AB  - OBJECTIVE: To verify, through a systematic review, the accuracy of nutritional 
      assessment in children and adolescents using the length/height-for-age and 
      BMI-for-age growth charts of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 
      (2000), the World Health Organization (WHO) (2006/2007) and the International 
      Obesity Task Force (IOTF) (2012). DATA SOURCE: We selected articles from the 
      databases Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), 
      through PubMed, National Library of Medicine and The National Institutes of 
      Health (NIH), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and Virtual Health 
      Library (VHL). The following descriptors were used for the search: "Child", 
      "Adolescent", "Nutritional Assessment", "Growth Chart", "Ethnic Groups", "Stature 
      by age", "Body Mass Index", "Comparison", "CDC", "WHO", and "IOTF". The selected 
      articles were assessed for quality through the Quality Assessment Tool for 
      Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies of the NIH. DATA SYNTHESIS: 
      Thirty-three studies published between 2007 and 2020 were selected and, of these, 
      20 presented good quality, 12 presented fair quality and one presented poor 
      quality. For children under five years old, the WHO length/height-for-age growth 
      charts were shown appropriate for children from Argentina, South Africa, Brazil, 
      Gabon, Qatar, Pakistan and the United States. For those five years old and older, 
      the WHO BMI-for-age growth charts were accurate for the Brazilian and Canadian 
      populations, while the IOTF growth charts were accurate for the European 
      populations. CONCLUSIONS: There are difficulties in obtaining international 
      growth charts for children from 5 years old and older that go along with a long 
      period of growth, and which include genetic, cultural and socioeconomic 
      differences of multiethnic populations who have already overcome the secular 
      trend in height.
