oai:repositorio:1-13998 Levantamento da freqüência de baixo peso de nascimento em Manaus, 1976 Giugliano, Rodolfo Souza, José Viana de Shrimpton, Roger Giugliano, Loreny Gimenes The Amazon Basin has bean called a zone of endemic hunger, however few representative scientific studies of human nutritional status have been carried out. Birth weight is influenced amongts other things by nutritional status. As data on the frequency of low birth weights in the Amazon was not available, 4168 birth records for the year 1976 were studied in two maternity clinics of Manaus. One clinic with 2552 births, attended principally the poor of the city, whilst the second attended 1614 births of a higher socio-economic level. The study represent some 25% of the estimated total number of births in the city for 1976. The frequency of low birth weight in the poor maternity clinic (11.7%) was higher than in the richer one (8.1%) (P<0,001). Attention is brought to the fact that most probably half of the poorest people in the city had their children at home. In comparison with other parts of the world these frequencies are intermediate between the north east of Brazil and developed countries, being only half of the frequencies found in Asia. The possible local factors responsible for these results are discussend and recommendations made that could improve the situation. Foi levantado o peso de nascimento de 4.166 crianças nascidas em Manaus, no ano de 1976, em 2 maternidades que atendem a populações de níveis socioeconômicos diferentes. Na maternidade I (classe pobre), foram levantados 2.552 nascimentos e encontrou-se uma freqüência de baixo peso de nascimento (<2,500g) de 11,7% enquanto que, na maternidade II (classe média/alta) apurou-se 1.614 nascimentos, com uma freqüência de baixo peso de 8,1%. A diferença foi significativa (p<0,001). Quando analisada a freqüência de peso abaixo de 2.000g. nas duas maternidades, verificou-se que é 4 vezes maior na maternidade I em relação à maternidade II. São discutidas também comparações desses dados com outros disponíveis na literatura, suas implicações sobre as taxas de mortalidade infantil e o posterior desenvolvimento saudável da criança e as possíveis causas e sugestões para sua melhoria 2020-04-24T16:04:43Z 2020-04-24T16:04:43Z 1979 Artigo https://repositorio.inpa.gov.br/handle/1/13998 10.1590/1809-43921979091109 pt_BR Volume 9, Número 1, Pags. 109-116 Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazil http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/ application/pdf Acta Amazonica |
