MARCO, Leandro et al. Epidemiological Observatory for Malnutrition: Notes about an Experience. Cienc. docencia tecnol. [online]. 2006, n.32, pp.253-277. ISSN 1851-1716.
Malnutrition represents for the field of Health Sciences, a central concern that requires going deeper into the complexity of such phenomenon within a critical social framework. In this paper about the Epidemiological Observatory on Malnutrition (Health for Everyone Program), the nutritional conditions of people from 0 to 14 years old are described and analyzed, in districts under a socioenvironmental risk in the city of Concepción del Uruguay (Argentina), in December 2003, as well as their structural life conditions, testing classical hypotheses about the problem of malnutrition. Family resilience and the role of school and community cafeterias are highlighted as factors to be studied in the future. Knowledge production aims at developing dissemination and awareness strategies for the society and actors directly involved in this problem, as well as establishing the bases to innovate intervention projects.
