Objective: To know the prevalence of breastfeeding and the nutritional status of pre term babies assisted at a nutritionist's office. Method: Cross-sectional study with sample of 52 children. The data were entered and processed in the SPSS software, 17,0. The Chi-square and Fischer's exact tests were used for association analysis. Results: 46% of the babies under six months were receiving exclusive breastfeeding; 38,6% were being breastfed and 15.4% had been weaned. As for the nutritional status, the indexes for weight/age and height/age showed that most of the babies were eutrophic, 84% and 92%, respectively; the weight/height ratio points to overweight and obesity risk (56%), in contrast with underweight (22%); the BMI/age ratio points to overweight and obesity risk (52%) and underweight (20%). Conclusion: The results show higher prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding when compared to other studies, which is probably related to actions taken towards this service.

Objective: To evaluate industrialized food consumption by children under 2 years old attended at a nutritionist's office. Method: Quantitative descriptive study, conducted in a municipal maternity hospital. The sample was composed of 175 children. The instrument used for collecting data was a structured 24-hour recall questionnaire on the children's food intake. The data were processed by using the SPSS software, 17,0, and the graphs were drawn in Excel. Results: The consumption of industrialized food starts early in life, between 4 and 6 months of age, with foods such as yoghurt (25,75%) and processed soup (6,06%) and increases with age, up to 20% for industrialized coffee and soup; 76,47% for yoghurt; 32% for instant noodles and 24% for coffee, when the child is over 12 months. Conclusion: The results show the need to prioritize nutritional education actions towards this context.

Este estudo tem por objetivo analisar a tendência temporal da mortalidade materna e descrever as características sociodemográficas e causas de morte nas macrorregiões do Piauí. Tratou-se de um estudo ecológico de série temporal, com dados do Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade, de 2006 a 2021, analisados utilizando regressão de Prais-Winsten. As razões de mortalidade materna foram calculadas para o estado, macrorregiões por quadriênios. Identificaram-se 666 óbitos maternos e 781.074 nascidos vivos. Os óbitos ocorreram em negras (81,1%), com 20 a 39 anos (78,5%), com companheiro (45,4%), menos de 8 anos de estudo (43,7 %), ocupação remunerada (39,5%), tendo como causas: síndromes hipertensivas (26,2%), hemorragias (10,9%), infecções (10,8%), aborto (4,2%), COVID-19 (3,8%). A razão de mortalidade materna do estado, no período, foi de 85,3 por 100.000 nascidos vivos com tendência estacionária (variação percentual anual (VPA): 0,03; IC 95%: -2,1; 2,2). Apresentaram tendência ascendente as macrorregiões do Semiárido (VPA: 31,6; IC 95%: 9,7; 57,8) no período de 2006 a 2009, Meio Norte (VPA: 9,8; IC 95%: 1,2; 19,5) e Cerrados (VPA: 25,9; IC 95%: 1,6; 56,0), entre 2018 a 2021. Concluímos, pois, que as mortes ocorreram principalmente em negras, com menos escolaridade, de causas evitáveis. A razão de mortalidade materna no estado foi alta com tendência estacionária.
