INTRODUCTION: The aim of this research was the carrying out of a nutrition assessment of a group of children aged from 10 to 14 months, in Ciudad de la Habana. METHODS: Variables analyzed included decimal age, weight, supine length and energy and macronutrients consumption. Anthropometric rates for age-weight, age-height and height-weight were compared with reference national and international values. Dietetic surveys were analyzed in CERES program. RESULTS: Most of subjects were normal for the three anthropometric rates, and although girls had a slight trend to obesity, there were not significant differences between both sexes. The 87,5% showed an excessive consumption of proteins and contribution of macronutrients to energy was unstable. CONCLUSIONS: Was proved that most of children are normal from the anthropometric point of view, and that there is an inappropriate dietetic pattern.
