Os índices antropométricos peso/estatura e peso/idade destacam-se, respectivamente, por sua importância na identificação de mudanças recentes de peso e de alterações no estado nutricional de forma precoce. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar fatores associados ao peso/estatura e peso/idade em crianças pré-escolares. Trata-se de um estudo transversal com amostra probabilística que analisou 299 crianças assistidas em creches públicas municipais. As informações foram obtidas por meio de entrevista com as mães, mediante aplicação de um questionário com informações socioeconômicas, maternas e infantis. O peso e a estatura/comprimento das crianças foram medidos seguindo as recomendações da Organização Mundial de Saúde. Os resultados evidenciaram que nenhuma das variáveis maternas associou-se ao estado nutricional das crianças e que apenas o peso ao nascer, dentre as variáveis infantis, apresentou associação aos escores de peso/estatura (p=0,0030) e peso/idade (p=0,0018). O bloco de variáveis socioeconômicas, por sua vez, mostrou-se como o mais representativo fator de variação dos resultados encontrados, sobretudo no peso/idade. Conclui-se sobre a relevância do peso ao nascer no peso/estatura e peso/idade das crianças, bem como das condições socioeconômicas, marcadamente, no peso/idade.

Abstract:
Weight/height and weight/age anthropometric indexes stand out, respectively, given their importance in identifying early changes in weight and alterations in nutritional status as early as possible. The aim of this study was to analyze factors associated with weight/height and weight/age in preschool children. This is a cross-sectional study with a probabilistic sample that analyzed 299 children enrolled in municipal daycare centers. Information was obtained through interviews with mothers, applying a questionnaire with socioeconomic, maternal and child information. Weight and height/length of children were measured according to recommendations of the World Health Organization. The results showed that none of the maternal variables was associated to the nutritional status of children and that only birth weight among child variables presented association with weight/height (p = 0.0030) and weight/age scores (p = 0.0018). The block of socioeconomic variables, in turn, seemed to be the most representative variation factor of results, especially in the weight/age index. It was concluded the importance of birth weight in the weight/height and weight/age of children, as well as the socioeconomic conditions markedly in weight/age index.
