    In this research work, the prevalence of the diagnosis of risk of malnutrition in children from 0 to 5 years old was determined through the application of the STAMP nutritional screening and its sensitivity and reliability for its use. The sample used consisted of 47 children belonging to a child development center in the city of Píllaro who were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria determining the study. Anthropometric data on weight and height were collected and the screening was applied to the caregivers who provide food to the children in the child development center. These anthropometric data were analyzed using the WHO ANTRO system, which established growth curves and their respective standard deviations. According to the sensitivity of the screening, 60% was obtained and according to its specificity, 52%; according to the relationship established between the results of the STAMP screening and the BMI/age indicator, a chi-square was obtained with a value of p= 0.453. Finally, using the prevalence formula, of the 47 children to whom the STAMP screening was applied, 22 (46.81%) registered a low risk of malnutrition; 17 (36.17%) a medium risk of malnutrition and 8 (17.02%) a high risk of malnutrition, so that more than half of them would have the possibility of presenting child malnutrition.
