To assess the prevalence of five forms of malnutrition (wasting/underweight, overweight, obesity, stunting/short stature and anaemia) by socio-economic wealth (SEW) and educational level (EL) among children, adolescents and women of reproductive age in Argentina.
Analysis from a cross-sectional survey. Anthropometric indicators and prevalence of anaemia were estimated. SEW was classified according to the proportion of contributors in the household, employment status, EL and medical coverage. EL was categorized by years of formal education.
National Health and Nutrition Survey, 2005.
Children (n 27 015) <5 years, adolescent girls (n 1729) 11-19 years, women (n 4401) 20-49 years.
In Argentina, 26 % of households lived with unsatisfied basic needs and 23 % received at least one form of food assistance. Any form of malnutrition affected 23 % of children, 36 % of girls and 56 % of women. Children were especially affected by anaemia, overweight/obesity and stunting (15·2, 9·9, 7·4 %, respectively). Girls were affected by overweight/obesity, anaemia and stunting (22·5, 15·2, 6·2 %). Women were strongly affected by overweight/obesity, anaemia and stunting (43·8, 19·8, 10·5 %). Stunting or short stature was higher in low-SEW settings, doubling in prevalence between low and high levels, increasing four times among women in reproductive age (P < 0·05). Excess weight among children was higher in high-SEW settings, in women the tendency was inverse. Anaemia showed different tendency according to SEW.
In 2005, Argentina had high rates of excess weight and anaemia, moderate prevalence of stunting and low frequency of wasting/underweight. All forms of malnutrition showed a strong relationship with socio-economic and educational inequality.
评估阿根廷儿童、青少年和育龄妇女的五种形式营养不良(消瘦/体重不足、超重、肥胖、发育迟缓/身材矮小和贫血)的社会经济财富(SEW)和教育水平(EL)流行率。
横断面调查分析。估计了体脂指数和贫血的流行率。SEW 根据家庭中缴款人的比例、就业状况、EL 和医疗覆盖范围进行分类。EL 按正规教育年限进行分类。
2005 年国家健康和营养调查。
27 015 名<5 岁儿童、1729 名 11-19 岁的少女、4401 名 20-49 岁的妇女。
阿根廷有 26%的家庭生活在无法满足基本需求的环境中,23%的家庭获得了至少一种形式的粮食援助。任何形式的营养不良都影响了 23%的儿童、36%的少女和 56%的妇女。儿童特别容易受到贫血、超重/肥胖和发育迟缓的影响(分别为 15.2%、9.9%、7.4%)。少女受超重/肥胖、贫血和发育迟缓的影响(22.5%、15.2%、6.2%)。妇女则深受超重/肥胖、贫血和发育迟缓的影响(43.8%、19.8%、10.5%)。低 SEW 地区的发育迟缓或身材矮小发生率更高,在低水平和高水平之间翻了一番,育龄妇女增加了四倍(P<0.05)。儿童超重/肥胖发生率较高的是高 SEW 地区,而妇女的趋势则相反。贫血的流行率根据 SEW 呈现出不同的趋势。
2005 年,阿根廷的超重和贫血率较高,发育迟缓率中等,消瘦/体重不足率较低。所有形式的营养不良都与社会经济和教育不平等有很强的关系。
