Resumen
Descripción general del contenido del recurso.
Nutritional status and intestinal parasitosis in children 3 to 6 years oldinhabiting urban (U), periurban (PU) and rural (R) areas from Brandsen city wereexamined. The sample included 600 children (302 boys and 298 girls). Undernutritionprevalence was estimated on data from National Center of Health Statistics. Weight/age, height/age, and weight/height below 5th percentile, were considered as indicatorsof low height-for-age, low weight-for-age and low weight-for-height status. BMI >85th#95th percentiles defined overweight and BMI >95th percentiles defined obesity. Faecalsamples and anal brushed were collected. The sedimentation (Ritchie) and flotation(Willis) techniques were used. Data were associated with socio-environmentalcharacteristics of each area. Prevalence of low-height-for-age children and intestinalparasites were significantly higher in PU than in U (p<0.01). Seven parasitic species inU, eight in PU and four in R were found. Enterobius vermicularis, Blastocystis hominisand Giardia lamblia were the most common species found. Periurban area also showedthe higher prevalences of poliparasitism. All the areas harbored children with highbody weight but overweight and obesity were significantly higher in periurban andrural children than the urban ones (p<0.01). The coexistence of undernutrition andoverweight may be linked with changes in feeding practices and life styles of populationsin the context of the nutritional transition. Periurban area has the worst social andenvironmental conditions for growth and health in preschool children.
