AB  - OBJECTIVE: To estimate the changes in the prevalence of underweight among girls 
      and boys living in Krakow that occurred between 1983 and 2010. DESIGN: The study 
      was based on two cross-sectional surveys conducted in 1983 and 2010. The 
      prevalence of underweight was estimated based on the International Obesity Task 
      Force (IOTF) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cut-off points. 
      SETTING: The study was conducted in Krakow, Poland. PARTICIPANTS: Children aged 
      3-18 years (n 5245). RESULTS: Between 1983 and 2010 the prevalence of underweight 
      decreased in both sexes. Using the IOTF criteria, the prevalence of underweight 
      decreased from 10.5 to 10.3 % in girls and from 8.9 to 7.5 % in boys, but it was 
      still higher in girls than in boys. According to the CDC criteria, this 
      prevalence decreased from 5.1 to 4.4 % and from 5.9 to 4.6 %, respectively, and 
      was slightly lower in girls. According to the IOTF criteria, underweight 
      prevalence increased slightly during childhood in both sexes while according to 
      the CDC criteria it decreased in boys and did not change in girls. Among 
      juveniles and adolescents, it decreased regardless of the method used. 
      CONCLUSIONS: The frequency of underweight in the population of children and 
      adolescents from Krakow changed slightly in 1983 and 2010 despite economic and 
      social changes. Depending on the cut-off points used, not only the magnitude but 
      also the direction of changes between series could be different. In order to aid 
      global monitoring, the prevalence of underweight as well as overweight should 
      always be evaluated by several methods.
