This study aims at identifying the nutritional situation of children aged between six and sixty months. Two methodologies were used to determine the children's nutritional status: Waterloo criteria and the weight/age curve on the Child's Card. The prevalence of nutritional problems was of 42.9%, according to Waterloo criteria, and 35.6% when the weight/age curve was used. Educational actions are proposed so that the family may adopt behaviors and life styles aiming at reducing the risks on the child's growth and development Descriptors: nutritional assessment; malnutrition; child
