“…Todavia, diversos pesquisadores, ao avaliarem o crescimento de crianças em AME até seis meses, evidenciaram peso superior ao da curva do percentil 50 da NCHS/1978 2,6 . Outros pesquisadores, com base na mesma referência, mostraram crescimento desacelerado de crianças em AME a partir do terceiro e quarto mês, principalmente com relação ao peso 7,8 .…”

“…A leitura foi realizada em quilogramas, e a balança tarada antes de cada pesagem e checada regularmente para ajuste zero. O comprimento foi aferido com a criança em decúbito dorsal sobre um antropô-metro horizontal de madeira (padrão) construído localmente, com subdivisões em milímetros e apoiado em superfície plana, firme e lisa 6,12 .…”

“…Dentre as alegações, incluem-se menor peso das meninas ao nascer e menor quantidade de leite ingerido por elas durante as sucções 6,13 . Apesar de se ter notado, neste estudo, um desempenho melhor nos meninos, fica descartada a influência do peso ao nascer, tendo em vista que ambos os sexos nasceram com pesos iguais e adequados.…”

Este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar o crescimento de crianças em regime de aleitamento materno exclusivo até o sexto mês, bem como comparar seu peso e comprimento com a referência do National Center for Health Statistics 1978 e com o padrão da World Health Organization 2006. MétodosTrata-se de estudo longitudinal realizado em um Banco de Leite Humano, na cidade de São Luís, Maranhão, entre outubro de 2007 e novembro de 2008. Foi feita amostragem não probabilística com 328 crianças nascidas a termo e submetidas a aleitamento materno exclusivo. Finalizaram o estudo 181 crianças. Avaliou-se o crescimento por meio de médias e desvio-padrão, comparando-se os resultados com aqueles dois parâmetros. ResultadosOs meninos mostraram-se mais pesados que as meninas, do primeiro ao sexto mês (p<0,05). A maior velocidade no ganho ponderal ocorreu nos dois primeiros meses de vida, em ambos os sexos. Quanto ao peso, as meninas apresentaram peso médio superior ao padrão da World Health Organization 2006, ao nascer e do terceiro ao sexto mês (p<0,05), enquanto os meninos mostraram peso superior do quarto ao sexto mês (p<0.05). Já em relação à referência do National Center for Health Statistics 1978, ambos os sexos apresentaram peso superior desde o nascimento até o sexto mês (p<0,05), exceto os meninos ao nascer. Quanto ao tamanho, as meninas apresentaram comprimento médio semelhante ao padrão da World Health Organization 2006, porém menor do que a outra referência, ao nascer e no sexto mês (p<0,05). Já os meninos obtiveram comprimento médio

“…Few studies have examined longitudinal growth of West African infants in early life; most were cross-sectional. 19,20 Here, in the first year, maternal malaria continued to exaggerate reduced size and exposed boys fared worse than girls ( Table 3). The impact of malaria on growth here, as elsewhere, 21,22 seems related to chronic placental infection and its insufficiency leading to proportionate fetal growth restriction.…”

The Impact of Malaria in Pregnancy on Changes in Blood Pressure in Children During Their First Year of Life

et al. 2014

Abstract-We established a maternal birth cohort in Ibadan, Nigeria, where malaria is hyperendemic, to assess how intrauterine exposure to malaria affected infant blood pressure (BP) development. In a local maternity hospital, healthy pregnant women had regular blood films for malaria parasites from booking to delivery. Growth and BP were measured on 318 babies, all followed from birth to 3 and 12 months. Main outcomes were standardized measures of anthropometry and change in BP to 1 year. Babies exposed to maternal malaria were globally smaller at birth, and boys remained smaller at 3 months and 1 year. Change in systolic BP (SBP) during the year was greater in boys than in girls (20.9 versus 15.7 mm Hg; P=0.002) but greater in girls exposed to maternal malaria (18.7 versus 12.7 mm Hg; 95% confidence interval, 1-11 mm Hg; P=0.02). Eleven percent of boys (greater than twice than expected) had a SBP ≥95th percentile (hypertensive, US criteria), of whom 68% had maternal malaria exposure. On regression analysis (β coefficients, mm Hg), sex (boys>girls; β=4.4; 95% confidence interval, 1.1-7.7; P=0.01), maternal malaria exposure (3.64; 0.3-6.9; P=0.03), and weight change (2.4; 0.98-3.8/1 standard deviation score; P=0.001) all independently increased SBP change to 1 year, whereas increase in length decreased SBP (−1.98; −3.6 to −0.40). In conclusion, malaria-exposed boys had excess hypertension, whereas malariaexposed girls a greater increase in SBP. Intrauterine exposure to malaria had sex-dependent effects on BP, independent of infant growth. Because infant-child-adult BP tracking is powerful, a malarial effect may contribute to the African burden of hypertension. (Hypertension. 2014;63:167-172.)

In Nigeria, breast-feeding has been shown to be very closely related to infant survival. Prolonged and adequate breast-feeding is critical to most infants' nutritional health and growth. This study aims to determine the influence of family support on the duration of exclusive and total breast-feeding of infants of antenatal patients. This cross-sectional study was conducted between 1 September and 30 December 2005. The tool was a structured questionnaire. The main outcome variables were the duration of breast-feeding; both total and exclusive explanatory variables were mainly related to support obtained during breast-feeding from husband and older female relations. Husbands support significantly increased the total duration of breast-feeding by a mean of 1.69 months (95% CI 0.88, 2.51), however, exclusive breast-feeding was not significantly affected by the husband's support (OR 0.94; 95% CI 0.63, 1.39). Female support had a significant influence on both the total duration of breast-feeding which is increased by a mean of 1.08 months (95% CI 0.14, 2.02), and the adequate conduct of exclusive breast-feeding (OR 1.83; 95% CI 1.17, 2.86). The cultural practice of having additional female support in the postpartum period has been shown by this study to be beneficial. Therefore, this cultural practice should be encouraged and catalogued as a beneficial cultural practice. This practice is also cheap and sustainable.
