Introduction: The enteral diet (ED) for pediatric nutrition should ensure the appropriate nutritional intake for the child and/or adolescent. Therefore, during the selection of ED, in addition to the patient’s needs, the characteristics and nutritional composition of the patients should be taken into account. Thus, the objective was to identify and characterize the diets for pediatric enteral nutrition, in a closed system, currently available in the Brazilian market, in order to assist nutritionists and doctors in prescription. Methods: The descriptive and documental research consisted in the identification of the diets for pediatric enteral nutrition, in a closed system, currently available in the Brazilian market and characterization of the diets, based on labeling data. The data of interest for the development of this study were collected in catalogs and official websites of the manufacturers and suppliers and books of enteral nutrition and nutrition in pediatrics. Results: In Brazil, nine pediatric enteral nutrition diets are available in a closed system, marketed by three manufacturers. It was found that the diets for pediatric enteral nutrition can be indicated for a wide age range, from one to 10 years and patients in different pathophysiological states. There is little variation in the levels and sources of macronutrients. Four enteral diets present fibers in their composition and 5 are hypotonic. Conclusions: The Brazilian market has a limited number of diets for pediatric enteral nutrition in a closed system, which makes prescribing a challenge for nutritionists and doctors. It can not be said that a particular pediatric enteral diet in closed system is better than another, each one has specific characteristics. This makes it necessary for to carefully evaluate the professionals adequacy of the diet to the patient’s clinical situation and individuality.

The data presented in this paper are part of the ongoing pediatric nutrition surveillance in ten primary health centers from Riyadh City. A total of 21,507 infants and children under five were included. The mean birth weight was 3027g, and 8.6% of the children had low birth weights. The measurements showed that there had been no obvious change in the weights and heights of children during the past 13 years. In our results the children classified as moderate and severely underweight were 4.5% and 0.8% respectively. The data showed the average growth of all infants, regardless of feeding pattern, was same or faster than the NCHS reference population, up to approximately six months of age after which their growth became slower than that of the NCHS standards. The prevalence of malnutrition in Saudi Arabia is moderately high, in spite of the high per capita income, and the fact that the government subsidizes locally produced and imported food items. The malnutrition among this age group may be attributed to reproductive or social behavior and genetic factors. The reduction of malnutrition in the last ten years could be largely due to the nutrition and health education programs. There is a need for more comprehensive nutritional health education among the local population.
