“…Thus, the results of the present study, revealing a stature for age deficit in 15 and 11.1% of the children 6 and 12% in Panará Indians). 8 In contrast, other indigenous groups have exhibited much greater proportions of stature for age for the same age group, for example, the Tupi-Mondê (55.4%) in Rondonia and Mato Grosso states 4 and the Surui from Rondonia 17 and the Ikpeng (37.7%) from the Alto Xingu. 18 Taking just the age group from 0 to 60 months, the values found in the present study (22.1% in 1995 and 12.2% in 2002) are comparable to those observed, in 1990, in another Terena village in do Mato Grosso do Sul state (16%) 9 and in the Xavantes of Mato Grosso (11.3%).…”

“…In 1975, when the Panará arrived at the Xingu Indigenous Park, 68% of their children less than 10 years old presented with hemoglobin below 11 g/dl, whereas, in 1998 this figure had dropped to 42%. 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.…”

“…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.…”

“…14 Despite the importance of iron deficiency anemia as a nutritional problem of great significance to the health of the pediatric population, there is little information with respect of the prevalence of anemia among groups of indigenous Brazilians. 5,8 The objectives of this study were to compare the weight and stature of Terenas Indian children less than ten years old, sampled at two different times (1995 and 2002) and to verify the presence of anemia in this population in 2002.…”

Objective: This study of Terena Indian children less than 10 years old was undertaken in order to compare weight and height in 1995 and 2002 and to evaluate anemia prevalence in 2002.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of the Limão Verde and Córrego Seco tribes, located in Aquidauana, Mato Gosso do Sul, Brazil. The study enrolled all 253 children who were less than 10 years old in 1995 and 244 who were under 10 in 2002. Their nutritional status was evaluated comparing weight and height with the NCHS (National Center for Health Statistics) reference values (Epi-Info version 6.2). Hemoglobin was assayed using a portable photometer.Results: The percentages of children with weight for age deficit (z score < -2 standard deviations) were 4 and 2.9% in 1995 and 2002 respectively. Percentages of weight for height deficits were 3.6 and 0.8% respectively. Percentages of height for age deficits were 15 and 11.1% respectively. The median z scores for weight, age and weight, and height showed a statistically significant increase during the period between 1995 and 2002 in infants. Between 24 and 60 months, there were increments in median z scores for weight for age and height for age. There was no statistically significant decrease in any of the anthropometric indicators, with reference to z scores. The prevalence rates of anemia were 86.1% for infants 6 to 24 months old (n = 43), 50.8% for those 24 to 60 months (n = 65) and 40.7% for children aged 60 to 120 months (n = 59). Conclusion

Agradecimentos: Ao povo Kamaiurá, que possibilitou a realização do presente estudo. Aos agentes indígenas de saúde e auxiliares de enfermagem indígenas pela participação no trabalho de campo. Nota: Este artigo foi produzido no contexto da cooperação UNESCO/Universidade Federal de São Paulo, Processo 914 BRA 3002 VIGISUS. As opiniões aqui expressas são de responsabilidade dos autores e não refletem necessariamente a visão da UNESCO sobre o assunto. ResumoEste estudo teve por objetivo avaliar o estado nutricional, incluindo a prevalência de anemia, de crianças Kamaiurá, povo indíge-na do Alto Xingu, Brasil Central. Foram estudadas 112 crianças menores de dez anos de idade em 2000/2001. O perfil do crescimento infantil foi descrito segundo a distribuição dos índices altura/idade e peso/altura expressos em escore-z da população de referência do National Center of Health Statistics -NCHS. Os diagnósticos de déficit de altura e da relação peso/altura e o diagnóstico de obesidade corresponderam, respectivamente, aos valores abaixo de -2 escores-z de altura/idade e peso/altura e aos valores acima de 2 escores-z de peso/altura. O diagnóstico de anemia foi determinado a partir de concentrações de hemoglobina sérica inferiores a 11 g/dl para crianças entre seis meses e cinco anos de idade e inferiores a 11,5 g/dl para as crianças com idade entre cinco e dez anos incompletos, conforme recomendação da OMS. Aproximadamente um terço das crianças apresentou déficit de crescimento, enquanto déficit de peso/altura e obesidade não foram diagnosticados entre elas. A anemia esteve presente em mais da metade das crianças índias estudadas, 15% delas apresentando anemia grave. Há necessidade de implementação de ações que visem a melhoria das condições socioambientais, de saúde e nutrição desse povo indígena.

A cross-sectional survey was carried out in 2003 to investigate the epidemiology of tuberculosis (TB) among the Suruí Indians, Brazilian Amazon. A total of 736 subjects (50.7% females) were examined (80% of the total population). TB suspects underwent standardised evaluation for the presence of signs and/or symptoms of active TB, including chest radiography, PPD skin test, sputum microscopy examination for acid-fast bacilli and mycobacterial culture. A Bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccine scar was detected in 699 individuals (95.0%). Of all the individuals examined, 120 (16.3%) had undergone previous TB treatment (46.7% females). One hundred and nine individuals were assessed as TB suspects (52.3% females). The survey identified six new cases of TB in the Suruí (three men and three women). Five of the six cases came from only two of the ten villages. Mycobacterium tuberculosis colonies grew from 5 (4.6%) samples (only two of which were also smear-positive) and mycobacteria other than M. tuberculosis were isolated from 14 (12.8%) samples. Diagnosis of TB based exclusively on clinical grounds was established only in the case of a 4-year-old girl. Based on this survey, the prevalence of active TB in the sampled group (N=736) was 815.2 per 100000. This study highlights the urgent need to review and strengthen control strategies directed at indigenous peoples in the country, taking into consideration their social, cultural and environmental differences.
