Resumen
Objetivo: determinar la asociación entre el nivel socioeconómico y estado nutricional de
preescolares de la escuela “Sgto. Gabriel Solís Moreira” de la ciudad de Guayaquil.
Materiales y Métodos: investigación con enfoque mixto (cualitativo y cuantitativo) con un
tipo de estudio descriptivo, transversal y de campo en una muestra de 60 niños (27 niñas y
33 niños). Resultados: alrededor del 50% de los infantes tienen un peso/talla normal,
peso/edad normal y talla/edad normal. Sin embargo, más del 50% de los niños presentó
una circunferencia de cintura/edad con riesgo cardiometabólico. Los infantes reportaron
problemas de obesidad, riesgo de padecer sobrepeso y problemas con el crecimiento.
Conclusión: hay variables antropométricas que están asociadas al nivel socioeconómico y
estado nutricional de los infantes, como el caso del Índice de Masa Corporal, el indicador
Peso/Edad. Recomendaciones: Generar nuevos proyectos con planes de nutrición para las
familias que tienen un nivel socioeconómico bajo y medio bajo.
Palabras clave: Antropometría, nivel socioeconómico, preescolares, estado nutricional.
Objective: to determine the association between socioeconomic level and nutritional status in preschool children of the "Sgto. Gabriel Solís Moreira" school in the city of Guayaquil. Materials and Methods: research with a mixed approach (qualitative and quantitative) with a descriptive, crosssectional and field study in a sample of 60 children (27 girls and 33 boys). Results: about 50% of the infants have normal weight/height, normal weight/age and normal height/age. However, more than 50% of the children presented waist circumference/age with cardiometabolic risk. The infants reported problems with obesity, risk of being overweight and problems with growth. Conclusion: there are anthropometric variables that are associated with the socioeconomic level and nutritional status of the infants, such as the Body Mass Index and the Weight/Age indicator. Recommendations: To generate new projects with nutrition plans for families with a low and medium low socioeconomic level. Keywords: Anthropometry, socioeconomic level, preschoolers, nutritional status
