“…13 Os índices antropométricos habitualmente utilizados são: Peso para Idade (P/I), Estatura para Idade (E/I), Peso para Estatura (P/E), Perímetro cefálico para Idade (PC/I); comparados a partir de afastamentos em relação à mediana em unidades de desvio padrão representados pelo escore Z ou proporção de adequação, representados pelos percentis. 14 A avaliação do estado nutricional a partir do percentil é representada através das curvas de crescimento, representação gráfica na qual o cruzamento de duas variáveis mostra o ponto na curva que identifica em qual percentil a criança está inserida. Esse método é utilizado pelas equipes de saúde na avaliação e acompanhamento das crianças sob sua responsabilidade.…”
