| dc.description | Complementary feeding is the beginning of the intake of foods other than breast milk and infant milk formulas, with the objective of completing the energy needs as well as macro and micronutrients, which these are not able to provide. The general objective of the research is to determine the impact of complementary feeding practices on the prevalence of malnutrition in infants aged 12 to 24 months attended at the Atarazana Health Center, during October 2024 to May 2025. Therefore, using a quantitative approach, data were collected through surveys applied to caregivers, considering factors such as type of feeding, gender, parents' educational level and place of residence. Inductive and deductive methods were used to analyze the relationship between feeding practices and the nutritional status of infants. The results showed that inadequate complementary feeding practices prevail in a high percentage, significantly affecting nutritional status. It was found that 30% of the infants evaluated had some degree of malnutrition. In addition, patterns related to the mothers' level of schooling and rural residence were identified as influential factors. Therefore, it is essential to promote educational strategies aimed at caregivers in order to improve complementary feeding practices and reduce the prevalence of malnutrition in this vulnerable population. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | La alimentación complementaria es el inicio de la ingesta de alimentos diferentes a la leche materna y a las fórmulas lácteas infantiles, con el objetivo de completar las necesidades de energía como también de macro y micronutrientes, que éstas no son capaces de proporcionar. El objetivo general de la investigación es determinar el impacto de las prácticas de alimentación complementaria en la prevalencia de desnutrición en lactantes de 12 a 24 meses atendidos en el Centro de Salud Atarazana, durante octubre de 2024 a mayo de 2025. Por lo cual, mediante un enfoque cuantitativo, se recolectaron datos a través de encuestas aplicadas a los cuidadores, considerando factores como el tipo de alimentación, género, nivel educativo de los padres y lugar de residencia. Se emplearon métodos inductivo y deductivo para analizar la relación entre las prácticas alimentarias y el estado nutricional de los lactantes. En el que los resultados mostraron que las prácticas inadecuadas de alimentación complementaria prevalecen en un alto porcentaje, afectando significativamente el estado nutricional. Se encontró que un 30% de los lactantes evaluados tienen algún grado de desnutrición. Además, se identificaron patrones relacionados con el nivel de escolaridad de las madres y la residencia rural como factores influyentes. Por lo que se concluye que es fundamental fomentar estrategias educativas dirigidas a los cuidadores para así mejorar las prácticas de alimentación complementaria, reduciendo la prevalencia de desnutrición en esta población vulnerable. | es_ES |
