Resumen:
Human growth and its resulting patterns display a great inter and intra population heterogeneity that reflects the quality of life, health and nutritional condition of populations. The aim of this work was to deepen the knowledge about Jujenean children?s growth by statistical procedures that graphically synthesize the relation between anthropometric variables to age and allow their comparison with specific references. Anthropometric data came from 9092 children (0 to 5 years) from localities of Jujuy province (northwest Argentina) located at 1200 meters above sea level (m.a.s.l.). The centiles of weight for age (W/A) and height for age
