| dc.description | This research aimed to determine the relationship between complementary feeding and anemia in children under 2 years of age attending the Salinas Health Center during the period October 2024–May 2025. Methodology: The study used a quantitative, analytical, cross-sectional, and field approach. Surveys were administered to mothers of children under 2 years of age to gain insight into their feeding practices. We also reviewed their medical records to determine the prevalence of anemia in the population. The results showed that 54% of mothers began complementary feeding after 6 months, 54% began complementary feeding with cereals, 51% of children consumed soups and porridge, and 23% combined iron sources with citrus fruits, with a prevalence of anemia of 60%. Conclusions: Our study shows that children who began complementary feeding after 6 months of age had anemia. The feeding practices used by mothers during complementary feeding were investigated. Sixty percent of the mothers presented anemia, indicating inadequate feeding practices. A high prevalence of anemia was identified at the Salinas health center due to mothers' low consumption of iron-rich foods and inadequate supplementation. Recommendations: Health center staff should provide dietary education to mothers regarding the introduction of complementary foods. At the same time, they should monitor and verify treatment and supplementation. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | En la presente investigación realizada, tuvo como objetivo determinar la relación entre la alimentación complementaria y la anemia en niños menores de 2 años que acuden al centro de salud salinas durante el periodo octubre 2024 – Mayo 2025. Metodología: El estudio tuvo un enfoque cuantitativo de tipo analítico, transversal y de campo. Se aplicaron encuestas a las madres de los niños menores de 2 años para tener conocimientos sobre sus prácticas alimentarias, además revisamos sus registros clínicos para determinar la prevalencia de anemia en la población. Los resultados dieron a conocer que las madres inician la alimentación complementaria después de los 6 meses con un 54 %, un 54% inician la alimentación complementaria con cereales, el 51% de los niños consumen sopas y coladas, un 23% combina las fuentes de hierro con cítricos, existe una prevalencia de anemia del 60%. Conclusiones De acuerdo a nuestro estudio se evidencia que los niños que iniciaron la alimentación complementaria después de los 6 meses tienen anemia. Se investigaron las practicas alimentarias que utilizan las madres durante la alimentación complementaria. Donde el 60% presentó anemia, por ende, las madres tienen practicas alimentarias inadecuadas. Se identificó que existe una alta prevalencia de anemia en el centro de salud salinas debido a que las madres ofrecen un bajo consumo de alimentos ricos en hierro una incorrecta suplementación. Recomendaciones El personal del centro de salud debe brindar educación alimentaria a las madres respecto a la introducción de alimentos complementarios, Conjuntamente, realizar seguimientos y verificación del tratamiento y suplementación. | es_ES |
