Objective: To identify under nutrition’s determinants among children aged less than two years old, living close the rivers of Pará state (Brazil). Methods: Survey was conducted among 203 children form four river’s community: Aveiro (Southeast), Barcarena (Metropolitan), Cametá (Northeast) and Santarém (Low Amazon) by face to face interviews with the responsible for the child. The dependent variable was under nutrition, according to length to age less than -1 z-score following the recent World Health recommendation. Dependent variables were characteristics of household, family leader, child’s mother, pre-natal, family’s food pattern, child’s birth, mother’s care and child’s demography. The prevalence of under nutrition was calculated according to basic, intermediate and immediate indicators considering the distance between variables of the indicators and the outcome. Multilevel analysis was performed by logistic regression taking into account the hierarchy between indicators and under nutrition, according p<0.05. Results: The under nutrition prevalence reached 35.0% of the studied children, varying from 28.6% in Aveiro to 43.1% in Barcarena. The variables associated to under nutrition were low birth weight and aging. The child’s age was the under nutrition predictor: the likelihood of a child aged between 12 and 17 months old to present under nutrition was 3.4 times bigger than a child aged less than six months old, raising to five times for children aged between 18 and 23 months old. Conclusion: At river’s population, the under nutrition among children less than two years old still a severe health nutrition problem, probably because the long exposition time to the environmental risk factors.

The aim of the study is to analyse the prevalence of smoking in the city of Belém-PA along with their associated factors. Secondary data were used from Belem-PA collected in 2007 by the national system of surveillance and risk factors for chronic diseases protection by phone survey (VIGITEL), which monitors the risk factors for chronic diseases protection in 26 Brazilian States capital and in the Federal District. The sample were 2014 individuals with 18 or more years old, which replied to the questions concerning socioeconomic factors, behavioural and state of health and related diseases. The results show that the prevalence of smokers was 14,3% (11,7- 16,9) where 21,1% (16.5-25,6) were men and 8,5% (5,9-11,1) were women. The men presented among their associated factors a ratio of prevalence of 0,58 (0,4- 0,83) for those who have more than 8 years of study and 1,9 (1,26-2,88) for those who consume alcoholic beverage. The women presented as associated factor the abuse of alcohol with a ratio of prevalence of 2,23 (1,15-4,32). We concluded that the prevalence is higher in men than in women and the factors associated would be low school level and the abuse of alcohol for men while that for women it would be only the abuse of alcohol.
