Resumen
El objetivo fue conocer el estado nutricional y las características ambientales y socio-económicas de residencia de escolares del periurbano productivo de la ciudad de La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Entre los ciclos lectivos 2014-2017 se relevó peso y talla y se calculó el índice de masa corporal de 3.696 escolares, de entre 3 y 14 años de edad, residentes en seis localidades ubicadas en la periferia de la ciudad de La Plata. La información acerca del contexto de residencia se obtuvo mediante encuestas e indicó un ambiente empobrecido, con escaso saneamiento, padres con bajo nivel de instrucción y empleo mayoritariamente no formalizado. Hubo 4,8% de retraso lineal del crecimiento, 0,5% de desnutrición aguda, 24,6% de sobrepeso y 18,2% de obesidad. La coexistencia de ambos extremos de malnutrición ilustra una paradoja nutricional en el entorno de la producción de alimentos saludables.
The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the nutritional status of child populations living in four counties of the province of Buenos Aires to observe differences related to particular environmental and socioeconomic contexts in the framework of the nutrition transition. During the school years corresponding to the 2008- 2012 period, weight and height were measured and body mass index was calculated for 7,873 school children between the ages of 4 and 12 years from the counties of La Plata, Brandsen, Magdalena and Punta Indio. Information about the contexts of residence was obtained using self-administered structured surveys. About 40% of schoolchildren presented malnutrition, with a prevalence of overweight in La Plata, obesity in Punta Indio and undernutrition in Magdalena. The nutritional status of the study populations was associated with the socioenvironmental conditions of residence, indicating that these populations are at different stages of the nutrition transition process.
