Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To estimate the prevalence of acute diarrheal diseases (ADD) during the two weeks previous to the interview among children <5 years of age and to describe alarm signs and feeding practices of parents and caregivers (PCG) during children's ADD. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Analysis of data from the National Health and Nutrition Surveys 2012 and 2006 and the National Health Survey 2000. RESULTS:ADD prevalence decreased significantly from 2006 (13.1%) to 2012 (11.0%), particularly in the lower socioeconomic status. "Frequent bowel movements" were the main warning sign identified by PCG (66.0%) in contrast to "crying without tears" (4.3%) and "blood in faeces" (0.5%); only 42% PCG reported administering oral rehydration therapy. Factors associated with ADD were child's age <1 year and mother's age <20 years. CONCLUSIONS:It is necessary to reinforce appropriate ADD preventive and treatment practices among PCG of children <5 years of age.
