Patrón del comportamiento alimentario en escolares

Abstract

It is during school-going ages when the food habits that will, probably, be followed during a large part of our lives are acquired. Objective: To know and value qualitatively and quantitatively the weekly diet of a group of school children and observe the differences in food ingestion in the school days and those at weekends. The consumption in food rations is more adequate in children with a normal weight and in school days. A nutritional education is necessary for children within their own environment.
