En Ecuador, 1 de cada 4 niños y niñas menores de 5 años sufre desnutrición
crónica. El objetivo del presente estudio fue “Relacionar el estado nutricional con los
hábitos alimentarios en infantes con bajo peso”. El estudio fue de tipo retrospectivo,
no experimental de diseño transversal; participaron 50 pacientes entre edades de 3

de consumo. Los resultados obtenidos fueron que el 81% correspondiente al género
de las niñas presento riesgo de desnutrición, mientras que el 14% representado por
niños presentó una desnutrición aguda. En cuanto a los hábitos alimentarios se
observó, que el 46% ingieren frutas de 5 a 6 días por semana, el 72% de los niños
consumían vegetales cocidos de 2 a 4 días a la semana, el 80% consumía de 2 a 4
