Knowing the nutritional profile of children up to 60 months of age is essential to diagnose nutritional disorders. The benchmarks CDC/2000 and OMS/2005 are used to measure children's nutritional status. Our goal was to compare results of the evaluation of children 24 to 60 months of age from a Children's Education Center, using as references CDC (2000) and WHO (2005). We assessed sex, age, weight and height or length, and determined the percentiles and the classification of nutritional status for each benchmark. Statistical analysis was obtained for the reference values for each curve, given the statistical summaries and t test comparison of means. We observed a higher percentage of overweight (13.4%) and obesity (14.3%) with the curves of the CDC / OMS/2005, when compared to 2000, 18.7% overweight. There was no significant difference between the average of reference values obtained by CDC/2000 and second grades OMS/2005 for children of both sexes. Considering the above, we show that the curve CDC/2000 can detect children with nutritional disorders related to the curves of OMS/2005, although the comparison between the curves has not shown significant differences between the two standards.
