The monitoring and combined use of dietary supplements to restore adequate growth are paramount and highly recommended in child malnutrition, an important public health problem. The objective of this study was to analyze the effects of cashew nut seed flour in children with moderate malnutrition, treated at primary healthcare services. This is a randomized clinical trial conducted from April to October 2017 in the city of Imperatriz, Brazil. The sample comprised 30 children born at term, aged between 2 and 5 years, and newly diagnosed with malnutrition (60 days or less), randomized into experimental and control groups. The intervention consisted of daily intake of cashew nut seed flour. There was intragroup statistically significant difference in the glucose levels of children who were assigned to the control group (=0.02) and in the glycated hemoglobin in the experimental group ( < 0.01). Intergroup analysis of glycated hemoglobin levels showed statistically significant differences in favor of the experimental group (=0.01). HDL and LDL had, respectively, increased and decreased in the experimental group. The use of cashew nut seed flour in a 24-week period had positive effects on glycated hemoglobin, HDL, and LDL parameters in moderately malnourished children.
在儿童营养不良这一重要的公共卫生问题中，监测并联合使用膳食补充剂以恢复充足生长至关重要且强烈推荐。本研究的目的是分析腰果籽粉对在初级卫生保健机构接受治疗的中度营养不良儿童的影响。这是一项于2017年4月至10月在巴西因佩拉特里斯市进行的随机临床试验。样本包括30名足月出生、年龄在2至5岁之间且新诊断为营养不良（60天或更短时间）的儿童，随机分为实验组和对照组。干预措施为每日摄入腰果籽粉。对照组儿童的血糖水平（=0.02）以及实验组儿童的糖化血红蛋白水平（<0.01）在组内存在统计学显著差异。糖化血红蛋白水平的组间分析显示实验组具有统计学显著差异（=0.01）。实验组的高密度脂蛋白（HDL）升高，低密度脂蛋白（LDL）降低。在24周期间使用腰果籽粉对中度营养不良儿童的糖化血红蛋白、HDL和LDL参数具有积极影响。
