Methods An analytical cross-sectional study was carried out in the municipality of Embu, Southeastern Brazil. The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test and analysis of factors associated with children’s performance were applied. The sample consisted of 201 children of both genders, aged between two and six years. Statistical analysis was performed using multivariate analysis and logistic regression model. The dependent variable analyzed was test performance and the independent variables were child’s age, mother’s level of education and family socio-demographic characteristics. Results It was observed that 44.3% of the children had performances in the test that were below what would be expected for their age. The factors associated with the best performances in the test were child’s age (OR=2.4; 95% CI: 1.6-3.5) and mother’s education level (OR= 3.2; 95% CI: 1.3-7.4). Conclusions Mother’s education level is important for child’s language development. Settings such as childcare and kindergarten schools are protective factors for child development in families of low income and education. 2005 artículo científico 0034-8910 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=67240149005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=672 Revista de Saúde Pública application/pdf Universidade de São Paulo Revista de Saúde Pública (Brasil) Num.5 Vol.39 |
