Introduction: Obesity is becoming more and more frequent in children, which can result in health problems both in childhood and in adulthood. Considering that, at school age, eating habits may be influenced by the context in which the child is inserted, mainly, lifestyle, inside and outside the school environment, it is important to evaluate the growth achieved in height, as well as their nutritional status, since this can be an indication of future and possible nutritional disorders, allowing to direct resources and effective public policies in this age group. Objective: Evaluate the growth in stature and nutritional condition of schoolchildren by gender and age in Florianopolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil, in the first semester of the 2012 school year. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 595 children of six to ten years of age, through the marketing of Public Municipal Elementary Schools, in the city of Florianópolis, State of Santa Catarina, Brazil. The statistical analysis of the data was performed with the Statistical Package for the Social Science, version 20.0. Results: It was assessed a larger proportion of children between seven and nine years of age, and both in relation to the stature as the Body Mass Index (BMI). The medians are higher when compared to the reference (World Health Organization), revealing that the children are growing well, even above the average for the benchmark. However, at the same time, they have a BMI higher than expected, even considering their high stature. The diagnosis of nutritional status among the boys and girls showed no statistical differences. However, it is worth highlighting that, although the bigger prevalence is eutrophic children (70.3%), a high prevalence of excess weight (overweight, obesity and severe obesity) can also be observed, around 28% of the sample. Conclusions: Although most children were found to be in normal nutritional condition, some were identified as being overweight or obese. It was evident that nutritional condition does not differ in relation to gender, but is influenced by age and height.

Introdução: A desnutrição infantil ainda é um problema que acomete várias regiões do Brasil. Em localidades mais desenvolvidas ainda há casos de crianças em idade escolar em vulnerabilidade social e insegurança alimentar. Objetivo: Investigar a prevalência de desnutrição e o comportamento alimentar em estudantes de uma escola municipal na cidade de Joinville/SC. Materiais e métodos: A pesquisa abrangeu crianças de 7 a 10 anos de idade, de ambos os sexos, matriculadas em uma escola municipal no período matutino. Os dados coletados foram peso, estatura, idade e para classificação do estado nutricional foram aplicadas as curvas de crescimento da OMS do ano de 2007, de IMC para idade, peso para idade e estatura para idade e para análise do consumo alimentar o questionário QUADA. Resultados: Participaram da pesquisa 101 crianças, com média de idade de 8,52 sendo 58,4% do sexo feminino e 41,6% do sexo masculino. Dentre estas, 1% apresentou IMC abaixo para idade, 5% peso abaixo para idade e 3% estatura inadequada para idade. Em relação ao consumo alimentar, o maior percentual de adequação conforme as porções recomendadas pela Pirâmide Alimentar Infantil Brasileira, esteve no grupo de carnes e ovos atingindo 56,4%. Conclusão: Existem casos de desnutrição em grandes centros urbanos, em quantidade diminuída. Estudos como este, demonstram grande importância para o reconhecimento da transição nutricional, visualizando a classificação nutricional e a qualidade dos alimentos consumidos pelas crianças nos dias de hoje.
