Association between family poverty and the neuropsychomotor development of children in the administrative districts of Belém
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-09) COSTA, Elson Ferreira; CAVALCANTE, Lília Iêda Chaves; SILVA, Mariane Lopes da; GUERREIRO, Talitha Buenaño França
Introduction: Childhood development represents a sequence of changes in behavior and underlying processes, inϐluenced by biological and environmental factors. Screening and monitoring of neurodevelopment show effective procedures for early identiϐication of different disorders of childhood development. Objective: To analyze the neurodevelopment, using the Denver Developmental Screening Test II, of children enrolled in preschools of Administrative Districts in Belém and to map the districts and the percentage of development evaluated as normal and suspected delay. Methods: This was a cross-sectional and exploratory descriptive study. A questionnaire was administered to parents to collect the personal, contextual and family data and an instrument to measure the level of family poverty. Results: Of the 319 children assessed, 77.7% showed a suspected delay in neuropsychomotor developmental and 59.2% in language. The family poverty level variable showed a statistically signiϐicant association with the overall level of development (p = .011) and of language (p = .003). Conclusion: It is hoped that this study will contribute to generate an impact in improving the ecological conditions of children and their families, reducing the risks to which they are exposed.

A cohort of 100 births was generated during november and december of 2000 in Porto Velho city. Mothers and her newborns had been examined to verify total mercury levels (TML) at the birth, and the course of posnatal exposure on development and growth of infants during the first semester of their extrauterine life. To evaluation of prenatal exposure TML at the birth in samples of maternal and newborns hair, placenta, umbilical coord, and maternal blood had been analyzed. The newborns underwent physical and clinical examination. Mothers answered a questionnare that included important infonnations about risk factors to mercury accumulation or that could affect the development and growth of her childrens. At six months of age, 86 of the infants underwent detailed phisical and neurobehavioral examination, to evaluate the postnatal exposure. Besides a new sample of infants hair had been analyzed to verify TML. All data had been analyzed, compared, and underwent statistical evaluation. 23 infants (26%) showed neurological developmental disturbance at six months of age. This had been correlated with TML in children hair as at birth as at 6 months of age. A statistically significant correlation was observed between the head circumference and TML' s in the several analyzed samples.

Exposição ao mercúrio e desenvolvimento motor de crianças quilombolas na região do Baixo Amazonas

In the Amazon region, exposure to mercury (Hg) can be considered as chronic, with the main study areas located in areas with a history of gold mining activities, one of the sources of this metal. Recently it has been assigned the release from biomass and soil during the burning of forest and ferralsols with significant amounts of Hg. The confirmation of the presence of Hg in humans and fish and the consequences of this metal’s exposure, as documented in the literature, lead to concern about the health of the exposed population. The quilombolas, one of the traditional populations of the lower Amazon region, have a strong bond to the environment occupied by them, and also have the fish as a diet option and as their livelihood, which raises on them the possibility of Hg’s exposure, reason for increase them in this research, that aimed to evaluate the mercury’s exposure of children and the interference on quilombolas motor development. 279 children participated in the study, inhabitants in nine communities itemized as lowland areas (Saracura, Arapemã, Nova Vista do Ituqui, São José and São Raimundo do Ituqui) and plateau (Bom Jardim, Tiningu, Murumuru, Murumurutuba). Evaluation of capillary samples showed total mercury values (THg) 0,03 to 14,94 μg/g, with the lowland’s children presenting a higher Hg exposure, comparing with children from the plateau region (p-value=0,011). A statistically significant correlation of THg values with age (p-value=0,010) and males (p-value =0,001) was identified. The frequency of diet based on fish, high in the communities, showed statistical correlation with THg levels of children. The investigation of motor development, conducted by Motor Development Scale (MDS) proposed by Rosa Neto (2002), showed no statistically average difference in the results for the General Motor Quotient (GMQ) between children from the control group, with THg below 2μg/g, and research group, with THg above 2μg/g. Considering the motricity evaluation, It was observed a statistically significant difference: A normal high result for motricity among the groups (p-value <0,001), with the control group showing better results; At the normal high results of body schema (p-value=0,034), with the control group showing the best results; At the result very bottom for time organization (p-value=0,004) for the study group and normal low result, with higher frequency in the control group (p-value=0,003). In relation to anthropometric measurements, It was found that there was statistical difference in weight results in the study group (p-value=0,012) and children with short stature (p-value=0,001), with worse results of MDS. Considering the investigation of intestinal parasites, anemia and socioeconomic classification, other interfering likely child development in this population, revealed statistically significant differences of EDM to the occurrence of anemia only (p-value=0,041). The quilombolas children are exposed to Hg, although do not live near mining areas. The orientation on conscious based diet on fish was performed, however, this population should be monitored, as Hg may continue to progressively affecting their development.
