When WHO standards are applied, overweight and chronic malnutrition are more easily detected, than with NCHS'; furthermore, the prevalence rate of general malnutrition decreases beginning at 6 months age, while the overall chronic malnutrition prevalence increases. These new standards constitute an appropriate tool for assessing growth and establishing more objective values for malnutrition prevalence. The Antioquía department should establish policies for health, food, and nutrition that will improve the nutritional status of its children
