Resumen
Descripción general del contenido del recurso.
The compilation of anthropometric data within a health and food program leads to definitions of the nutritional and health conditions of individuals. Such raw data allow planning, executing and assessing the incidence of the program on the population. The purpose of this study was to evaluate growth and nutritional conditions of a child (1-5-year-olds) population living in peripheral neighborhoods of San Salvador de Jujuy (Argentina) participating in the Mother-Child Program (Programa Materno Infantil, PROMIN). Data resulted from weights (kg) and heights (cm) from 4616 children grouped by sex and decimal age. Standards used were weight, height, z-scores (Pz), and body mass index (BMI). Results indicated that: 1) most of the population fell into <2z and >2z scores (98.9 percent for height/age (H/A) and 96.6 percent for weight/age (W/A) - national standard); 2) BMI average values in both sexes were above the reference values. These differences were statistically significant (p<0.01). We concluded that growth and nutritional condition of this population did not differ to the national and international reference standards. As this group does not reflect the general condition of child populations in the province of Jujuy, it would show the effects of nourishing, medical, and health assistance provided by the PROMIN program and socioeconomic, demographic, and cultural characteristics of this specific child population.
