Adicionar Tag | Resumo: | Unicef reports that Ecuador is the second country in Latin America and the Caribbean region with the highest prevalence of stunting due to chronic child malnutrition. In 2012, overweight and obesity in this region showed that one child from every three scholars and one boy from every four teenagers has been affected, with greater presence in the urban area, within their social environment they have experienced some type of violence such as physical, psychological and even sexual. Several studies carried out in Latin America state that “the nutritional status is determined by social and socio-family variants that the community has to investigate”; this development has been the key for the citizen future development, therefore, it is considered as a Public Health problem that should be the priority into the authorities' politic schedules from countries around the area. Thus, this research has been proposed as a quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study, aiming how to characterize children and teenagers cared by DINAPEN. In this case of study 100 children and teenagers participated, in which the following result was obtained: 40% age 15 to 19 years old, 32% age 5 to 9; 57% belong to female genre; 88% come from an urban area, 51% attend primary school, 67% come from a nuclear family and the 59% coexist only with their mother. Regarding the malnutrition state, 7% features obesity, 6% showed overweight, 3% underweight and only 4% presented severe family dysfunction. In addition, no statistically significant relationship was established between Family Functionality and Nutritional Status. Obtaining as a conclusion of the present study that a family with family dysfunction is not the cause of growth and development problems in their children. |
