VIDAILLET CALVO, Elena Cristina; RODRIGUEZ ARIAS, Griselda  y  CARNOT PEREIRA, Jorge. Antropometría en la evaluación nutricional de adolescentes del sexo femenino. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 2002, vol.74, n.1, pp.23-32. ISSN 0034-7531.

An anthropometric study of 197 children from the City of Havana was conducted following the International Biological Programs standards. Weight, size, tricipital and subescapular falfolds and body dimensions values were taken. The anthropometric indexes were fatty area of the arm, energy/protein index, body mass index and muscle area of the arm. They were classified in percentiles according to Cuban standards for individuals aged up to 19 years. The average value, the standard deviation and median per age was estimated and also indicators for evaluating the nutritional status of the sample were found. Data were automatically processed and statistical significance test was applied. It was found that most of the sample was placed on the right of percentiles 4 and 5 for every estimation whereas the highest percentage of obesity was Amador´s cut point.
