Resumo: The growth and nutritional status of 185 school-aged children (97 boys and 88 girls) of low socio-economic level in Nova Iguaçú, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, were studied. Nutritional anthropometry identified 3.52 and 6.25% of the children as suffering from wasting and stunting, respectively. These prevalences of malnutrition were comparable to those described in pre-school children living in a "favela" (shanty town) of Rio de Janeiro. In general, the median height fell below the 25th centile of the international standard of growth. The value of 10 year-old boys fell below the 10th centile. The mean values of weight and height of these children were comparable to those of children from the Northeastern region of Brazil ("Nordeste"), higher than those found for children in the State of Paraíba, Brazil, and lower than those for middle-class children of the State of S. Paulo. Skinfold thickness, arm circunference, and arm fat area data were higher in girls than boys. However, arm muscle are values in boys were superior in comparison to those of girls.

A antropometria nutricional identificou 3,52 e 6,25% das crianças como desnutridas recentes e crônicas, respectivamente; valores que se comparam aos descritos para crianças faveladas do Município do Rio de Janeiro. Em geral, as medianas de altura das crianças ficaram abaixo do 25.º centil do padrão internacional de crescimento, sendo que a partir dos 10 anos a mediana da altura dos meninos foi inferior ao 10.º centil. As médias de peso e altura dessas crianças foram comparáveis à do nordeste urbano, superiores à da Paraíba, e inferiores às crianças de classe média de São Paulo. Os valores de 7 dobras cutâneas, do perímetro do braço, e da área de gordura do braço foram superiores nas meninas de todas as faixas etárias. A área muscular do braço foi maior nos meninos do que nas meninas de todas as faixas etárias.Universidade de São Paulo.
