This work contains a transversal study on 235 children aged between 2 y 14.9 years old. 6% of the total sample were underweight, and 17% were overweight suffered from obesity. We therefore conclude that the paediatrics services should have a more active role in the control and prevention of alterations of the nutritional state.
