Se seleccion車 una muestra de 100 ni os y se clasificaron en casos (n = 50) los pret谷rminos tratados con el m谷todo piel a piel y en controles (n = 50) un grupo de reci谷n nacidos a t谷rmino; se les aplic車 el test de Ravens donde se les evalu車 el cociente de inteligencia y se les realizaron mediciones antropom谷tricas (peso y talla) para valorarles el desarrollo f赤sico. A las madres se les aplic車 un formulario para relacionar algunos factores sociopsicol車gicos y ambientales que pudieran influir en estas variables. Se realiz車 un procesamiento estad赤stico con la utilizaci車n de la media porcentual y la prueba de independencia entre variables con un nivel de significaci車n de p < 0,05. Se hall車 que no exist赤an diferencias significativas entre el desarrollo f赤sico y los resultados del test de Ravens entre ambos grupos; la estabilidad marital de los padres constituy車 una variable sociopsicol車gica que presentaba asociaci車n significativa con el desarrollo intelectual de los pret谷rminos a la edad preescolar. To evaluate the physical and intellectual development of children treated by Kangaroo mother care method at 6 years of age, a prospective analytical case-control study was carried out in "Abel Santamar赤a" general university hospital in Pinar del Rio province from March 2001 to March 2002. The sample was composed by 100 children of whom 50 preterm infants treated by Kangaroo mother care method were taken as cases and the other 50 were term newborns taken as controls; all of them were applied Ravens∩test to evaluate their intelligence quotient and anthropometric measurements (weight and height) to assess their physical development. A form was administered to the mothers so as to relate some socio-psychological and environmental factors that may influence these variables. All data was statistically processed by using percentage mean and the independence test among variables, with a level of significance of p < 0,05. No significant differences were found between the physical development and the results of Ravens∩test between both groups but the marital stability of parents represented a socio-psychological variable having a significant association with the intellectual development of preterm children at preschool age. %K DESARROLLO INFANTIL %K PREMATURO %K NUTRICION %K LACTANCIA MATERNA %K ESTUDIOS PROSPECTIVOS %K CHILD DEVELOPMENT %K INFANT %K PREMATUR %K NUTRITION %K BREAST FEEDING %K PROSPECTIVE STUDIES %U http://scielo.sld.cu/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0034-75312003000300003
