However, it was observed that protocol was not accomplished in all extension in the city of Jaguari- RS, south of Brazil.

Then, operating changings were set up in anthropometric assessments and it was realized a training in anthropometry for health professionals. Monitoring performed during an anthropometric assessment showed positive results in the process of FNSP implementation.
