Abstract

This research has identified the socio-cultural determinants of nutrition in children in Wawa Bar and Haulover Communities, located in the Northern Caribbean of Nicaragua. It is a quantitative and descriptive research. The data obtained are the result of a survey application to know the socio-cultural determinants of nutrition of 157 children from Haulover and 239 children from Wawa Bar, between the ages of 1-14 years. The results showed that most children have access to more than 6 food groups and that according to the Body Mass Index (BMI), children between the ages of 1-4 years have a good nutritional status. In contrast, children between the ages of 5-14 years presented poor nutrition according to the analysis of height and weight measurements. Based on these findings, an awareness campaign proposal has been developed to contribute to the improvement of the nutritional status of children in both communities
