Resumo
Este estudo teve como objetivo verificar a relação entre diferentes níveis de plumbemia e o repertório de habilidades sociais, problemas de comportamento e competência acadêmica de crianças e adolescentes. Participaram 155 crianças e adolescentes, com idade média de 13,10 anos, pertencentes a três grupos: alta plumbemia (superior a 10μg/dl), baixa plumbemia (inferior a 5μg/dl) e que viviam em ambiente similar, mas livre da contaminação por chumbo (grupo de comparação). Foram utilizados os instrumentos SSRS-BR e o IHSA-Del-Prette, respondidos pelos participantes e seus professores. Identificou-se comprometimento no repertório comportamental, acadêmico e social, associado ao nível de plumbemia. Esses resultados evidenciam os riscos associados à exposição ao chumbo. São discutidas explicações para alguns resultados contraditórios, levantando-se hipóteses e questões para novos estudos.
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between varying levels of lead poisoning and social skills repertoire, frequency of behavior problems and academic competence in children and adolescents. Participants were 155 children and adolescents, with an average age of 13.10 years, who belonged to three groups: high blood lead levels (over 10μg/dl), low blood lead levels (less 5μg/dl) and children who lived in a similar, but lead-free environment (comparison group). We used the Social Skills Rating System - Brazilian version (SSRS-BR) and the Social Skills Inventory for Adolescents (IHSA-Del-Prette) which were answered by the children and their teachers. Impairment in children’s behavioral, academic and social repertoire was associated with blood lead levels. These results show the risks associated to lead exposure. Explanations are discussed for some contradictory results, rising hypotheses and questions for further studies.
