Variabilidad en el diagnóstico del estado nutricional utilizando diferentes patrones de referencia antropométrica en niños y niñas menores de cinco años del Centro Infantil del Buen Vivir Las Hormiguitas del Mercado Mayorista de Riobamba 2012.

Abstract

Research with no-experimental design, transversal type, was applied to the boys and girls lesser than 5 years of the “Las Hormiguitas” CIBV of the Riobamba Mercado Mayorista. Here 49 boys and girls participated to determine the changeability in the Nutritional State signosis. Different models of anthropometric reference in children lesser than 5 years such as the following variables biological characteristics, anthropometric measures and indexes trough the application of a data sheet were employed. The population with the largest percentage was the female one with the 55, 10%. On evaluating the children’s nutritional state according to P//T, the 44,89% (OMS), 67,34% (NCHS) are in the rank of normality; emaciation and/or DAM, the 4% (OMS), the 2% (NCHS); overweight, the 34,69% (OMS), the 25,63% (NCHS); obesity, the 16,32% (OMS), the 4,1% (NCHS); according to the indicator T//E, the 48,98% (OMS), the 53,1% (NCHS); RC and/or DCM, the 26,53% (OMS), the 20,4% (NCHS); RSC and/or RSC the 22,44% (OMS), the 24,5% (NCHS). When comparing the values of the OMS and those of the NCHS P//T, the 22,45% is normal; the 2% emaciation (OMS) and /or DAM (NCHS), the 8,16%, overweight; and the 12,22%, obesity. The reference values of the NCHS captures more to boys and girls in the normality rank and the OMS captures more boys and girls with overweight and obesity; T//E, the 4,12% normal; the 6,13%, RC (OMS) and /or DCM (NCHS), the 2,06% RSC (OMS) and /or DCG (NCHS). The OMS referential values catch more boys and girls with growing delay an moderate chronic desnutrition and de NCHS catch both normal boys and girls.
