Resumen

Esta investigación tiene como objetivo establecer en un análisis estadístico y econométrico, los determinantes de la desnutrición crónica infantil para el caso ecuatoriano durante el año 2018. Los datos de corte transversal fueron tomados de la Encuesta Nacional de Salud y Nutrición y se aplicó el modelo de elección discreta. Los resultados muestran que el determinante de la desnutrición crónica infantil es el bajo nivel de ingresos de la madre. Así mismo, el área rural, la educación, y la planificación familiar, son factores que tienen un resultado significativo en este estudio. Se concluye que el Bono de Desarrollo Humano es un beneficio que ayuda a las madres a mejorar su alimentación y la de sus hijos, disminuyendo con el estado de desnutrición. Finalmente, se recomienda que el gobierno central y local, refuercen los centros de salud, y los programas, a través de planes de bienestar infantil, principalmente a las áreas rurales.
