Relación de los estilos de crianza parental, conductas de riesgo, calidad alimentaria y composición corporal en adolescentes de una Unidad Educativa Particular, Loja 2024 - 2025

Abstract

Abstract: This study explores the relationship between parenting styles, risk behaviors, food quality, and body composition in adolescents from a private school in Loja, during the 2024-2025 period. This research is based on the premise that a family environment significantly influences health, growth, development, and eating habits. Therefore, through various surveys and anthropometric measurements, parenting patterns that influence adolescents' eating habits were identified. The results show that a high percentage of the sample exhibits behaviors that put them at risk of developing an eating disorder. Furthermore, it is important to consider that, although this study presents important data for the educational and family environment, it also seeks to create and utilize strategies and nutritional education to counteract the existing problems in the adolescent sample.
