RESUMENEl presente estudio tiene como objetivo determinar si existen diferencias significativas entre el desarrollo psicomotor y el estado nutricional en niños de 4 a 5 años, pertenecientes a un establecimiento educacional municipal y niños pertenecientes a un establecimiento particular. El diseño es no experimental, transversal y correlacional. El enfoque es de tipo cuantitativo/racionalista. La población está compuesta por 54 niños y niñas de kínder. Para evaluar el desarrollo psicomotor se utilizó el test de Jack Capon, adaptación de Sergio Carrasco (1989). Para conseguir el estado nutricional se obtuvo el peso y la talla de la población. Los resultados indican que los estudiantes del colegio particular, presentaron diferencias significativas en el desarrollo psicomotor, frente a los resultados de los de la escuela municipal. Así también los sujetos con sobrepeso u obesidad, categorizados en malnutrición por exceso presentaron un rendimiento motor inferior en comparación con los normopeso y bajo peso y en el ámbito de la imagen corporal a mayor peso es menor el reconocimiento de ella.

ABSTRACTThe aim of this research is to determine whether there are significant differences between psychomotor development and nutritional status in 4 to 5 year-old children that attend a municipal school and those that attend a private one. The design is non-experimental, cross-sectional and correlational and the approach is quantitative/rationalist. The sample is made-up of 54 boys and girls in kindergarten. To evaluate psychomotor development, the Jack Capone Test, adapted by Sergio Carrasco (1989), was used. With regards to the nutritional status, the sample group's weight and height were obtained. Results revealed that the children from the private institution showed significant differences in psychomotor development compared to the results of the children from the municipal institution. Furthermore, the overweight or obese individuals, classified as suffering from malnutrition due to excessive amounts of food, showed inferior motor performance compared to the children with normal or below average weight. With regards to body image, the higher the weight, the lower the child's own body image.
