dc.description.abstracten_The nutritional profile of Indigenous children in Brazil is comparable to those observed in some of the least developed regions of the world. Aim_ Weight and height growth curves were characterised based on longitudinal data from a local Indigenous population experiencing the double burden of child under-nutrition and adult obesity. Subjects and methods_ Anthropometric data were collected in six waves from 2009–2011 for children _10 in two proximate Xavante villages in Central Brazil. Prevalence rates for stunting, wasting and thinness were calculated using WHO references. Weight and height data were adjusted for generalised additive mixed models to generate growth curves. Results_ Prevalence rates of stunting and wasting were high, but cases of thinness and excess weight were negligible. Weight and height began close to WHO medians, but fell substantially before 12 months. Boys but not girls were able to catch-up in weight before age 10. From 3–10 years, height for both sexes remained between 2 and 0 z-scores. Conclusion_ Impaired Xavante growth before 1 year followed by inconsistent recovery before 10 years reflects health and wellbeing disparities with regard to the Brazilian national population and a complex epidemiology of growth involving rapid nutritional change_en_US
