The study focuses on determining the relationship between nutrition and cognitive processes that affect academic performance in adolescent students. It is a non-experimental, quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional research. 189 students, with an average age of 15, were selected as a sample. years. The dependent variable is made up of the school performance of the study population, determined through the Saber Tests and grade sheets and indirectly through neuropsychological tests, such as the TMT Test A and B, which measures the cognitive process of attention. and the Wisconsin test that measures executive functions and the Auditory Memory test that measures the memory process. The main independent variable of this study will be the anthropometric nutritional status of the students, determined through the calculation of BMI and hemoglobin. It is concluded that the relationship between BMI and hemoglobin with the different tests is weak, as is BMI and hemoglobin with the grades and results of the Saber Tests. Although the participating students present a high risk of acquiring eating habits that result in nutritional deficiencies. The results obtained show that the BMI in the majority is within normal ranges as well as hemoglobin, they also have good sleeping habits and the results of academic performance measured by grades and Test Saber are not as low as initially expected.
