Background: The elaboration of growth and development curves applicable to children of a community is an excellent tool to ensure adequate monitoring of growth.
Materials Methods: Cross sectional study with 640 normal children monitored in consultation between 2005 and 2010 in ASSBASALUD ESE (Manizales, Colombia). Measurements of weight, height, and head circumference were taken from their stories at birth, at 24, 48 and 60 months. Based on these data the parameters of the distributions by gender for weight, length and head circumference for each age were found. Additionally, for each case were found percentiles. Results: The parameters for each distribution of weight, length and head circumference
for boys and girls at birth and at 24, 48, and 60 months were presented. Growth curves are presented for weight in children. Comparisons are made with 4 studies: the World Health Organization, the CDC (Centers of diseases Control), and two Spanish studies. Conclusions: Although these growth curves can not be generalized to the entire Colombian population, due to the limited representativeness of the sample relative to the
population of the nation, it can be inferred that international studies are not mentioned fully applicable to the population served in ASSBASALUD ESE, and it is urgent to undertake studies on this issue in local, regional, and national levels.
