Factores de riesgo para la curva plana de crecimiento en niños de 6 meses a 2 años de edad que acuden a consulta externa en el hospital Isidro Ayora Loja. periodo marzo septiembre del 2012.

This research has as principal objective to identify the main risk factors for the flat curve and determine its prevalence and incidence by gender and age group. Also find out if the family, low birth weight and feeding problems are a risk factor. Finally correlate the prevalence of IRA and EDA for it appears. The research is analytical, case-control, cross-sectional prospective. Were investigated 95 children who attended the outpatient department of Pediatrics and meet the proposed criteria. The results are in Tables 11 and 20 statistical graphs, which found that the majority of children presented flat curve, by 56% (53 cases). When distributed by gender and age group predominantly female (55%) and most are distributed in the 6 months to 1 year (24%), followed by the 1 year 7 months to 2 years 6 months (23%). The flat curve group belong to an extended family (64%), which contrasts with the upswing group belonging to a nuclear family (64%). The flat curve group shows the highest percentage of low birth weight (36%). Feeding problems are related to rejection to ingestion, or difficulty managing the volume of food refusal, and dominate the flat curve group (57%) as opposed to group upward curve with a minimum rate of 15%. In the group with flat curve, the highest percentage in more than 6 episodes of IRA per year (54%) in contrast to the upward curve group with the highest percentage of no espisodio per year (57%). Although the infections are common in early childhood and often negatively affect the expression of the potential for growth and development, a higher percentage of children without any episodes of EDA year is in the group of plane curve (34%). At the end we can clearly determine that the risk factors for the filing of a plane curve are: occupation and marital status of the mother, low birth weight, family type, feeding problems, frequent episodes of IRA and lack of interest in doing growth controls and timely development.
