The assessment of fetal development and birth weight is a priority in the field of nutritional epidemiology and public health. Nowadays, the World Health Organization (WHO) does not have specific birth weight curves for the distinct gestational weeks considering that socio-economic, ecological and ethnic characteristics of the different human groups are found influencing their own growth patterns.This research develops centile curves for weight by gestational age concerning to resident populations in the province of Catamarca.In order to process data, SPSS statistical program was used, as well as LMS Chart Maker pro program for the subsequent performing of centile curves. The sample ascended to a total of 22,576 childbirths between 1994 and 2003.In the future, these curves make possible a better assessment of intrauterine development and birth weight in this region of Northwest of Argentina.
