Alteraciones de la memoria en niños con desnutrición

Resumen

The present systematic review is done in order to know what the incidence of malnutrition has been in the cerebral functions of children associated with cognitive processes, taking into account the risk factors to which infants are exposed as alterations in the brain by insane food. We have analyzed 50 articles and theses between the years 2012-2020; of which at an international level 24 deal with malnutrition as well as 12 articles from the Colombian context. In addition, 6 articles on malnutrition and their impact on the memory of the infant have been referenced at the international level, as well as 8 articles from the local context. From this research work it is possible to affirm that the works cited both at the international and local level on the subject of malnutrition and its incidence in the memory show a scarce depth on this topic, being rather the focus of study of these associations of malnutrition with social problems such as poverty and unhealthy eating habits.
