    General Objective: To determine the nutritional status of children under 5 years old attending the “MAGDALENA” Maternal and Child Health Center and its association with the level of knowledge about child nutrition among their mothers or caregivers. Materials and Method: The study will be descriptive, with a quantitative approach, cross-sectional, and non-experimental. A questionnaire with 10 questions and a single response option on child nutrition will be used to assess the knowledge of mothers or caregivers. The knowledge level will be classified as high (15-11 pts.), medium (10-6 pts.), or low (5-0 pts.). Results: The Spearman's rank test was used to measure the relationship between the two quantitative variables. The association degree between the two variables was calculated on each scale (-1 and 1). A statistical hypothesis was tested with a p-value of 0.9815 at a 5% significance level, allowing us to conclude that there is insufficient statistical evidence to reject the null hypothesis. Conclusion: With a p-value of 0.9815 at a 5% significance level, we conclude that there is no significant relationship between the knowledge level about nutrition and the nutritional status of the child.
