Abstract: The assessment of body composition in the pediatric population is essential for adequate nutritional support during hospitalization. The Body Mass Index (BMI) classically classifies obesity in adults, but its use in children and adolescents is inadequate, evaluated with percentiles/z-score. Several methods are used to verify the amount of fat in patients, through CT and MRI, mainly in the lumbar spaces. The aim of this study was to evaluate the distance between the skin and the end of the subcutaneous tissue in three different thoracic segments in children aged 0 to 13 years.
