% (n=1.168); 254 (1,8%) apresentavam menos de 14 anos, 285 (3,8%) tinham entre 14 ou 15 anos e 629 (8,1%) de 16 a 17 anos. A maior probabilidade do evento foi observada no sexo feminino nas faixas etárias 14 a 15 e 16 a 17 anos em comparação ao sexo masculino. Assim como nas crianças e adolescentes que não possuíam vínculo escolar (observada em todas as faixas etárias). Já os indivíduos que moraravam junto de quatro pessoas tiveram menor probabilidade de estarem em um casamento infantil nas faixas etárias de 14 a 15 e 16 a 17 anos em relação aos que moravam com uma a duas pessoas. Conclusões: Esse estudo discute as implicações dos achados para a prevenção do casamento infantil focando nas desigualdades de gênero e no acesso à educação e serviços de saúde.
Objective: to characterize children and adolescents who live in a child marriage using datathe National Health Survey of 2013. Methods: The prevalence of child marriage (over 18 years old) was estimated according to socioeconomic, demographic, and health variables by three age categories (10-13; 14-15; 16-17 years). Prevalence ratios (PR) were estimated using Poisson regression. Results: The prevalence of child marriage was 3.9% (n = 1,168); 254 (1.8%) were under 14 years old, 285 (3.8%) were between 14 or 15 years old and 629 (8.1%) between 16 and 17 years old. Higher probability of the outcome was observed among girls at the age groups of 14 to 15 and of 16 to 17 years compared to male. As well as in those who did not attend school (observed in all age groups). Those children living with four people were less likely to be in child marriage at the age group of 14 to 15 and of 16 to 17 years in relation to those who lived with one to two people. Conclusion: This study discusses the implications of the findings for preventing child marriage by focusing on gender inequalities and access to education and health services.
