Original Article Nutritional State of Mexican Children Younger Than Five Years from Mennonite Community, Mestiza Population of Urban and the Rural Areas from Durango, Mexico 墨西哥杜蘭戈州城市和農村地區麥斯蒂索人門諾社區5歲以下兒童的營養狀況 Abstract Introduction: Malnutrition is a public health problem in children younger than five years in developing countries. The diagnosis and monitoring of the nutritional conditions of children constitute a practical form of evaluating health conditions. Objectives: To determine the nutritional state of children younger than five years in three communities and to know if there are ethnic differences among these children. Methods: The indicators weight/age; height/age; and weight/height were determined. An analysis of Kruskal-Wallis variance was carried out. Results: The Mennonites had the highest percentage of overweight/obesity. The rural children were eutrophic and with lower percentage of malnutrition. The urban children showed a higher percentage of malnutrition based on the indicators of weight/age. Conclusion: Differences with respect to access to food and ignorance on correct diet, are factors that have led to insufficient, incorrect, and disordered food nutrients that entail excess and disequilibrium in the diet reflected in the nutritional alterations found in this study. 引言：營養不良是發展中國家5歲以下兒童的公共衛生問題。兒童營養狀況的診斷和監測是評估健康狀況的一種實用方式。目標：檢測三個社區中五歲以下兒童的營養狀況，並瞭解這些兒童中是否存在種族差異。方法：分析身高/年齡、體重／年齡和體量／高度三個指標，進行Kruskal-Wallis差異分析。結果：門諾社區兒童出現超重／肥胖情況的百分比最高。農村兒童營養充足，營養不良比例較低。根據體重／年齡指標，城市兒童的營養不良比例較高。結論：食物獲取和對正確飲食認識的差異是導致兒童營養不足、進食無益的食物以及造成不良飲食習慣的重要因素，本研究更指出兒童營養變化所反映的飲食過量和不平衡。 Keyword : Children under five; Mennonites; Nutritional state; Rural and urban children 關鍵詞：營養狀態、農村和城市兒童、五歲以下兒童、門諾社區
