title: [The limits of normality tables for anthropometric parameters].
abstract: Study of a sample of surgical patients, evaluating their preoperative nutritional state using anthropometric parameters and normality reference tables used by most authors and those used in Spain. Results obtained with both were compared. A significant difference was found (p < F0.001) in the results using one or the other table, and this leads us to question the universal use of these tables.
