Indicadores de la desnutrición crónica entre niños de 0 a 24 meses en el Sudeste Asiático: Una revisión del alcance

Autoría SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

RESUMEN

Objetivo:

Identificar indicadores de desnutrición crónica entre niños de 0 a 24 meses en el Sudeste Asiático.

Métodos:

Esta revisión de alcance se centró en artículos con diseño de estudio observacional publicados en inglés, entre los años 2012 y 2023 de cinco bases de datos internacionales. Las principales palabras clave utilizadas fueron: “stunting (Desnutrición crónica)” o “growth disorder (Desorden del crecimiento)”, y “newborn (Recién nacido)”, y “predict (Predecir)”, y “Southeast Asia (Sudeste Asiático)”.

Resultados:

De los 27 artículos seleccionados para el análisis final, se encontraron trece indicadores que influyen en la desnutrición crónica en siete países del Sudeste Asiático. Los trece indicadores incluyen el niño, la madre, el hogar, la alimentación inadequada complementaria, la lactancia materna inadecuada, la atención inadecuada, los alimentos de mala calidad, la seguridad de los alimentos y el agua, la infección, la economía política, la salud y la asistencia sanitaria, el agua, el saneamiento y el medio ambiente, y por último el factor sociocultural.

Conclusión:

Todos estos indicadores pueden provocar desnutrición crónica en niños del Sudeste Asiático. Para poder prevenirlo los prestadores de servicios de salud y otros sectores relacionados, necesitan realizar actividades de promoción y prevención de la salud de acuerdo con los indicadores encontrados en este artículo.
