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. Objective: This research develops centile curves for weight by gestational age concerning to resident populations in the province of Catamarca. Methods: 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. Discussion and Conclusion: In the future, these curves make possible a better assessment of intrauterine development and birth weight in this region of Northwest of Argentina.
