| dc.description | The transition from exclusive breastfeeding to complementary feeding represents a fundamental moment in the health and nutrition of the child. It is a process that requires special attention, since its implementation can have a significant impact on the appearance or prevention of malnutrition, overweight and obesity, or, on the other hand, promote healthy growth and development in the child. Objective: to determine the relationship between complementary feeding and nutritional status in children under two years of age who attend the Quevedo Urban Center during the period October 2024 – May 2025. Methodology: This research was non-experimental, field, correlational, quantitative with a cross-sectional approach. Results: Of the 77 children in the sample, males (57.1%) and ages 12 to 24 months (59.7%) predominated. A relationship was found between complementary feeding and nutritional status, observing that 18.2% were short in stature and 13% underweight. 58.4% of complementary feeding practices were inadequate, although a higher percentage of complementary feeding was inadequate. In addition, nutritional problems were identified, such as risk of overweight (7.8%) and short stature (18.2%). It was concluded that children in the Quevedo Urban Center exhibited inadequate feeding practices, with deficiencies in feeding frequency particularly among children between 6 and 8 months and 9 and 11 months of age. They also presented altered nutritional status. Therefore, a relationship between complementary feeding and nutritional status was established. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | La transición de la lactancia materna exclusiva a la alimentación complementaria representa un momento fundamental en la salud y nutrición del niño. Este proceso requiere especial atención, dado que su implementación puede tener un impacto significativo en la aparición de la desnutrición, el sobrepeso y la obesidad, afectando un crecimiento y desarrollo saludable. Objetivo: determinar la relación entre la alimentación complementaria y el estado nutricional en niños menores de dos años que acuden al Centro urbano Quevedo durante el periodo octubre 2024 – mayo 2025. Metodología: esta investigación fue de tipo no experimental, de campo, correlacional, cuantitativa con enfoque transversal. Resultados: De los 77 niños correspondientes a la muestra, el predominó el sexo masculino (57.1%) y la edad de 12 a 24 meses (59.7%). Se encontró una relación entre la alimentación complementaria y el estado nutricional, observando que el 18.2% presentó baja talla y el 13% bajo peso. El 58.4% de las prácticas de alimentación complementaria fueron inadecuadas, sin embargado un mayor porcentaje de adecuado en la consistencia y frecuencia de las comidas. Además, se identificaron problemas nutricionales, como riesgo de sobrepeso (7.8%) y baja talla (18.2%). Se concluyó que los niños del Centro Urbano Quevedo presentaron una práctica inadecuada en la introducción de alimentos, destacando las deficiencias en la frecuencia de consumo de alimentos especialmente en la edad de 6 a 8 meses y de 9 a 11 meses; así mismo, presentaron alteraciones en el estado nutricional; por lo cual, se determinó una relación entre la alimentación complementaria y el estado nutricional. | es_ES |
