本研究的目的是调查巴西30-59月龄儿童非营养性吸吮习惯和前开咬的患病率及其主要原因（相关因素）。在全国脊髓灰质炎免疫日期间，在巴西东北部地区累西腓市进行了一项横断面研究。样本由1308名儿童组成。数据收集自对母亲或监护人的访谈以及以前受过培训的牙科学生进行的临床检查。统计学分析采用卡方检验，显著性水平为5%。非营养性吸吮习惯患病率为40%，与性别（p=0.001）、年龄（p=0.003）和喂养方式（p<0.001）相关。前牙开咬发生率为30.4%，与喂养方式（p<0.001）和非营养性吸吮习惯（p<0.001）相关。在本研究中发现的与发生非营养性吸吮习惯和前牙开咬相关的变量强调需要制定战略，包括基于“共同决定因素”方法的健康促进方向。应采取公共卫生政策，鼓励延长母乳喂养时间，从而有助于减少非营养性吸吮习惯和前开咬的流行。
The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of non-nutritive sucking habits and anterior open bite as well as their main causes (associated factors) in Brazilian children aged 30-59 months. A cross-sectional study was carried out during the National Immunization Day for polio in the city of Recife in the northeastern region of Brazil. The sample was made up of 1,308 children. Data were collected from interviews with mothers or guardians as well as from clinical examinations carried out by previously trained dental students. The chi-square test was used for statistical analysis at 5% significance level. The prevalence of non-nutritive sucking habits was 40%, and the habits were associated with gender (p=0.001), age (p=0.003) and feeding type (p<0.001). Anterior open bite was detected in 30.4% of children, and it was significantly associated with feeding type (p<0.001) and non-nutritive sucking habits (p<0.001). The variables found to be associated factors in the present study for the occurrence of non-nutritive sucking habits and anterior open bite emphasize the need to establish strategies that include orientation regarding health promotion based on the “common determining factors” approach. Public health policies should be adopted to encourage a longer duration of breastfeeding, thereby contributing towards reducing the prevalence of non-nutritive sucking habits and anterior open bite.
