“…8 In 1991, a 70% prevalence of anemia was observed among Suruí children under 5 years of age. 5 Based on the scarce data that are available, it is possible to state that anemia is a significant health problem among indigenous children in Brazil, in common with what has been observed of our country s child population who live in urban or rural areas, especially from 6 to 24 months of age. 22 There is also little information on the prevalence of anemia in schoolchildren and for this age group care must be taken with which cutoff point has been adopted.…”

“…In an earlier study, 3 it was found that the children of Terenas Indians, from the villages of Limão Verde and Córrego Seco, located in the district of Aquidauana, exhibited a pattern of weight and stature comparable with other groups indigenous to Brazil, characterized by a deficit in height for age and appropriate weight for height. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10] A study undertaken of the children of Alto Xingu Indians found that from 1980 to 1992, a statistically significant reduction in median height for age z-score had occurred, 10 emphasizing the importance of periodic assessments of the nutritional status of indigenous groups since cultural changes over the long term could be associated with alterations to the anthropometric pattern of the child population. 4 Iron deficiency anemia presents an elevated prevalence in developing countries, afflicting most often infants, preschool aged children, adolescents and women of a fertile age.…”

“…Ainda, na região do Alto Xingu, em inquérito de 1992, Mattos (1996) encontrou déficit de altura para idade em 20% das crianças. Em índios Suruí, do estado de Rondônia, cujo contato se reporta a 1969, Coimbra Jr. & Santos (1991) encontraram, em crianças menores de nove anos de idade, 46,3% com baixa estatura para a idade e 6,6% de desnutrição pela relação peso/altura. Os inquéritos citados corroboram os resultados observados por outros autores em grupos indígenas do Brasil no que se refere à presença freqüente de déficit de altura para a idade (Santos, 1993).…”

“…Em 1987, entre crianças Suruí (RO) menores de cinco anos, a prevalência de retardo de crescimento infantil era de 50,6% (Coimbra Jr. & Santos, 1991). Estudo realizado em crianças Parakanã (PA) observou 53,5% em 1989, 48,1% em 1990 e 50,6% em 1991 (Martins & Menezes, 1994).…”
