En los últimos años han venido a vivir a España mu-chos niños emigrantes y adoptados de países en general de baja renta. En el futuro este número va a ser cada vez mayor. En este artículo se indican pautas de referencia que pueden ayudar a determinar el estado nutricional y el cre-cimiento de un niño extranjero con antecedentes socia-les, personales y familiares diferentes a los nuestros y en ocasiones desconocidos. Se recomienda utilizar en estos casos las tablas de crecimiento del país de acogida.

In the last few years, many immigrant and adopted chil-dren from poor countries have come to live in Spain and the number is increasing. In this article we indicate which standard references can help pediatricians to determine the nutritional status and growth of these children whose social, personal and familial histories are different from our own and sometimes unknown. In these cases applica-tion of the standard national growth charts of the receiving country is recommended.

Key words:
Immigration
Nutrition
