This was cross sectional study involving all children accompanied by SISVAN attended at primary health care in 2012 in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Of the 469 265 children evaluated and monitored by Web -SISVAN according to the index weight x age, 3.8 % have low and very low weight for age, 87.3 % had normal weight and 8.8 % are with high weight for age.
