Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this article were to assess the reproducibility of the landmark locating, and to obtain some facial soft tissue measurements data of the teenagers. METHODS: 8 males were selected to refix the black markers by the same operator and remeasure 14 items by the system, then compare both results. Three dimensional facial morphametry was investigated in a sample of 20 teenagers at the early stage of the permanent dentition. RESULTS: No item of the remeasurement test showed statistical difference error. The sexual dimorphism was found in the measurements connecting with lower face height(Sn-Pg). CONCLUSION: It indicated that the landmarks selected in this study had biologic significance and unique definition. The result of teenager facial measurements is in accordance with growth rule.

[Growth, diarrhea, and breastfeeding: the case of Vila do João].

A prospective study on children under six months old living in an urban area on the periphery of Rio de Janeiro was carried out to examine the possible effect of diarrhea in differentiating the monthly growth rate in weight and height, according to type of nursing. The results seem to indicate that infants show a delay in growth of weight and height as a result of greater incidence and prevalence of diarrhea. It was also shown that human breast milk has a protective effect, reducing weight loss from episodes of diarrhea. The study concludes that the promotion of breastfeeding, together with the control of diarrheal diseases, can provide immediate benefits in improving the nutritional status of the infant population.

[Determinants of malnutrition in a low-income population: hierarchical analytical model].

To investigate the determinants of malnutrition among low-income children, the effects of socioeconomic, environmental, reproductive, morbidity, child care, birthweight and breastfeeding variables on stunting and wasting were studied. All 354 children below two years of age living in two urban slum areas of Pelotas, southern Brazil, were included. The multivariate analyses took into account the hierarchical structure of the risk factors for each type of deficit. Variables selected as significant on a given level of the model were considered as risk factors, even if their statistical significance was subsequently lost when hierarchically inferior variables were included. The final model for stunting included the variables education and presence of the father, maternal education and employment, birthweight and age. For wasting, the variables selected were the number of household appliances, birth interval, housing conditions, borough, birthweight, age, gender and previous hospitalizations.

[Nutritional status of children and occupational categories of the family in a rural community of Paraná, Brazil].

The relationship between the occupational category of the family and the nutritional status of children was studied. Participants were 340 children up to 11 years of age, living in a small town of a rural area in Paraná, Brazil. The nutritional status of the children, as measured in 1983, was related to the principal occupational categories of the family in the period 1972- 1983. Occupation of the family was categorized as: migrant farmworkers (bóias-frias) throughout the entire period; renters or sharecroppers that were converted to migrant farmworkers; those who never worked as migrant farmworkers; and salaried urban workers that were converted to migrant farmworkers. Other variables included age and sex of the children, condition of birth (home or hospital), number of children up to 11 years of age in the family, birthweight and school enrollment of the children 5 years old or over. The prevalence of wasting was greatest among children belonging to salaried urban workers that were converted to migrant farmworkers. In contrast, this category showed the lowest prevalence of stunting. Compared with migrant farmworkers during the entire period, the odds ratio of wasting in this category was 2.7 with a 95% confidence interval of 1.3-5.7. Wasting and stunting were also independently associated with the number of children (p<0.05). The larger the family, the lower the risk of wasting, whereas for stunting, the larger the family, the higher the risk. These findings suggest an important role for the occupational category in the determination of the nutritional status in children and indicate that wasting and stunting may have differential risk factors.
