Abstract

This study analyzed data available on the SISVAN Web for the anthropometric profile and food consumption of children under two years old in the Midwest region in the years 2010-2014. For data analysis, it was used measures of frequency and association (X² and prevalence ratio). The results showed increased prevalence of overweight in all states of the region according to BMI / I and W/H. The states of Mato Grosso and Goias presented the highest prevalence. Regard to thinness based on W/H, prevalence of oscillations was realized in all states over the years, with the highest prevalences which were found in the Federal District. In relation to stunting, assessed by H/A, realized higher prevalence in Goias and Mato Grosso. In terms of total breastfeeding among children under six months, there was difference between all states, and the Federal District presented the highest prevalence. It was evaluated the dietary consumption of children aged 6 to 12 months, and it was observed that the highest prevalence rates were the consumption of vegetables, fruits, meat and beans. Despite high, none of these prevalence rates reached 100%. Whereas the consumer should be done by all children over 6 months, these prevalence rates are below recommended. The prevalence of drinking milk, milk with flour, food / sugary preparations, although smaller, were important to this age group, the consumption of these can affect the quality of food and contribute to the formation of unhealthy eating habits.
