Orientador: Antonio de Azevedo Barros Filho / Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Ciencias Medicas / Made available in DSpace on 2018-08-08T15:00:59Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Bernardi_JuliaLauraDelbue_D.pdf: 3614170 bytes, checksum: f0a99b733b3501c4c65c825196a3ac73 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2007 / Resumo: O presente estudo verificou a prevalência do aleitamento materno, a idade mediana de introdução de alimentos complementares e o crescimento de crianças menores de dois anos, correlacionados às características sócio-econômicas, de moradores da cidade de Campinas, São Paulo. Entre os anos de 2004 e 2005 de forma ininterrupta, 2857 lactentes foram sorteados do banco de dados da Declaração de Nascidos Vivos (SINASC), cujas mães responderam, em seu domicílio, a um questionário estruturado para obter informações sobre condições sócio-econômicas da família, amamentação, alimentação complementar e crescimento de seu filho. A entrevista teve duração aproximada de uma hora e ao final, foram aferidos o peso e o comprimento da criança. A mediana encontrada para o aleitamento materno exclusivo foi de 90 dias e para o aleitamento materno predominante e geral 120 dias, respectivamente. Com um mês, 66,2% dos lactentes estavam mamando exclusivamente, índice que baixou para 21,2% aos quatro meses e para 2,3% aos seis meses. Os lactentes de cor de pele branca foram amamentados por mais tempo do que os de pele negra/parda (p<0,001). A introdução mediana dos alimentos complementares mostrou-se precoce para líquidos e guloseimas, adequada para alimentos sólidos e semisólidos e tardia para ovos. O crescimento ponderal e linear revelou adequado padrão quando comparado à referência recomendada pela OMS (WHO 2006). Aproximadamente 67% das crianças eram eutróficas para peso e comprimento, com leve aumento para excesso de peso (6,7%) em relação à desnutrição (2,3%). Os meninos de mães desempregadas apresentaram menor peso que os de mães com profissão de nível técnico. As meninas de mães com profissões relacionadas à área da saúde, apresentaram menor comprimento do que as de profissões técnicas, em relação ao aleitamento predominante. O presente estudo revelou que, embora o tempo do aleitamento materno esteja aquém dos padrões recomendados, ainda é maior que a média nacional. No entanto, há precocidade na introdução dos alimentos que completam a dieta dos lactentes, principalmente de líquidos e guloseimas, embora estas características não estejam interferindo no padrão de crescimento / Abstract: The current survey verified the prevalence of breastfeeding, the median for introduction of complementary foods and the growth of infants less than two years of age, associated with the socioeconomic status in Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil. During 2004 and 2005, 2857 mothers of infants of a randomized sample, based on data of ¿Declaration of Born Alive¿, were interviewed in order to obtain information on socioeconomic status, practice of breastfeeding, introduction of complementary foods, growth and diseases. The interviews lasted one hour approximately and weight and length of newborns were measured. The median of exclusive breastfeeding (EB) was 90 days and for the predominant breastfeeding (PB) and for full breastfeeding (FB) was 120 days. At 1 month, 66,2% of infants were exclusively brestfed; at 4 months and 6 months these percentages decreased to 21,2% and 2,3% , respectively. The white skin newborns were breastfed longer than the black skin newborns. The median for the introduction of complementary foods presented early introduction of liquids and candies, adequate for salted semi-solid and solid foods and later for eggs. The ponderal and linear growth showed adequate patterns when compared to international recommendation, with approximately 67% of newborns at the percentiles of eutrophia for weight and length, with a low increase to overweight (6,7%) in relation to malnutrition (2,3%). In relation to maternal occupation, males of unemployed mothers presented a lower weight when compared to mothers of a technical level. The females of mothers of health occupation presented lower length when compared to mothers of a technical level or low schooling in relation to exclusive breastfeeding. The current survey showed the median of the breastfeeding duration in Campinas is not adequate when compared to the international recommendation, but it is better than others places of Brazil. Campinas presented early introduction of complementary foods in the dietary intakes of the infants, principally liquids and candies, although these factors did not interfere at the growth / Doutorado / Pediatria / Doutor em Saude da Criança e do Adolescente

L’alimentation précoce : ses déterminants, son influence sur la croissance postnatale et les consommations alimentaires à 3 ans / Early feeding practices : determinants and influence on postnatal growth and on food intake at 3 years of age

Betoko, Aisha 27 June 2013 (has links)
Contexte : L’alimentation précoce a une influence sur la croissance et le développement des habitudes alimentaires. Dans la littérature, les déterminants et les effets sur la santé des pratiques d’allaitement et de diversification alimentaire (introduction des aliments autres que le lait) ont souvent été analysés en dissociant ces deux pratiques pourtant très liées. Objectifs : Caractériser par une approche plus globale l’alimentation dans la première année de vie, mettre en évidence ses principaux déterminants et comprendre son influence sur la croissance dans les trois premières années de vie de l’enfant et ses habitudes alimentaires à 3 ans. Méthodes : Les données de la cohorte EDEN qui a recruté 2002 femmes enceintes en début de grossesse, entre 2003 et 2006 dans deux hôpitaux à Nancy et à Poitiers, ont été utilisées. L’alimentation et les paramètres anthropométriques de l’enfant ont été recueillis par questionnaires et examens cliniques à la naissance, 4, 8, 12, 24 et 36 mois. Une analyse en composantes principales a permis d’identifier des profils de pratiques alimentaires