During adolescence, growth and development are transformative and have profound consequences on an individual's health in later life, as well as on the health of any potential child. Nutritional assessment teams in adolescents are based on obtaining body measurements. The procedures are simple, safe, and noninvasive, they are precise and accurate if standardized records are used, and the necessary equipment is inexpensive and portable. On the one hand, we include weight, height and the indices based on the relationships between them, which allow comparison with reference populations and to be able to carry out an evolutionary assessment, through the changes produced over time. However, they do not provide information on the adolescent's body composition. To do this, it is necessary to use other anthropometric parameters, such as skinfolds and some perimeters, which can provide information on fat compartments (FM) and lean or fat-free mass (MM), and complement them with biochemical data.
