Resumen
La alimentación juega un rol importante en la salud orgánica del niño, también a nivel
psicosocial, en el neurodesarrollo y sobre todo en el rendimiento académico. A través de
estudios se ha considerado que los niños con problemas nutricionales son propensos al
bajo rendimiento escolar. El objetivo del presente trabajo investigativo fue analizar la
influencia de una alimentación equilibrada en el desempeño académico de los estudiantes
de básica elemental. Se estudió el tipo de alimentación que tienen los estudiantes tomando
en cuenta los macronutrientes y su cantidad de consumo para de acuerdo a eso poder
realizar un análisis deductivo que permita conocer de qué forma este tipo de hábitos
alimenticios influyen en el rendimiento académico.
Se trata de un estudio de tipo descriptivo, observacional de corte transversal con una
muestra de 62 estudiantes en donde se obtuvo que el 41,94% fueron del sexo masculino
mientras que el 58,06% del sexo femenino. El 49% de los estudiantes presentaron un buen
rendimiento académico porque alcanzan los aprendizajes requeridos, el 13% los dominan,
no se presentan casos de estudiantes con bajo rendimiento académico.
Al realizar la correlación entre el consumo de alimentos y el rendimiento académico de
los estudiantes escolares, los resultados obtenidos demuestran que el consumo de ciertos
alimentos influye en el rendimiento académico, ya que presentan significancia estadística
(P < 0,05). Se puede concluir de forma general que su alimentación en mayor porcentaje
es adecuada, esto en relación a que la mayoría de nuestra población presenta buen
rendimiento académico.
Food plays an important role in the organic health of the child, also at the psychosocial level, in neurodevelopment and above all in academic performance. Through studies, children with nutritional problems have been considered to be prone to poor school performance. The objective of this research work was to analyze the influence of a balanced diet on the academic performance of elementary-basic students. The type of feeding that students have was studied taking into account macronutrients and their amount of consumption so that they can perform a deductive analysis that allows to know how this type of eating habits influence academic performance. It is a descriptive, observational cross-sectional study with a sample of 62 students where it was obtained that 41.94% were male while 58.06% of the female sex. 49% of students performed well academically because they achieve the required learnings, 13% master them, there are no cases of students with low academic performance. By correlateing between food consumption and academic performance for school students, the results show that the consumption of certain foods influences academic performance, as they have statistical significance (P < 0.05). It can be generally concluded that their diet in higher percentage is adequate, this in relation to the success of the majority of our population.
