| description | Objective: To determine the healthy habits and nutritional status of children attending middle basic education in private educational units of the El Sagrario parish in the Loja canton. Methodology: A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 270 children. Data collection instruments included the Health Habits Questionnaire, the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children, and the Children's Sleep Habits Survey. Additionally, the weight and height of the participants were measured to assess their nutritional status. Results: The results show that 75.09% of children consume three meals a day, 98.56% regularly include proteins in their diet, 93.14% consume fruits and vegetables, 96.03% have an adequate water intake, and 98.92% consume processed food. However, 47.65% exhibit unhealthy habits related to the interaction between food consumption and digital entertainment. Moreover, 48.74% of the children have a high consumption of digital entertainment during the week and weekends. Regarding physical activity, 59.93% of the children have a low level of physical activity, and 62.82% have inadequate sleep habits. In terms of nutritional status, 44.41% of the children are underweight, while 5.77% are overweight. Conclusion: Although the majority of children have healthy habits related to nutrition, critical areas require attention, such as low levels of physical activity, inadequate sleep habits, and the harmful interaction between food consumption and digital entertainment. A significant percentage of malnutrition and overweight is also evident. In response to these findings, an educational strategy was implemented for parents and children to promote the development of proper healthy habits and improve the results obtained in the research. |

Metodología: Se realizó un estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo, con diseño transversal, que incluyó una muestra de 270 niños. Para la recolección de datos se aplicaron el Cuestionario de Hábitos de Salud, el Cuestionario de Actividad Física para Niños y la Encuesta de Hábitos de Sueño Infantil. Además, se evaluaron el peso y la talla de los participantes para determinar su estado nutricional. Resultados: Los resultados muestran que el 75.09% de los niños consumen tres comidas diarias, el 98.56% incluyen proteínas regularmente en su dieta, el 93.14% consumen frutas y verduras, el 96.03% tienen un adecuado consumo de agua, y el 98.92% consumen comida procesada. Sin embargo, el 47.65% presentan hábitos no saludables relacionados con la interacción entre el consumo de alimentos y el entretenimiento digital. Asimismo, el 48.74% de los niños tienen un consumo elevado de entretenimiento digital durante la semana y los fines de semana. En cuanto a la actividad física, el 59.93% de los niños tienen un nivel de actividad física bajo. Además, el 62.82% presentan hábitos inadecuados de sueño. En relación con el estado nutricional, el 44.41% de los niños tienen bajo peso, mientras que el 5.77% presentan sobrepeso. Conclusión: aunque la mayoría de los niños tienen hábitos saludables en aspectos relacionados con la alimentación, existen áreas críticas que requieren atención, como los bajos niveles de actividad física, los hábitos inadecuados de sueño y la interacción perjudicial entre el consumo de alimentos y el entretenimiento digital. También se evidencia un porcentaje significativo de desnutrición y sobrepeso. En respuesta a estos hallazgos, se implementó una estrategia educativa dirigida a los padres y niños para fomentar el desarrollo de correctos hábitos saludables y mejorar los resultados obtenidos en la investigación.
