Desnutrição e aproveitamento escolar: estudo entre escolares da primeira série do primeiro grau da zona urbana periférica de Londrina, PR, Brasil

Avaliação comportamental, eletroacústica e eletrofisiológica da audição em crianças desnutridas

“…Musiek e Geurkink (1982) O processamento auditivo pode causar ou estar associado a dificuldades de leitura, escrita, linguagem e aprendizagem. Muitos estudos encontrados na literatura sobre desnutrição relatam alterações de aprendizagem e memória (Frota et al, 2009), linguagem (Santos et al, 2010) e fracasso escolar (Turini et al, 1978) infecções, dentre elas a otite, que pode ocasionar um prejuízo na acuidade auditiva e, consequentemente, no processamento da informação acústica (Barros et al, 1995e Lasisi et al, 2007e Elemraid et al, 2011.…”

“…Turini et al (1978) Frank et al (1998) observaram diferença significante na latência e na amplitude do P300 em crianças com dificuldade de aprendizagem quando comparado ao grupo de crianças normais.…”

Revista de Saúde Pública: 50 years disseminating the knowledge in nutrition

“…Although it was not included in the articles analyzed in this study, one of the first publications in RSP already indicated the importance of malnutrition based on mortality analysis 41 . Works involving the subject malnutrition address various aspects, as anthropometric methods used to diagnose and classify the severity of protein-energy malnutrition 19 , 47 , 49 , 50 and the association between protein-energy malnutrition and cognitive development and school performance 72 . In addition, the articles on protein-energy malnutrition clearly indicate the importance of social determinants in the onset of the disease 11 , 16 , 38 , 54 and the country’s nutritional transition, which led to protein-energy malnutrition and nanism 45 reduction and to overweight and obesity increase 28 , 31 , 34 , 43 .…”

Long latency auditory evokedpotentials in malnourished children

“…The analyzed literature mentions that malnourished children or those with food deprivation may present with changes in language development (24) and cognition (25) , as well as difficulties in learning, assimilation and memory, considering that hunger makes concentration more difficult, thus compromising learning (26,27) and school performance (28) ; besides, they can also present changes in central auditory processing. Indeed, Turini et al (28) assessed 157 malnourished children aged from 7 to 8 years old and observed that 43.31% of these children (68 cases) presented unsatisfactory school performance.…”

“…It is known that the hearing process can cause or be associated with difficulties in reading, writing, language and learning. Many studies found in literature on malnutrition report learning, memory (26) and language changes (24) , as well as school failure (28) among malnourished children; however, specific studies about malnutrition and changes in hearing processing were not found in literature.…”