dans la première année de vie à partir de la durée d’allaitement, de l’âge d’introduction de différents groupes d’aliments et du mode de préparation des aliments utilisés (préparations « maison », plats préparés « spécifiques bébé » et plats préparés ordinaires du commerce). Des régressions linéaires et logistiques multiples ont été utilisées pour analyser les associations entre profils de pratiques alimentaires, croissance et habitudes alimentaires à 3 ans. Résultats : i) Le type de préparation infantile utilisée de manière prédominante les 4 premiers mois de vie était associé à la parité, l’éducation et le retour à l’emploi maternels mais pas à la croissance de l’enfant sur cette même période. ii) Trois profils de pratiques alimentaires dans la première année de vie ont été identifiés dans la cohorte EDEN. Des scores élevés sur le profil 1 « Diversification tardive et utilisation d’aliments spécifiques bébé » étaient associés à un revenu familial élevé, un âge et un niveau d’études maternels élevés, une parité faible et un recrutement à Nancy. Des scores élevés sur le profil 2 « Allaitement maternel long, diversification tardive et utilisation d’aliments faits maison » étaient associés un âge et un niveau d’études maternels élevés et un recrutement à Poitiers. Des scores élevés sur le profil 3 « Utilisation fréquente d’aliments ordinaires du commerce » étaient associés à un âge maternel plus faible, une parité plus élevée et un recrutement à Nancy. iii) Un score élevé sur le profil 2 était associé à une croissance staturo-pondérale plus lente entre 0 et 1 an et plus rapide entre 1 et 3 ans après ajustement sur les facteurs de confusion potentiels. Ce même profil était associé positivement à la consommation de fruits et légumes à 3 ans. Un ajustement supplémentaire sur la durée d’allaitement maternel atténuait les relations sans pour autant les faire disparaître totalement, suggérant un effet de l’ensemble de pratiques alimentaires dans la première année de vie sur les paramètres que nous avons étudiés. Conclusions : Ces résultats confirment l’importance des déterminants socioculturels sur les pratiques d’alimentation dans la première année de vie. Ils confirment également les liens entre l’alimentation précoce et d’une part la croissance dans les trois premières années de vie et d’autre part l’apprentissage des habitudes alimentaires ultérieures. La prise en compte dans la recherche de l’ensemble des pratiques alimentaires dans la première année de vie, lorsque l’on s’intéresse à leurs effets sur le développement de l’enfant doit être encouragée. / Background: Early eating patterns can determine later eating habits and food preferences and they have been related child growth. In the literature, the determinants and health effects of breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices have often been analyzed separately. Yet, breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices are interrelated and there are arguments to suggest that both influence later health. Objectives : We aimed to characterize feeding practices over the first year of life and to examine their associations with family and infant characteristics, with growth changes in the first 3 years of life, and their relations with food intake at 3 years of age. Methodes : Subjects were participants of the EDEN mother-child cohort. The study recruited 2,002 pregnant women aged 18-45 years attending their prenatal visit before 24 weeks’ gestation at Nancy and Poitiers University Hospitals between 2003 and 2006. Dietary practices and anthropometric measurements were collected through maternal self-report and clinical examinations at birth, 4, 8, 12, 24 and 36 months. Principal component analysis was applied to derive patterns from breastfeeding duration, age of introduction of complementary foods (CF) and type of food used at 1y (ready-prepared baby foods, home-made foods, ready-prepared ordinary foods). Multiple linear and logistic regressions were used to analyze associations between feeding patterns, growth and food intake at 3 years of age. Results : i) The type infant formula (partially hydrolyzed, thickened, enriched in pre- or probiotic and others) used in the first four months of life was related to maternal return to employment, parity but not to infant growth in the same period. ii) Three major feeding patterns were identified in the EDEN study. The main source of variability in infant feeding was characterized by a pattern labeled ‘Late weaning and use of ready-prepared baby foods’. Older, more educated, primiparous women with high monthly income and recruited in Nancy ranked high on this pattern. The second pattern, labeled ‘Longer breastfeeding, late CF introduction and use of home-made foods’ was the closest to infant feeding guidelines. Mothers with high scores on this pattern were older, more educated and recruited in Poitiers. The third pattern labeled ‘Use of ordinary foods’ is more suggestive of infants having a less age-specific diet. Mothers ranking high on this pattern were often younger, multiparous and recruited in Nancy. iii) High scores on the second pattern were related to significant lower 0-1y weight and height change, higher 1-3y weight and height change and to a significant higher fruit and vegetables intake at 3 years of age after controlling for a wide range of potential confounding variables. An additional adjustment on breastfeeding duration attenuated the relationships without making them disappear completely, suggesting an effect of the overall feeding practices in the first year of life on the parameters that we studied. Conclusions : Our results confirm the importance of socio-cultural determinants on feeding practices over the first year of life. They also confirm the relations between early nutrition and growth in the first three years of life and later eating habits. Our results emphasize the need to consider infant feeding over the first year of life including breastfeeding duration, age of complementary foods introduction as well as type of foods used when examining effects of early infant feeding practices on later health.

