Objective. Analyze the relationship between the concentration and the periodicity of the control and the growth and development profile of the child under one year. Methods. A correlational design study was carried out with 309 children under one year from the Aparicio Pomares - Huánuco health center, in 2018. A data collection sheet was used. In the inferential analysis, the Pearson Chi-Square7 Test was used. Results. Among the newborns, 74.2 % (207) presented a concentration of controls and 43.0 % (120) maintained the periodicity of controls. Likewise, 94.3 % (263) were diagnosed with adequate growth and 100.0 % (279) had normal psychomotor development. In children aged 1 to 11 months, 62.8 % (194) showed a concentration of controls and 13.9 % (43) had a periodicity of controls. Similarly, 57.0 % (176) were diagnosed with adequate growth and 97.7 % (302) had normal psychomotor development. On the other hand, the concentration of controls is related to the growth of newborns, with a p ≤ 0.004; while in children under one year of age, the concentration of controls is related to growth (p ≤ 0.003) and psychomotor development (p ≤ 0.014). Conclusions. The  concentration of controls is significantly related to the growth and development of children under one year of the Aparicio Pomares - Huánuco health center.
