Monitoramento nutricional de adolescentes do Território da Cidadania da Grande Dourados-MS, Brasil

Abstract

Objective: To identify the nutritional monitoring of adolescents from the municipalities that make up Território de Cidadania Grande Dourados.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with secondary data of adolescents registered and monitored by SISVAN, in the year 2015, of 12 municipalities that make up the Território de Cidadania Dourados-MS / Brazil. For the population coverage, the population of adolescents enrolled in the SISVAN, populat ion registered in primary care and the census population, were considered. For the classification of nutritional status, the available values of each municipality were used for height-for-age (E/I) and Body Mass I ndex (BMI) indexes for age (BMI/I), classified according to cutoff points adopted by the Ministry of Health Health for nutritional surveillance.Results: The coverage of adolescents monitored by SISVAN showed a large difference between the analyzed municipalities and the territory coverage was 15% in relation to the census population and 18.6% in the SUS. Divergent values were observed among municipalities in relation to nutritional status, with prevalences higher than expected in a healthy population. There were 1.8% of very short stature and 5.01% of low stature; 0.94% of pronounced thinness and 2.34% of leanness; And 20.95% of overweight, 8.46% of obesity and 1.61 of serious obesity among adolescents of the municipalities that make up the Território de Cidadania da Grande Dourados.Conclusions: Considering the social vulnerability of the region, nutritional monitoring is low and results show that municipalities present important nutritional deviations, suggesting nutritional intervention to minimize health problems.
