Data are n (%) of children studied. No significant difference (p > 0.05) related with these variables was observed. Data were analysed using χ2 or Fisher’s exact test (two-tailed, 95% confidence intervals) when the size sample was less than 5 (Epi Info™ 7.1.4.0, CDC Atlanta, GA, USA). The significance of the difference for the ages was calculated by Student’s test. The scale used for the Graffar socioeconomic level was based in a modified methodology described by Méndez Castellano et al. [32]
