As a result, predominated the masculine gender with the 53%; average age of 28.6 months. 28.8% showed inadequate eating behavior, of which 33.3% belonged to dysfunctional families showing a statistically significant relationship (p < 0.05). It was identified a statistical significance between eating behavior and overweight (p=0.007), not being like that for the nutritional status and family functionality.
