Anthropometric studies to estimate body composition study the morphology and dimensions. This study describes the nutritional situation and body composition of a sample of municipal schools of the municipality of Padre las Casas. We evaluated 122 adolescents of both sexes, 65 men (53.2%) and 57 women (46.7%), between 9 and 12 years old. For body composition was used anthropometric method described by Dhebora Kerr, while evaluation and classification of nutritional status was conducted according to technical rules nutritional Chilean Health Ministry.
