Resumo:
Consideramos como contacto inicial o caso de uma população da região Amazónica de Perú chamada Nahua de Sana Rosa de Serjali, que esta constituído por grupos de pessoas que durante muito tempo decidiram viver isolados. Recentemente iniciaram um estilo de vida mais sedentária e em contacto com a cultura ocidental. Em Perú temos plenamente identificados dois grupos de contacto inicial: los Nahuas y los Nantis. As estadísticas em saúde dos Nahuas são muito escassas. Este estudo oferece uma interpretação dos indicadores demográficos e epidemiológicos do povo Nahua, tratando de identificar se existe um certo grado de vulnerabilidade da saúde. Se realizou um estudo transversal e depois de analisar os indicadores de saúde assim como um análises qualitativo complementário dos Nahua, chegamos a conclusão que no ano 2006 ainda presentavam um estado de vulnerabilidade em saúde.

Abstract:
We present the case of the Nahua population of Santa Rosa de Serjali, Peruvian Amazon’s population, considered of initial contact. This population consists of human groups that for a long time decided to live in isolation, but lately have begun living a more sedentary lifestyle and in contact with Western populations. There are two fully identified initial contact groups in Peru: the Nahua and the Nanti. The health statistics of the Nahua are scarce. This study offers an interpretation of demographic and epidemiological indicators of the Nahua people, trying to identify if a certain degree of health vulnerability exists. We performed a cross sectional study, and after analyzing their health indicators, as well as the supplemental qualitative analysis of the population, brought us to conclude that in 2006, the Nahua, remained in a state of health vulnerability.
