The main objective was to determine neuropsychological maturation and its relationship with anthropometric measurements in children in the eastern part of Azogues Canton. A non-experimental design of descriptive-correlational type and cross section with a quantitative approach was proposed.

The sociodemographic survey, anthropometric measurements and the Child Neuropsychological Maturity Questionnaire - CUMANIN were administered. The sex that predominates the male with 52.7%, prevailing the age of 24 to 33 months, 44% of the minors studied presented a normal nutritional state, 24.5% chronic malnutrition, 3.8% acute, 4.3% severe, 16.3 risk of low height, 3.8% risk of underweight, 3.3% risk of overweight with predominance of the male sex.
