description The aim of this study was to improve knowledge of the nutritional status of children and family food practices and representations in vulnerable populations living in the peri-urban area of La Plata. To this end, a cross-sectional anthropometric study was carried out on 581 schoolchildren aged 6-12 years, and nutritional categories were determined on the basis of body weight, height and body mass index. Socioeconomic and environmental characteristicsof residence and family food practices and representations were also assessed. The results confirm the socio-economic and environmental vulnerability of the population studied and the coexistence of the two faces of child malnutrition, with an apparent substitution of undernutrition by overweight. The practices and representations related to eating that families use in their own context and daily lives are also identified.

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue avanzar en el conocimiento del estado nutricional infantil y las prácticas y representaciones alimentarias familiares en poblaciones vulnerables que residen en barrios populares del periurbano de La Plata. Para ello, se realizó un estudio antropométrico transversal a 581 escolares de 6-12 años de edad y a partir del peso corporal, la talla y el índice de masa corporal se determinaron categorías nutricionales. Asimismo, se relevaron las características socioeconómicas y ambientales de residencia y las prácticas y representaciones alimentarias familiares, mediante encuestas. Los resultados obtenidos confirman la situación de vulnerabilidad socioeconómica y ambiental de la población analizada y la coexistencia de las dos caras de la malnutrición infantil, con un evidente reemplazo de la desnutrición por el exceso de peso. Asimismo, se identifican prácticas y representaciones en torno a la alimentación, que las familias ponen en juego en su propio contexto y cotidianeidad. O objetivo deste estudo foi aprofundar o conhecimento sobre o estado nutricional infantil e as práticas e representações alimentares familiares em populações vulneráveis que vivem em bairros populares da zona periurbana de La Plata. Foi realizado um estudo antropométrico transversal com 581 crianças com idades entre os 6 e os 12 anos, tendo sido determinadas categorias nutricionais com base no peso corporal, altura e índice de massa corporal. Foramtambém analisadas as características socioeconómicas e ambientais da residência e as práticas e representações alimentares das famílias. Os resultados obtidos confirmam a situação de vulnerabilidade socioeconômica e ambiental da população analisada e a coexistência de dois tipos de malnutrição infantil, com uma evidente substituição da desnutrição pelo excesso de peso. Da mesma forma, foram identificadas as práticas e representações sobre a alimentaçãoque as famílias adotam no seu próprio contexto e quotidiano.
