Abstract

Introduction: the dietary practice in children is in line with the need that food intake must meet the daily needs that life and physical activity demand. Objective: to determine the level of dietary practices of children aged 5 to 16 years at the Casa Hogar de Jesús. Method: a quantitative, observational, descriptive and prospective study was carried out to measure the number of children at the "Hogar de Jesús" House who presented an adequate level of dietary procedures and, at the same time, to know the estimate of people at risk due to inadequate practices during the year 2024. A study sample of 50 children between 5 and 16 years old was determined by simple random sampling. Results: 34 % of the sample was between 8 and 10 years old, 54 % rated their health level as very good, 100 % ate meat twice a week, 100 % of the sample said they ate vegetables three times a week, 100 % of the study participants stated that they do not consume artificial drinks, 90% indicated that they do not consume pacifiers, and 100 % of the participants consumed fruit. Conclusions: a state of good health and adequate nutrition is revealed among the children of the “Casa Hogar de Jesús” in Santo Domingo, maintaining diets rich in healthy products of animal and vegetable origin
