Abstract

Overweight from early ages has increased in recent years around the world, which can lead to a higher prevalence of Chronic Non-communicable Diseases later in life. The objective of this study was to compare the percentage of overweight in children between two and four years old in the different countries of Central America and Mexico, based on the information reported by Our World in Data and Cepal, in the period from 1990 to 2020. The general linear model with BOX-COX transformation was used to validate the statistical assumptions of the model. Costa Rica statistically differs (p<0.05) from the rest of Central America, regarding the percentage of overweight in children whose age ranges between two and four years. This nation presents the highest percentages over time, while Honduras has the lowest. It is necessary to establish public policies that promote a healthy diet and lifestyle from an early age, in order to reduce the appearance of diseases in the future, improving quality of life.
