Objetivo: Identificar o perfil epidemiológico e analisar a ocorrência da doença de chagas na região norte do Brasil entre os anos de 2019 e 2020. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo retrospectivo, transversal, quantitativo e analítico, com a utilização de dados disponibilizados pelo DATASUS/MS, e analisados pelo software Microsoft Office Excel 2016 e Biostat 5.3. Resultados: Na região norte foram encontrados 502 casos notificados de Doença de Chagas Aguda (DCA) no período analisado, com prevalência na faixa etária de 20 a 59 anos de idade (n=317), sexo masculino (57,57%), raça/cor parda (84,46%) e maior ocorrência na zona rural (n=1740) do que na zona urbana (n=145). O modo de infecção predominante foi à contaminação oral (87,85%) e o local de infecção sendo em domicilio (n=347). O estado do Pará teve maior incidência de casos entre os anos de 2019 e 2020 (n=397), principalmente na região de saúde Tocantins (31,67%), e destacou-se que quanto maior o número de casos da doença, menor o IDH do estado. Conclusão: Conclui-se que a Região Norte concentra quase todos os casos de DCA no país, principalmente o estado do Pará, e este dado tem correlação direta com as condições de vida da população e características regionais.
Objective: To relate the food consumption of the previous day and family income of children under 6 months to 2 years of age living in the metropolitan region of Belém, Pará. Methodology: Descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study with application of an online questionnaire via google forms, carried out in the metropolitan region of Belém-Pará, which covers 3 municipalities (Belém, Ananindeua and Marituba). The questions formulated in the food survey were based on food consumption markers from the SISVAN platform. Results: 221 responses from caregivers were obtained. Most declared to receive up to a monthly minimum wage. breast milk was consumed by all children younger than 6 months. In children aged over six months to two years, it was observed that breastfeeding did not occur continuously in children from groups with higher family income, and the ingestion of ultra-processed foods by children with lower incomes was observed. Conclusion: The data demonstrate dietary inadequacy, habits that are configured for the development of chronic non-communicable diseases throughout life. In addition, there is a low consumption of fresh and minimally processed foods, as well as an inadequate introduction of ultra-processed foods, especially in children belonging to families with lower incomes.
