Relationships are concluded between malnutrition and other variables such as education level of the parents and the number of people per household.This work uses the non-experimental deductive method, reviewing related literature as the basis to identify similar behaviours found in the data from the Instituto Colombiano de Bienerstar Familiar for Vaupés in the year 2010. Among the main findings are high rates of malnutrition during both early and chronic childhood, not only associated with inadequate nutrient intake but also with other factors
