Objetivo: Determinar los factores asociados a la agudeza visual disminuida en niños de primaria de dos instituciones educativas del distrito de Villa Rica 2023. Material y métodos: Estudio hipotético-deductivo, cuantitativo, aplicado, correlacional, no experimental y transversal. La muestra incluyó 90 escolares. Las variables evaluadas fueron los factores asociados (sociodemográficos, epidemiológicos, de hábitos) y la agudeza visual disminuida (AVD). El análisis estadístico comprendió la prueba U de Mann Whitney y Chi cuadrado. Resultado: Se evidenció que el 50% de escolares tuvieron de 9 a 11 años de edad, el 51.1% fueron mujeres, el 70% presentaron antecedente familiar de problemas oculares, mientras que el 54.5% y 61.1% estuvieron frente al televisor y al celular, respectivamente, por menos de 2 horas. La mitad de los escolares reportó tener hasta 3 aparatos electrónicos, siendo los más comunes el celular (95.6%), la televisión (77.8%) y la laptop (37.8%). Se evidenció AVD en el 23.3% de los escolares; sin embargo, se determinó que solo la edad fue un factor asociado significativamente a la AVD (p=0.027<0.05). Conclusión: La edad fue el único factor significativamente asociado a la AVD, la cual es menor en escolares con AVD y mayor en escolares sin AVD.Introduction: The alteration of visual acuity is a current problem, which affects the perception of visual stimuli, for such the identification of those factors that reduce visual acuity in primary school students is currently relevant. Objective: To determine the factors associated with decreased visual acuity in primary school children from two educational institutions in the district of Villa Rica 2023. Material and methods: Hypothetical-deductive study, with a quantitative, applied, correlational, non-experimental, and cut-off approach cross. The population and the sample size were made up of 90 primary school students from two educational institutions. The variables to be evaluated were the associated factors (sociodemographic, epidemiological, habits) and decreased visual acuity. Statistical analysis was by Mann Whitney U test and Chi square, with significance of 5%. Result: It was evidenced that 50% of schoolchildren were between 9 and 11 years of age, 51.1% were women, 70% had grandparents, siblings or parents with eye problems, while 54.5% and 61.1% were in front of to the television and the cell phone respectively for less than 2 hours. In addition, each student could have up to 3 electronic devices, the most common being television (77.8%) and cell phones (95.6%). However, it was determined that only age was a sociodemographic factor significantly associated with decreased visual acuity (p=0.027<0.05). Conclusion: Age was the only sociodemographic factor significantly associated with decreased visual acuity.application/pdfspahttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ChildNiñoRisk FactorsFactores de RiesgoVisual AcuityAgudeza VisualFactores asociados a la agudeza visual disminuida en niños de primaria de dos instituciones educativas del distrito Villa Rica 2023Factors associated with decreased visual acuity in primary school children from two educational institutions of the Villa Rica district 2023Factors associated with decreased visual acuity in primary school children from two educational institutions of the Villa Rica district 2023http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_bdcchttps://purl.org/pe-repo/ocde/ford#3.03.05info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessODS 3: Salud y bienestar.
