The nutritional status resultant from dietary habits along with socioeconomic conditions and the school environment are directly related to the individual's health condition not only in their childhood but also throughout adulthood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of socioeconomic factors on the anthropometric profile and to analyze a probable association between this profile and biochemical markers in children attending public daycare centers.
It is a transversal study developed in a probability sample of clusters of children from 6 months to 5 years old. Anthropometric and socioeconomic data were gathered at the CMEIs, questionnaires on the nutritional status were applied and blood was collected at the Family Health Units (USFs).
Female children are three times more likely to be underweight; in families with five members, it is 1/3 more likely that children of higher-educated parents are overweight. Among the results of the biochemical tests, hypervitaminosis A was a relevant aspect, positively correlating with copper (p=0.005) and zinc (p=0.008).
Therefore, since the influence of the family is an important predictor of overweight and its future outcomes related to nutritional deficiencies and inadequate dietary intake, educational interventions are vital as a way to pave the path to prevention.
饮食习惯以及社会经济条件和学校环境所导致的营养状况不仅与个体在儿童期而且在整个成年期的健康状况直接相关。本研究旨在评估社会经济因素对人体测量特征的影响，并分析该特征与在公立日托中心的儿童的生化标志物之间可能存在的关联。
这是一项在儿童从 6 个月到 5 岁的概率样本聚类中进行的横断面研究。在 CMEIs 收集了人体测量学和社会经济数据，在家庭健康单位（USFs）应用了营养状况问卷并采集了血液。
女性儿童更容易出现体重不足的情况，是男性的三倍；在有五名成员的家庭中，父母受教育程度较高的儿童超重的可能性要高出三分之一。在生化测试的结果中，维生素 A 过多是一个重要的方面，与铜（p=0.005）和锌（p=0.008）呈正相关。
因此，由于家庭的影响是超重及其未来与营养缺乏和饮食摄入不足相关的结果的重要预测因素，因此教育干预至关重要，是预防的关键。
