0031/2021 - Fatores associados ao estado nutricional de crianças menores de 5 anos da Paraíba, Brasil Factors associated with nutritional status of children under 5 years oldParaíba, Brazil
Objetivou-se analisar se o estado nutricional de crianças menores de 5 anos de idade está relacionado às condições biológicas de suas mães, ao acesso a serviços de saúde, ao benefício de programas sociais e às condições socioeconômicas. Trata-se de um estudo transversal realizado no contexto da Estratégia Saúde da Família, em sete municípios do interior do Estado da Paraíba. A metodologia incluiu o diagnóstico do déficit de estatura e do excesso de peso (sobrepeso e obesidade) das crianças, cujos determinantes foram analisados por meio de Árvore de Decisão. Como resultado foram avaliadas 469 crianças, das quais 7,9% apresentaram déficit de estatura e 12,8% excesso de peso. Encontrou-se associação desses desfechos com o estado nutricional materno. A baixa estatura também teve como exposições relevantes a idade da criança inferior a 2 anos (p=0,018) e a insegurança alimentar e nutricional moderada/grave (p=0,008). Para o excesso de peso, não ser beneficiário do Programa Bolsa Família (p=0,049) e a pior situação socioeconômica (p=0,006) também representaram fatores associados ao desfecho. Como conclusão do presente estudo podemos afirmar que exista uma associação entre o estado nutricional materno e o da criança.

Abstract:
The aim of this article was to analyze if the nutritional status of children under 5 years of age is related to the biological conditions of their mothers, access to health services, the benefit of social programs and socioeconomic conditions. This is a cross-sectional study carried out in the context of the Family Health Strategy in seven municipalities in the interior of Paraíba State. The methodology included the diagnosis of stunting and weight excess (overweight and obesity) in children, which determinants were analyzed through Decision Tree. As a result, 469 children were evaluated, of which 7.9% were stunting and 12.8% were with weight excess. An association of these outcomes was found with maternal nutritional status. Stunting also had as relevant exposures the age of the child less than 2 years (p=0.018) and the moderate/severe food and nutritional insecurity (p=0.008). For weight excess, not being a beneficiary of the Programa Bolsa Família (p=0.049) and the worst socioeconomic situation (p=0.006) were also factors associated with the outcome. As a conclusion of the present study we can affirm that there is an association between the maternal and child nutritional status.
