    Obesity contributes to poor alignment of the lower limbs, increasing the risk of knee osteoarthritis in adulthood. The knee joint plays a significant role in supporting the body and transmitting weight during static and dynamic activities. In children aged 6 to 8 years, knees position in excessive valgus, finding alignment at 8 to 10 years. If, at this stage, the knees receive increased tension and load due to overweight, they may deviate into excessive valgus due to body compensations for weight support and muscle fatigue, as sedentary behavior reduces muscle tone. The aim of this study was to determine whether there is a relationship between body mass index and knee deviations in the frontal plane in children aged 9 to 11 years from the Fe y Alegría educational institution in Comas, 2023. An observational, cross-sectional, and correlational study was conducted with a sample of 166 students.
