“…It has a disproportionately high association with deliberate self-harm [41], high-risk sexual behaviour, HIV infection [42], tuberculosis [43], oesophageal cancer [44], liver disease and duodenal ulcer [45,46]. Alcohol misuse wreaks a high social cost [47,48]. A study from the state of Karnataka in South India estimated that monetizable direct and indirect costs attributable to people with alcohol dependence alone was more than three times the profits from alcohol taxation and several times more than the annual health budget of that state [49].…”

Background:Children of people with alcohol dependence (COAs) are at high risk for behavioral and cognitive problems.Aim:Aim of this study was to compare the nature and extent of these problems in children of men with and without alcohol dependence.Materials and Methods:32 children (17 in study group and 15 controls) were evaluated for psychopathology, neurodevelopment, cognitive functioning and family environment. Tools used were: Socio-demographic data sheet, Malin’s Intelligence Scale for Indian Children (MISIC), Child Behavior Checklist, Trail Making Test, Neurodevelopment Scale and the Family Environment Scale.Results:Children of men with alcohol dependence had higher externalizing than internalizing scores. Children of alcohol-dependent fathers had higher scores on the neurodevelopment scale and lower scores on the performance scale of the MISIC than the children in control group. These children also made more errors on the Trail Making Test. The family environment of COAs was characterized by lack of independence for its members, greater perceived control and lack of adequate cultural and intellectual activities.Conclusion:Our findings suggest that children of men with alcohol dependence have difficulties with frontal lobe functions and neurodevelopmental tasks. There are also difficulties in the family, which are related to alcohol consumption by the father.

“…Asimismo, víctimas durante el período gestacional presentan mayor oportunidad de hijos con bajo peso al nacer, parto pretérmino, muerte en el periodo neonatal y un patrón de lactancia menos adecuado (23) . Todos estos factores, que pueden ser productos de la violencia, se han visto relacionados con malnutrición en niños (14,(24)(25)(26)(27) . Por otro lado, el estrés al que están sometidos los niños que viven en estos hogares puede llevar a estados de alta actividad inflamatoria y prooxidante, como fue observado en 2010 por Houphouet (28) , donde la malnutrición estuvo asociada con estado inflamatorio, indicado por aumento de proteína C reactiva, la cual, además, se acompañaba de depleción proteica, especialmente de albúmina, lo que podría ser un factor contribuyente a la desnutrición (29,30) .…”

RESUMENObjetivos. Evaluar la asociación entre violencia contra la mujer ejercida por su pareja y la prevalencia de desnutrición crónica en sus hijos menores de cinco años. Materiales y métodos. Análisis secundario transversal de la Encuesta Demográfica y de Salud Familiar (ENDES) del año 2011, realizada en el Perú y con representatividad nacional. La variable dependiente fue desnutrición crónica en el último hijo menor de cinco años. Las variables independientes fueron el autorreporte de violencia emocional, violencia física (leve o severa) y violencia sexual, ejercidas por el último compañero o esposo de la madre en los últimos 12 meses. Realizamos análisis univariados y multivariables utilizando modelos generalizados lineales (regresión log-binomial), teniendo en cuenta la naturaleza compleja de la muestra. Se ajustaron los modelos para variables sociodemográficas y de salud madre hijo. Se calcularon razones de prevalencias (RP) e intervalos de confianza al 95%. Resultados. Se analizaron datos de 5154 madres e hijos. La prevalencia de desnutrición crónica fue de 19,8% (IC 95%: 18,1-21,6). En el análisis multivariable se encontró una mayor prevalencia de desnutrición crónica en los hijos de madres con historia de violencia física severa RP 1,27% (IC 95%: 1,09-1,48). No hubo evidencia de asociación entre la prevalencia de desnutrición crónica y los otros tipos de violencia ejercida por la pareja. Conclusiones. El reporte de violencia física severa en el último año, por parte de las madres, estuvo asociado a un aumento en la prevalencia de desnutrición crónica en sus niños menores de cinco años.

ASSOCIATION BETWEEN VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN INFLICTED BY THE PARTNER AND CHRONIC MALNUTRITION IN THEIR CHILDREN UNDER FIVE YEARS OLD IN PERU ABSTRACTObjectives. To assess the association between violence against women inflicted by their partner and the prevalence of chronic malnutrition in their children less than five years old. Materials and methods. A secondary cross-sectional analysis of the 2001 Peru Demographic and Health Survey performed in Peru, with national representativeness. The dependent variable was chronic malnutrition in the youngest child under five years old. The independent variables were emotional violence, physical violence (mild or severe) and sexual violence self-report; the violence was inflicted by the mother's last partner or spouse in the last 12 months. Univariate and multivariate analysis was performed, generalized linear models (log-binomial regression) were used, and the nature of the sample was taken into account. Models for socio-demographic and mother-son health variables were adjusted. Prevalence ratios (PR) and confidence intervals were calculated. Results. Data from 5,154 mothers and children were analyzed. The prevalence of chronic malnutrition was 19.8% (CI 95%: 18.1-21.6). In the multivariate analysis, a higher prevalence of chronic malnutrition was found in the c...
