0182/2019 - Insegurança alimentar e nutricional de famílias com crianças menores de cinco anos da Região Metropolitana de João Pessoa, Paraíba. Food and nutrition insecurity in families with children under five years old in the Metropolitan Region of João Pessoa, Paraíba.
Objetivo: Avaliar a insegurança alimentar e nutricional de famílias com crianças menores de cinco anos residentes em municípios da Região Metropolitana de João Pessoa; sua associação com características biológicas; da situação de saúde das crianças e do contexto socioeconômico familiar. Metodologia: Estudo transversal com famílias atendidas na Estratégia Saúde da Família. A segurança alimentar e nutricional foi avaliada pela Escala Brasileira de Insegurança Alimentar. A associação entre a insegurança alimentar e nutricional moderada/grave e as características de interesse foi avaliada por meio de Regressão Logística Multivariada. Resultados: A prevalência de insegurança alimentar e nutricional foi encontrada em 63,9% das famílias, predominando as formas moderada/grave (44,6%). As famílias cujas crianças tiveram diarreia no último mês, naquelas cujas mães indicaram não saber ler/escrever/fazer contas, entre beneficiárias do Programa Bolsa Família e com renda familiar per capita < 2 salários mínimos apresentaram maiores prevalências de insegurança alimentar e nutricional moderada/grave. Conclusão: A alta vulnerabilidade das famílias observadas, sobretudo as beneficiárias do Programa Bolsa Família, reflete-se em graus mais severos de insegurança alimentar e nutricional, associados a fatores socioeconômicos tradicionais como a renda e a escolaridade.

Abstract:
Objective: To evaluate the food and nutritional insecurity of families with children under five years of age residing in municipalities of the Metropolitan Region of João Pessoa; its association with biological characteristics; health status of child and the family socioeconomic context. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional study with families attended in the Family Health Strategy. Food and nutritional security was evaluated by the Escala Brasileira de Insegurança Alimentar. The association of moderate/severe food and nutritional insecurity with socioeconomic and child characteristics was studied using Multivariate Logistic Regression. Results: The prevalence of food and nutritional insecurity was found in 63.9% of the families, predominating the moderate/severe forms (44.6%). Families whose children had diarrhea in the last month, in those whose mothers indicated that they did not know how to read/write/do accounts, among beneficiaries of the Programa Bolsa Família and with per capita family income < 2 minimum wages presented higher prevalence of moderate/severe food and nutritional insecurity. Conclusion: The high vulnerability of the observed families, especially the beneficiaries of the Programa Bolsa Família, is reflected in more severe degrees of food and nutritional insecurity associated with traditional socioeconomic factors such as income and schooling.
