“…In 2004, faced with deteriorating health indicators, Argentina's government implemented the "Plan Nacer", and in 2013 the "Plan Sumar" to strengthen a fragmented national health system plagued by strong jurisdictional asymmetries (Nuñez et al, 2016). Both programs were implemented synergistically with the main Conditional Cash Transfer Programs "Asignaci on Universal por Hijo" (Universal Child Allowance) and "Asignaci on Universal por Embarazo" (Universal Pregnancy Allowance), which contributed to decreasing stunting and underweight at the national level (Lejarraga, 2017;Nuñez et al, 2016). Unfortunately, we lack longitudinal data to verify the contribution of these and other policies implemented at the local level between 2005 and 2019.…”

The aim of this study was to determine changes in the prevalence of undernutrition, overweight and obesity in Argentine children and adolescents over the last two decades, and analyze their relationship with family socioeconomic conditions. Methods: We compared data in two cross-sectional studies (C) of schoolchildren (n: 4971) aged 4 to 13 years from three provinces: Buenos Aires, Mendoza and Misiones. C1 was carried out between 2005 and 2009 and C2 between 2010 and 2019. Anthropometric (body weight, height, triceps and subscapular skinfolds) and socioeconomic data of both studies were obtained in the same schools by the same investigators, using a similar methodology. The prevalence of nutritional status and the frequency of family socioeconomic conditions were calculated by province and C. Data were analyzed by chi square test, categorical principal component analysis and generalized linear model. Results: The prevalence of undernutrition decreased in C2 in Buenos Aires and Misiones and remained constant in Mendoza. At the same time, the prevalence of overweight and obesity increased in the three provinces, around 13% in Buenos Aires and 9% in Mendoza and Misiones. Similarly, fat mass increased in C2. Undernutrition was associated with inadequate family socioeconomic conditions only in C1.Conclusions: This 14-year follow-up study shows a decreasing trend in the prevalence of undernutrition and an increasing trend in the prevalence of overweight, obesity, and fat mass in the child and adolescent population of Argentina. Also, a marked deterioration in family socioeconomic conditions was found, but its relationship with the changes in nutritional status remains to be elucidated.

ObjectivesTo assess the current prevalences of nutritional status and intestinal parasites, and their potential association with socio‐environmental conditions among schoolchildren in Aristóbulo del Valle, Misiones.MethodsWe measured body weight and height in 444 schoolchildren aged 3–14 years and evaluated their nutritional status following WHO criteria. We examined fecal samples and anal swabs from 234 schoolchildren and collected socio‐environmental data through questionnaires.ResultsThe prevalence of undernutrition was 4.5% and excess of weight was 24.1%. The prevalence of stunting and of being overweight reached 2.3% and 12.4%, respectively. About 42% of the schoolchildren were infected with at least one of the 12 species identified. The most prevalent species were Blastocystis sp., Enterobius vermicularis, and Giardia lamblia. Entamoeba dispar was recorded for the first time in the locality. The multiple correspondence analysis identified peri‐urban, urban, and rural groups. Underweight, stunting and obesity were highest in the peri‐urban group, while overweight, wasting and parasitism rates were highest in the rural group. The urban group showed the lowest parasitic prevalences. Bed‐sharing, mother's education, and animal husbandry were associated with parasitic infections.ConclusionsThe study highlights a decrease in undernutrition but a rise in overweight and obesity, indicating an ongoing nutritional transition. The association between socio‐environmental risk factors and parasitic infections underscore the need for comprehensive interventions addressing both nutritional and socio‐environmental conditions to improve the population's life quality.

Introdução: quase metade da população mundial sofre incapacidade por problemas bucais. Na Argentina e no Brasil, a cárie dentária ainda é uma dificuldade a ser enfrentada, bem como a falta de acesso aos serviços de saúde bucal. Porém, há poucos estudos na literatura que comparem os perfis epidemiológicos e as políticas em saúde bucal desses países entre 2000 e 2020 à luz das metas internacionais. Objetivos: comparar os cenários socioeconômicos, os perfis epidemiológicos e as políticas em saúde bucal da Argentina e do Brasil, de 2000 a 2020. Materiais e método: neste estudo de caso, realizamos uma análise documental para comparar as políticas em saúde bucal de cada país com as Metas em Saúde Bucal 2020 propostas pela Organização Mundial da Saúde e outras organizações internacionais. Além do perfil epidemiológico em descrição tabular, comparamos os indicadores socioeconômicos para compreender o fenômeno da saúde bucal. Resultados: os achados revelam que as políticas em saúde bucal são mais robustas e articuladas no Brasil do que na Argentina. Os países apresentam perfis epidemiológicos diferentes. Enquanto os indicadores de saúde geral e educação são melhores na Argentina, os indicadores em saúde bucal e econômicos favorecem a população brasileira. Conclusões: o acesso público à saúde bucal teve uma importante diminuição desde 2016 em ambos os países, em coincidência com a implementação de políticas neoliberais que trouxeram o aumento da informalidade do emprego e da pobreza nesses países, o que pode aumentar a desigualdade na saúde bucal. Assim, os novos cenários políticos e econômicos colocam em risco a continuidade das políticas em saúde bucal.
