Abstract in Portuguese
Estudos experimentais e clínicos têm confirmado que o metabolismo do zinco encontra-se alterado em indivíduos com Síndrome de Down. O objetivo deste estudo foi, portanto, avaliar por meio de parâmetros bioquímicos e dietéticos o estado de nutrição relativo ao zinco de crianças com Síndrome de Down. A pesquisa foi realizada em um grupo de crianças com Síndrome de Down (n=35) e um grupo controle (n=33), com idade entre 4 e 11 anos. Foram avaliados os índices Peso/Idade, Estatura/Idade e Peso/Estatura e o consumo alimentar pelo método de registro de alimentos de três dias e, a análise das informações nutricionais foi feita por um programa computadorizado. O zinco foi determinado no plasma, nos eritrócitos e na urina/24 horas por espectrofotometria de absorção atômica. Foi também avaliada a concentração de hemoglobina e o volume hematócrito. Os resultados demonstraram que as dietas dos grupos apresentavam-se com elevado teor de proteínas, baixos conteúdos de zinco, distribuição adequada de macronutrientes e eram deficientes em calorias. O estado nutricional do grupo controle em relação ao zinco encontrava-se deficiente, podendo ser atribuído à qualidade da dieta. A freqüência de baixa estatura foi maior nas crianças com Síndrome de Down. As concentrações de zinco no plasma e na urina foram significativamente menores e nos eritrócitos, significativamente maiores para o grupo com Síndrome de Down. Baseados nos dados, conclui-se que os indivíduos com Síndrome de Down apresentaram uma alteração na distribuição de zinco no organismo.

Abstract in English
Experimental and clinical studies have established that zinc metabolism is altered in individuals with Down syndrome. The present work intends to evaluate the nutritional status of zinc in children with Down syndrome by the determination of biochemical and dietetic parameters. The investigation was carried out on a group of children with Down syndrome (n=35), and compared with a control group (n=33), both aging between 4 and 11 years. It were evaluated the indexes Weight/Age, Stature/Age and Weight/Stature and the quantitative food ingestion by a method of three-day food records and the diet information were computer analyzed. Zinc was evaluated in plasma, erythrocyte and 24-hour urine applying atomic absorption spectrometry. The hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit volume was determined. The results showed that diet consumed by both groups had high protein content, a deficit in zinc, adequate distribution of macronutrients and a deficit in calories. The nutritional zinc status of the control group was deficient, which maybe related to the quality of the diet. The frequency of short stature was larger in children with Down syndrome. The zinc concentration in plasma and urine was significantly lower and in erythrocyte, significantly higher in Down syndrome group. The results allowed to conclude that zinc nutritional status in Down syndrome individuals is altered.