A critical analysis of the labels of processed complementary foods for infants and young children in South Africa against international marketing guidelines / L. Sweet.

Sweet, Lara January 2012 (has links)
Motivation Processed complementary food labels should protect and promote optimal breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices, important determinants of child survival, growth and development, and provide information regarding safe and appropriate use. However, there is a lack of formal guidelines from international normative bodies on the appropriate marketing of complementary foods. In recognition of the need for interim guidance, the Maternal, Infant and Young Child Working Group developed the Draft Guide for Marketing Complementary Foods, which provides practical guidance on how the marketing (including labelling) of processed complementary foods and supplements can be informed by the principles of the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes (the Code) and subsequent relevant World Health Assembly (WHA) resolutions in a way that supports optimal infant and young child feeding. Aim The aim of this study was to describe the extent to which the labelling practices (as a sub-set of marketing practices) of processed complementary food sold in South Africa comply with international guidance on the marketing of complementary foods that is fully aligned with the principles of the Code and subsequent relevant WHA resolutions (the Draft Guide for Marketing Complementary Foods). Methods Employing a cross-sectional study design, products were purchased from a sample of 17 retail grocery stores, three wholesale grocery stores, three retail pharmacies and three baby chain stores in the Gauteng, Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal provinces from June to August 2011. Purchased products were then compared with a master list of complementary food products compiled through desk research, and missing products were identified and purchased. Label information was captured, then blinded and the order of products randomised. The Draft Guide for Marketing Complementary Foods was used to create a checklist with pre-set answers and accompanying criteria against which the captured labelling practices were then analysed. Results One hundred and sixty product labels of 35 manufacturers were analysed, none of which complied with all checklist criteria. Fifty-six (35%) labels did not provide an appropriate age of introduction, while 32 (20%) labels used phrases implying that the product was suitable for use before six months of age. Thirty-seven (23%) labels used images of infants appearing to be younger than six months. Only 20 (13%) labels carried a message regarding the importance of exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life, and none provided a message on the importance of the addition of complementary foods from six months together with continued breastfeeding to two years or beyond. Eight (5%) labels recommended feeding the product in a bottle and two labels (1%) used an image of a feeding bottle. Nineteen (12%) labels suggested a daily ration too large for a breastfed child, and 32 (20%) potentially promote the manufacturer’s infant formula. All labels provided label information in an appropriate language, but 102 (64%) labels relegated required label information to small text and were thus not easy to read. Only six (4%) labels failed to provide instructions for safe and appropriate use, while 44 (28%) did not include safety messages in their preparation and use instructions. Ten (6%) labels did not provide storage instructions, and 27 (17%) labels did not provide necessary warnings. Nutrient content claims, nutrient comparative claims, nutrient function/other function claims and reduction of disease risk claims were found on 126 (79%), eight (5%), 117 (73%) and 10 (6%) labels, respectively. Conclusion The labelling practices of processed complementary food labels in South Africa do not fully comply with international guidance on the marketing of complementary foods (the Draft Guide for Marketing Complementary Foods) and so do not sufficiently protect and promote optimal infant and young child feeding practices, revealing much room for improvement. Such guidance must be refined and formalised by international normative bodies and adopted into national legislation to assist manufacturers in ensuring that their complementary food labels meet an accepted standard and contribute towards the safe and appropriate use of processed complementary foods. / Thesis (MSc (Nutrition))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2013.

