Abstract

Currently, overweight and obesity have become a public health crisis. In Latin America and the Caribbean, it is estimated that 3 out of 10 children and adolescents between 5 and 19 years of age are overweight. Therefore, the present study sought to establish the relationship between diet quality and the presence of overweight and obesity in 5th, 6th and 7th grade students of the Tirso de Molina Educational Unit of the Ambato Canton. The methodology was qualitative and quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional, the study sample was 219 students, the food consumption frequency questionnaire was applied and anthropometric measurements were taken. As a result, the boys presented a body mass index of 22.4±2.74 and the girls 22.4±2.74. It was determined that 52.7% of the students had a deficient diet and that there is a negative correlation between the body mass index and the quality of the diet (p<0.01). It is concluded that the quality of the diet is related to the body mass index, since the worse the quality of the diet the higher the weight of the students and vice versa.
