RESUMO: A educação alimentar é um componente decisivo para a promoção de saúde, e seu efeito pode ser potencializado quando realizada durante a infância, pois é nessa faixa etária que os hábitos alimentares são formados e consolidados. Para que os resultados da educação alimentar sejam satisfatórios, as educadoras envolvidos precisam estar cientes de seu papel como facilitador desse processo. Esse estudo teve por objetivo avaliar o estado nutricional e de saúde das educadoras de uma creche do município de São Paulo. Foi realizado um estudo transversal descritivo com educadoras de uma creche do município de São Paulo. A coleta dos dados foi realizada por estagiárias de nutrição previamente treinadas. Foram coletadas informações sociodemográficas por meio de uma anamnese alimentar, a fim de avaliar os hábitos alimentares, assim como os dados antropométricos estatura (m), peso (kg) e circunferência da cintura-CC (cm). Participaram da pesquisa 31 educadoras, do gênero feminino, com média de idade 33 anos (± 6,18 dp), não fumantes, a maioria (71%) não consumia bebida alcoólica e não praticava nenhum tipo de atividade física (83,4%). Em relação ao estado nutricional, 51,6% apresentava sobrepeso ou algum grau de obesidade e 45,2% tinha risco para doenças metabólicas segundo a CC. Os resultados indicaram que a maioria das educadoras apresentaram sobrepeso/obesidade, o que reforça a necessidade de implementação de ações de educação nutricional.
In this study, we aimed to relate anthropometric parameters and sensory processing in typically developing Brazilian children diagnosed with a pediatric feeding disorder (PFD). This was a retrospective study of typically developing children with a PFD. Anthropometric data were collected and indices of weight-for-age, length/height-for-age, and body mass index-for-age (BMI-for-age) were analyzed as z-scores. Sensory profile data were collected for auditory, visual, tactile, vestibular, and oral sensory processing. We included 79 medical records of children with a PFD. There were no statistically significant (p > 0.05) relationships between the anthropometric variables (weight-, length/height-, or BMI-for-age) and the sensory variables (auditory, visual, tactile, vestibular, or oral sensory processing). In conclusion, we found no relationship between anthropometric parameters and sensory processing in the sample of typically developing Brazilian children diagnosed with a PFD under study.
Purpose: to describe the anthropometric parameters of children diagnosed with pediatric feeding disorder by a multiprofessional team. Methods: a retrospective clinical study conducted on 196 children on maternal complaints of feeding difficulties and a diagnosis of pediatric feeding disorder. Children with neurological diseases or having no pediatric feeding disorder diagnosis were excluded from the study. Weight and height data were obtained and parameters such as weight-for-age, length/height-for-age and body mass index for-age were analyzed, according to the recommendations of the World Health Organization. The twoproportion equality test was used and the level of significance was set at 0.05 (5%) in all analyses. Results: results showed mean (±Standard Deviation) values of 13.09±5.1 for weight (kg), 0.61±15.53 for height (cm) and 15.37±1.56 for body mass index (kg/m²). The results also showed that 87.2% of the children were within the adequate z-score for weight-for-age, 93.4% were within the adequate z-score for length/height-for-age, and that 88.8% had a normal z-score for-age for body mass index. Conclusion: the sample of children diagnosed with pediatric feeding disorder exhibited adequate anthropometric parameters for their age range.
