“…1 Existing preschool evaluations in Latin America have relied exclusively on quasi-experimental identification strategies (Leroy et al, 2012). Other preschool studies compare participating and non-participating children without establishing causal attribution, for example Mwaura et al, 2008 for Kenya, Uganda, andZanzibar, andRao et al, 2012 for Cambodia.…”

“…Considera-se que os cuidados oferecidos nas creches, com a oferta de uma alimentação adequada, possam fazer dessas instituições um importante instrumento de promoção da segurança alimentar e nutricional dos seus beneficiários 48 . Ainda, nessa conjuntura, há a necessidade de ressaltar a infraestrutura como um importante indicador da qualidade das creches 49 , a qual deve ser garantida por lei 20 e precisa de maior atenção por parte dos pesquisadores, no sentido de conhecer de maneira mais apurada o seu impacto na promoção da saúde e do estado nutricional 50 .…”

Resumo Objetivou-se verificar as diferenças no estado nutricional de micronutrientes de crianças segundo as características pessoais e das creches, além de testar o comportamento dessas diferenças de acordo com o crescimento linear. Estudo transversal com 271 crianças assistidas em creches. As concentrações médias (± EP) de hemoglobina, de zinco no soro e de retinol no soro foram de 11,79 g/dL (± 1,08), 81,58 µg/dL (± 16,56) e 1,68 μmol/L (± 0,45), respectivamente, valores inferiores nas crianças de 9-24 meses e naquelas que estudavam em salas de área inadequadas. Crianças com eosinofilia e em regime parcial apresentaram concentrações médias de hemoglobina e de zinco estatisticamente inferiores. O poliparasitismo esteve associado a baixas concentrações de hemoglobina e de retinol. De acordo com o crescimento linear, crianças com condições específicas (meninas, mais de 24 meses de idade, de zona urbana, não poliparasitadas) tiveram concentrações de zinco inferiores, quando diagnosticadas com déficit de estatura, em relação às eutróficas. Conclui-se que as crianças estudadas apresentaram diferenças no estado nutricional de micronutrientes influenciadas por processos parasitários e por problemas estruturais das creches. Além disso, estabeleceram diferenças relacionadas ao crescimento linear da criança.
