Perfil nutricional de gestantes adolescentes e adultas em assistência pré-natal em uma Unidade Básica de Saúde de Cuiabá-MT

Abstract

The nutritional assessment status and prenatal care during pregnancy are recommended by the Brazilian health care organizations in primary care and was the objective of this study in pregnant adolescents and adults seen at a Basic Health Unit (BHU) of Health Family Program in Cuiabá city. This was a descriptive cross-sectional study in which data were collected from medical records of women who began prenatal care in the year of 2013. We conducted the assessment of nutritional status in the three quarters through the BMI, according to gestational age and according to recommendations. To characterize the prenatal care we used the Humanization Program indicators in Prenatal and Birth (HPPB). We used the Epi Info version 7.1.4., Excel and SPSS 23.0 for data processing. It was observed that the high percentage of low birth weight in the first quarter among teenager pregnant, reduced in the course of pregnancy. However, in adult pregnant women the overweight percentage was always greater than the appropriate weight in the three quarters. The percentage of pregnant adolescents and adults who underwent prenatal according to the Brazilian health care organization was appropriate. However, the results showed that when more HPPB indicators are added, there is a significant drop in the proportion of the answerd.
