| Popis: | Factors determining the nutritional status (NS) of 1321 children and mothers of low socioeconomic levels; attended in the Pediatric Department of the Paulista Medicine School were investigated. According to Gomez and Waterlow, 50.6% of the children were malnourished, 44.8% eutrophic and 4.6% were overweight or obese. According to the criteria of Jelliffe 12.4% of the mothers were malnourished, 53.4% eutrophic and 34.2% were overweight or obese. Of the mothers of malnourished children 55.1% were eutrophic, 14.3% malnourished and 30.6% overweight or obese. Correlation between the child's NS and birthweight was highly significant (p < 0.001). The Goodman test, showed an association between malnutrition, low income and maternal education and high number of sibling. There was no association between maternal malnutrition, income and education. A higher number of children and more advance maternal age was associated with overweight and obesity There was no association between NS of mothers and children and maternal work. Maternal birthweight income and education are important factors in child NS. The determining factors of postnatal malnutrition are different for mothers and children. |