Alimentação de recém-nascidos e lactentes a termo e prematuros atendidos em um hospital escola

Yagi, Rosicler Garcia Rodrigues 14 July 2005 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-01-26T12:51:12Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 rosicleryagi_dissert.pdf: 414700 bytes, checksum: 16f9a0fd1dd26383f4b843678eec9dd6 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2005-07-14 / Brazilian government policy of public health aims to promote and support breastfeeding; consequently reducing the infant mortality as well as improving the children´s quality of life. The objectives of this study were: a) to observe the diet of premature and full-term babies aged under two years, assessing the breastfeeding indicators of the World Health Organization (WHO): exclusive breastfeeding, predominant breastfeeding, complementary proper foods, continued breastfeeding and milk bottle feeding; b) to compare standardized diets among premature and full-term newborns. Casuistics: Two hundred of mothers of newborns and infants participated the study. They were divided into four groups (50 each): Group I (< 4 months); Group II ( between 6 and <10 months); Group III ( between 12 and < 16 months); Group IV ( between 20 and <24 months). Method: At first the project was approved by the Ethics Committee of Research. Afterwards, before the routinely consulting, the mothers answered a questionnaire based on a methodology standardized by WHO about information of diet during the last 24 hours. Results: The majority of mothers was adult (lesser than 20% of adolescents), able to read and write (97%; IC:93 to 99%), living with a partner (estimative of 79.5%; IC:73 to 85%), minority worked outside (27%; IC:21 to 34%). Average of 70.5% (IC:64 to 77%) of cesarean labor and 50.5% (IC:43 to 57%) of premature labor. The minority performed the first breastfeeding in the labor room (estimative of 18%; IC:13 to 25%). In Group I, the rate of exclusive breastfeeding was 40% (IC:26 to 55%), and predominant breastfeeding 28% (IC:16 to 42%). In Group II, the rate of breastfeeding with complementary proper foods was 46% (IC:32 to 61%). In Group III, the rate of continued breastfeeding up to one year was 30% (IC:18 to 45%); and in Group IV, the rate of continued breastfeeding up to two years was 32% (IC:20 to 47%). The rate of milk bottle feeding for babies under one year was 57% (IC:47 to 67%). Conclusions: The characteristics of the groups of mothers and babies were almost homogeneous, both have been following partially the facilitator routines of breastfeeding. As the age of babies increased, breastfeeding diminished, with the early introduction of liquids and complementary diet. The standardized diet of full-term and premature babies was similar. / O Brasil adota uma política de saúde voltada para a promoção, proteção e apoio ao aleitamento materno, como forma de reduzir a mortalidade infantil e melhorar a qualidade de vida das crianças. Os objetivos deste estudo foram; a) caracterizar a amostra e verificar a alimentação de bebês com idade inferior a dois anos, prematuros e a termo, avaliando os indicadores de aleitamento materno propostos pela Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS): amamentação exclusiva, amamentação predominante, alimentação complementar oportuna, amamentação continuada e alimentação por mamadeira; b) comparar padrões alimentares entre bebês prematuros e a termo. Casuística: participaram do estudo 200 mães de recém-nascidos e lactentes divididas em quatro grupos de 50 mães; Grupo 1 (<4 meses); Grupo II (entre 6 e <10 meses); Grupo III (entre 12 e <16 meses); Grupo IV (entre 20 e <24 meses). Método; O projeto foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa. Antes da consulta rotineira, as mães responderam a um questionário, fundamentado em metodologia padronizada pela OMS, sobre informações alimentares relativas as últimas 24 horas. Resultados: A maioria das mães encontrava-se na fase adulta (menos de 20% de adolescentes), alfabetizadas (97%; lC:93 a 99%), com parceiros (estimativa de 79,5%; 10:73 a 85%), minoria trabalhava fora (27%; 10:21 a 34%). Estimativa de 70,5% (lC:64 a 77%) de parto cesárea e 50,5% (lC:43 a 57%) de prematuridade. A minoria realizou a primeira mamada na sala de parto (estimativa de 18%; lC:13 a 25%). No Grupo 1 a taxa de aleitamento materno exclusivo foi 40% (lC:26 a 55%) e de aleitamento materno predominante 28% (10:16 a 42%). No Grupo II a taxa de aleitamento materno com alimentação complementar oportuna de 46% (10:32 a 61%). Para o Grupo III, a taxa de aleitamento materno continuado até um ano foi de 30% (10:18 a 45%) e para o Grupo IV a taxa de aleitamento materno continuado até dois anos foi de 32% (10:20 a 47%). Nota de Resumo A taxa de alimentação por mamadeira para menores de um ano foi de 57% (10:47 a 67%). Conclusões: As características dos grupos de mães e crianças foram quase homogêneas; ambos seguiam parcialmente rotinas facilitadoras da amamentação. O aleitamento materno diminui com o aumento da idade, havendo a introdução precoce de líquidos e alimentação complementar. O padrão alimentar dos bebês a termo e prematuros foi semelhante.
