The study carried out was observational and descriptive, with a quantitative approach, made up of a population of 29 students distributed between men and women.

The bioimpedance technique was used to assess nutritional status, and then nutritional status was determined using the body mass index (BMI). As a result, it was found that there was only a significant relationship between ethnicity and the percentage of f at, as well as between household monetary income and the percentage of protein consumed. No significant relationships were found with other sociodemographic factors evaluated.Item Relación entre riesgo de trastorno por atracón y estado nutricional, en adolescentes de la provincia de Tungurahua(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Nutrición y Dietética, 2023-09-22) Encarnación Aucapiña, Liseth Monserrath; Quiroga Torres, Tannia ElizabethBinge eating disorder (BED) regularly begins in adolescence and is characterized by recurrent episodes of excessive and uncontrolled food intake in a short period of time without compensatory behaviors. The objective was to identify the relationship between the risk of BED with the nutritional status of high school adolescents of the Juan León Mera "La Salle" high school, determined by anthropometric indicators. Nonexperimental study, cross-sectional and correlational in scope, with 218 adolescents, 121 males and 97 females, between 14 and 18 years of age, enrolled in the 2022- 2023 school year. Anthropometric data (weight and height), sociodemographic data and the risk of BED were collected using an annexed instrument, the Binge Eating Scale (BES) translated and validated in Spanish. 25.2% of the participants presented excess weight (20.2% overweight and 5% obese) according to their Body Mass Index for Age (BMI/A), in addition 5.5% presented Low Height for Age (H/A), the risk of BED was 11.5% (n=25) of which 15 presented moderate binge eating and 10 severe binge eating, the sociodemographic factors associated with binge eating were: female gender, neutral or poor relationship with parents/caregivers and neutral or unsatisfied body image (p<0.05). It was identified that between the risk of BED and BMI/A there is a significant positive relationship (p<0.01) (the higher the BMI/A, the higher the risk of BED), and between the risk of BED and H/A there is a significant negative relationship (p<0.05) (the higher the H/A, the lower the risk of BED)Item Valoración del estado nutricional de escolares que practican fútbol(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Nutrición y Dietética, 2023-09-22) Aldás Garcés, Stephany María; Pasochoa Miniguano, Fausto EnriqueThe present research work determined the nutritional status of schoolchildren who play soccer at the "Escuela del 10" Academy of Ficoa-Ambato by evaluating anthropometric indicators and food intake, in a sample of 92 children and adolescents who were selected by exclusion and inclusion criteria.
