Ítem Acceso Abierto Malos hábitos alimentarios y su impacto en el rendimiento académico en los adolescentes de latinoamerica(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Merchán Heras, Jessica Karina; Hernandez de la Cruz, Cielo Cecilia; Martínez Ortiz, Mariana Alexandra; 0105789366; 1083555937Eating disorders are based on bad eating habits, whether due to excess, lack, poor quality or inadequate meal times. Objective: To conduct a literature review on poor eating habits and their impact on academic performance in Latin American adolescents. Methodology: The research was carried out in the following scientific data platforms: Scopus, PubMed, ProQuest, and SciELO, obtaining 50 scientific documents. Results: The prevalence in the countries with the highest incidence of poor eating habits was Mexico, with 94% of adolescents having poor eating habits; in Honduras, 71.9% consumed junk food, while in Cuba, 29% consumed fruits and vegetables. In Ecuador, adolescents consumed a large amount of junk food; however, in Azogues, 66.3% of young people had low, medium, and high-quality eating habits. Regarding the associated factors, it was found that the most influential are the socioeconomic and educational variables. Concerning the impact of poor eating habits on academic performance, it was identified that adolescents who do not have a poor diet are affected in their academic achievement; as for the therapeutic approach to malnutrition, this should be multidisciplinary. Finally, in nursing interventions, it was recommended to promote nutritional health through lectures and educational programs. Conclusions: Poor eating habits among adolescents in Latin America lead to chronic non-transmittable diseases and the risk of becoming overweight and obese. Keywords: Eating habits, adolescents, nursing, nutrition, Latin America.
