Baixo peso ao nascer e condições maternas no pré-natal

This study was carried in the area covered by the Hospital Universitário of the University of São Paulo in order to verify the relationship between birth weight and maternal work and prenatal, nutritional (height, initial and final weight and weight gain during gestation) and socioeconomic-demographic (age, marital status, level of education, family income) conditions. It was based on a sample of 101 children. The occurrence of low birth weight (LBW) (5.1%) did not show association with maternal work nor with prenatal. On the other hand, LBW showed significant association with the following maternal variables: weight gain during the pregnancy under 7 kilograms, mothers age under 20 years old and marital status (single mothers). Despite the low occurrence of LBW, the results point out to the importance of taking measures to reduce LBW, in particular through the control of prenatal weight gain and prenatal among adolescents. Moreover, a policy of educating women, and in particular single women, about pregnancy, childbirth and nutrition seem an obvious necessity.Para verificar como o peso ao nascer se relaciona as condicoes maternas de trabalho, pre-natal, nutricionais (altura, peso inicial, final e ganho na gestacao) e socio-economico-demograficas (idade, situacao conjugal, escolaridade, renda familiar), o presente estudo foi realizado na area de abrangencia do Hospital Universitario da Universidade de Sao Paulo e a amostra foi constituida por 101 criancas. A ocorrencia de baixo peso ao nascer (BPN) foi de 5,1% e nao se associou com o trabalho materno, nem com o pre-natal, porem mostrou associacao significativa com as seguintes variaveis maternas: ganho de peso na gestacao inferior a 7 kg, idade menor que 20 anos e nao ter companheiro. Apesar da baixa ocorrencia de BPN, os resultados evidenciaram a importância do pre-natal para reduzir a ocorrencia de BPN, especialmente por meio do controle do ganho de peso na gestacao, controle da gestacao na adolescencia e tambem priorizando a atencao das mulheres sem companheiro.

Aleitamento materno e níveis de hemoglobina em crianças menores de 2 anos em município do estado de São Paulo, Brasil

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to assess the relationship between breastfeeding and hemoglobin concentration in children under 2 years of age in Itupeva City, SP, Brazil. METHODS: This cross-sectional population-based study was carried out in a representative sample of 254 children under 2 years of age randomly selected in the urban area of Itupeva, SP. The sampling process was done in three stages. The recommendations made by the World Health Organization were used to classify breastfeeding. Hemoglobin concentration was measured by the cyanmethemoglobin method, using the HemoCue system and anemia was defined when hemoglobin concentration was below 11.0g/dL. RESULTS: The prevalence of anemia was 41.7%. Anemia was more frequent among children who were weaned before 6 months (p<0.05). The mean hemoglobin levels of breastfed children were significantly higher among children under 6 months (p<0.05). Children who were exclusively or predominantly breastfed in the first six months of life had higher mean hemoglobin levels than the remaining children (12.3g/dL versus 10.99g/dL; p=0.022). CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that partial or total substitution of breast milk before six months of age was associated with lower mean hemoglobin levels. The high frequency of anemia and the low percentage of children who were exclusively breastfed indicate that programs are needed to control nutritional anemia in this city and to promote exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months.

Reprodução social e anemia infantil

Este estudo avaliou como a anemia infantil se relaciona com as formas de reproducao social das familias. Foi desenvolvido em amostra representativa de 254 criancas. residentes em Itupeva, SP. Hemoglobina ;0,05). O perfil de reproducao social das familias dos anemicos mostrou diferenca significativa (p<0,05). Observou-se que a ocorrencia da anemia atrelou-se as precarias formas de trabalhar dos estratos sociais inferiores e, consequentemente, inadequadas formas de viver.This study assessed the relationship between anemia in infancy and the social reproduction profile of the families. It was conducted with a representative sample of 254 children of the city of Itupeva, SP. Hemoglobin < 11 g/dL, determined by portable hemoglobin analyzer, was used to define anemia. Profiles of social reproduction had been built by 2 groups of indicators: working and living conditions. Three social homogeneous groups had been defined: upper, intermediate, lower. Anemia was prevalent in 41.7%, and more frequent in lower social groups (13.2%; 40.6%; 46.2%), but with no significant difference (p>0.05). However, profile of social reproduction of anemic families showed significant difference (p<0.05). Occurrence of anemia was related to poor working conditions in lower social groups and consequently inappropriate living conditions.

Low birth weight and maternal conditions in pre-natal

Reprodução social de famílias de crianças menores de 7 anos

Through a casual-stratified-proportional sample, this study characterized the social reproduction profiles of 80 families with children under age 7 living within the area of assistance of the University of São Paulos Hospital Universitário. The profiles were constructed using a theoretical-methodological-operational basis that predefined 3 homogeneous social groups. Of the total sample, 36.1 percent of the families showed the most precarious ways of reproduction in both production and consumption; 48.2 percent seemed to struggle for integration in social life; and 15.7 percent fulfilled the qualifications for their adequate integration in social production, seemed to be protected from irregular work, showing a differentiated pattem of consumption and of collective representation and betterpossibilities to use the geo-social space. The results demonstrated that the methodology employed is adequate for the characterization of the social reproduction profiles, highlighting the fact that the social groups that comprise a society have different working and living conditions, and that each of them is exposed to specific patterns of strength and proneness to diseases.Por meio de amostragem casual-estratificada-proporcional, este estudo caracterizou as formas de reproducao social de 80 familias com criancas menores de 7 anos, residentes na area de abrangencia do HU-USP.
