- Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the physical development of infants in the context of primary health care level. Method: a cross-sectional, descriptive and quantitative study, carried out in primary health care units in three cities in the Massif de Baturité-CE region: Acarape, Redenção and Itapiúna. The sample consisted of infants followed in health units according to the demand presented. The collection took place between March and April 2018 through data on the general and anthropometric characterization of the infant, assessment of motor development, based on the Denver II development test and analysis of primitive reflexes. Data were grouped in Excel spreadsheets and compiled using SPSS version 20.0 software. Results: Seventy-five infants participated in the study. A percentage of 60% of the infants were male, with an average of 7.7 months of age. In the anthropometric evaluation of the z-scores, the BMI / age ratio presented a higher percentage of inadequacy (66.7%), and was mostly higher than expected. In the assessment of motor development, there was a risk of delay in 13.3% of infants (4% in fine engine and 9.3% in coarse engine). In the evaluation of reflexes, most of the infants (85.3%) were present as expected for their age. Conclusions: a profile of children with overweight is noted. Few changes in motor development and reflexes were found, pointing to a possible and adequate stimulation of those responsible and correct guidance of health professionals.
