SUMMARY:
This research aimed to evaluate the effect of birth weight on anthropometry, body composition and nutritional status of children aged 7 to 10 years who had or did not have low birth weight residing in the District of Boane in the Province of Maputo/Mozambique. Cross-sectional field research carried out with students of both sexes, between 7 and 10 years old, enrolled in schools in the district of Boane, located in the southeast of Maputo Province. The groups were formed based on the birth weight of the exposed group (low birth weight, LBW, n=41) and the unexposed group (normal birth weight, PNN, n=179). Birth weight was obtained from the child's weight card. The following variables were obtained/evaluated: body weight and height; body mass index (BMI); subcutaneous adiposity folds (biceps, triceps, subscapular, suprailiac, calf); body fat percentage, lean mass, fat mass; hip and waist circumference, head circumference, arm circumference. For statistical analysis, the SPSS for Windows software, version 21.0, was used. The interaction between sex and age with birth weight was assessed by Two-way ANOVA. As no interactions were found, the data were analyzed as a single group (boys and girls together and all ages). To analyze the differences between the LBW and PNN groups, the student’s t-test for independent samples was used. The results were adjusted for different covariates: age, sex, height, body weight, BMI, body composition (lean body mass and fat mass) through analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) considering, age, gender, height, adiposity index. In all analyses, the significance level of 5% was used. The results indicated that there was a difference between the LBW and PNN groups in relation to the variables weight, height, skinfolds (except for biceps, BMI, lean mass and fat mass. When the means were adjusted for different covariates (gender, age and age gestational age), only the triceps skinfold and calf skinfold remained different when LBW was compared to PNN. Birth weight was positively correlated with the following variables: weight, height, BMI and lean mass. Children with LBW had lower height and body weight, as well as BMI, although they are within normal WHO standards. Body fat distribution was also affected in LBW children, however, when adjusted for age, sex, weeks of gestation and body size, there was no difference between groups, except for the triceps and calf folds. The results also showed that birth weight is associated, albeit weakly, with weight, height and lean mass. Thus, LBW seems to influence some growth indicators of children living in Boane, however factors Current environmental conditions seem to weaken this association. The results suggest that public policies involving health promotion and the prevention and control of public health problems
can reverse the effects of low weight in children from Boane.
