Cobertura do sistema de vigilância alimentar e nutricional e prevalência do estado nutricional por fases de vida, no estado de Mato Grosso do Sul - Brasil

Abstract

The objective was to evaluate food and nutritional monitoring coverage and to identify prevalences of low weight and overweight by life stages, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, in 2016, by the Food and Nutrition Surveillance System (SISVAN). This is a descriptive and cross-sectional study with secondary data from the 79 municipalities of the state, presented in the 11 health micro-regions. The population coverage was estimated according to data from the IBGE and by the cadastre in Primary Care. The reports of nutritional status were generated by life stage: Child, Adolescent, Adult and Elderly. Sisvan's coverage was low, compared to the population served by Basic Care, only 17.8% for Nutritional Status and 1.15% for Food Consumption in the state. The records of Food Consumption in the system predominated for children and Nutrition Status for adults. Higher prevalences of overweight were observed at all stages of life, but nutritional deficits in the elderly and children are of concern. The scope of Sisvan was total in all municipalities, but with low coverage given the relevance of the System in all the micro-regions of health of the state, requiring greater commitment of health managers for its effective implementation.
