dc.description | This study addressed the relationship between sedentary behavior and dietary intake patterns in obese children attending the Hospital General IESS Quevedo. A descriptive, non-experimental, correlational, field and cross-sectional design was used to characterize key variables and determine possible associations, with the objective of determining the relationship between sedentary behavior and food intake in obese children from the Hospital General IESS Quevedo during the period from October 2024 to May 2025. The population consisted of 95 children aged 6 to 12 years diagnosed with obesity according to the Body Mass Index criteria adjusted for age and sex by the World Health Organization. Given the small population size, all subjects were included, ensuring greater precision in the results. Validated structured surveys, interviews with parents and analysis of clinical records were used for data collection to obtain anthropometric data. Statistical tools such as Pearson correlation and linear regression were used to analyze the data collected. The results indicated that 50.53% of children dedicate more than three hours a day to sedentary activities, with television and video games as their main occupations. In addition, 62.10% consume ultra-processed foods daily, while only 32% comply with the recommendations for fruits and vegetables. These data show a significant relationship between sedentary lifestyles and obesity. Although parental self-reporting biases may exist, it suggests the need for interventions to reduce these risk factors by promoting physical activity and healthy eating habits. | es_ES |

dc.description.abstract | El presente estudio abordó la relación entre sedentarismo y patrones de ingesta alimentaria en niños con obesidad, atendidos en el Hospital General IESS Quevedo. Se utilizó un diseño descriptivo, no experimental, correlacional, de campo y transversal para caracterizar las variables clave y determinar posibles asociaciones. El objetivo fue determinar la relación entre el sedentarismo y la ingesta de alimentos en niños con obesidad del Hospital General IESS Quevedo durante el periodo octubre 2024 – mayo 2025. La población estuvo conformada por 95 niños entre 6 y 12 años diagnosticados con obesidad, según criterios del Índice de Masa Corporal ajustado por edad y sexo de la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Dado el tamaño reducido, se incluyó a todos los sujetos, garantizando mayor precisión en los resultados. Para la recolección de datos se emplearon encuestas estructuradas validadas, entrevistas a padres y análisis de registros clínicos para obtener datos antropométricos. Se utilizaron herramientas estadísticas como correlación de Pearson y regresión lineal para analizar los datos recolectados. Los resultados indicaron que el 50.53% de los niños dedican más de tres horas diarias a actividades sedentarias, con la televisión y los videojuegos como principales ocupaciones. Además, el 62.10% consume alimentos ultraprocesados diariamente, mientras que solo el 32% cumple con las recomendaciones de frutas y verduras. Estos datos evidencian la relación significativa entre sedentarismo y obesidad. Aunque pueden existir sesgos por autorreporte parental, se sugiere la necesidad de intervenciones para reducir estos factores de riesgo, fomentando actividad física y hábitos alimenticios saludables. | es_ES |
