RESUMO:

Background: The decline in child stunting, still prevalent in socioeconomically vulnerable population groups, has been accompanied by the progressive increase in overweight and chronic noncommunicable diseases, resulting in a double burden of malnutrition (DBM) scenario in many developing countries. Objective: To measure the double burden of malnutrition and its socioeconomic determinants in children beneficiaries of a conditional cash transfer program in Brazilian municipalities. Methods: An ecological study using panel data on the prevalence of stunting and overweight in under 5-year-old children beneficiaries of the Bolsa Família Program in 4,443 Brazilian municipalities between 2008 and 2014. The municipalities were classified according to four scenarios of coexistence between stunting and overweight, including the DBM. Multinomial logistic regression models with fixed effects was conducted to assess the association between socioeconomic variables and the nutritional scenarios. Results: Mean reduction from 14.2% to 12.7% in the prevalence of stunting and mean increase from 17.2% to 18.4% in the prevalence of overweight were observed. The predominant nutritional scenarios in most municipalities were represented mainly by high rates of overweight and DBM, both associated to the progressive increase of GDP per capita. Expected years of schooling, unemployment rate, and household crowding were also associated with the scenarios analyzed. Conclusions: Our findings evidence an advanced stage of nutritional transition among children in the more socioeconomically vulnerable stratum of the Brazilian population, which is marked by an increase in the burden of overweight only or coexisting with stunting (double burden).
