摘要:Colombia recognizes health as a fundamental right, however persistent inequities in early childhood. The objective was to describe the situation of early childhood and health inequalities between social groups in the municipality of Andes-Antioquia. A descriptive study framed in critical epidemiology was conducted, included assessment of growth and development and the State of dentition of 642 children 0 to 5 years. The accompanying adult was also surveyed. The sampling was probabilistic in urban areas and for concentration in rural areas. The population was classified into five social groups. Indicators of nutritional status and dental caries experience behaved unevenly, being better in children from families of employees/independent with higher education and worse in the group of day laborers. Inequities in oral health and child development among children sub-salaried families and other groups are evident.
