National Nutrition and Health Survey

Abstract

Introduction: A national study with provincial representativeness has never been carried out in Argentina describing the nutritional status of the maternal child population. However, the information produced by various studies, albeit fragmentary or partial on land or ethnic groups, coincides with overweight, growth lag, low birth weight and anaemia as the main nutritional problems of the country’s maternal population. This presumption has never been supported by information obtained from probabilistic samples representing the whole population. On this basis, the Ministry of Health decided to carry out the National Nutrition and Health Survey. Design: Descriptive, cross-sectional, with independent samples of urban population groups (children aged 6 to 72 months; women aged 10-49; pregnant women) with multi-ethatic sampling by conglomerates of independent provincial samples; regional and national. Objective: Describe the nutritional status of children aged 6 to 72 months, women of childbearing age and pregnant women. Subject matters: Socio-economic and demographic, anthropometry, dietary intake, biochemistry, sexual and reproductive health, morbidity, habits.
