In the second week, the groups were conformed by the professors. We have thought about and defined in which area we will work together. We chose "Health and nutrition" because we thought that it is a central and very important aspect when we think about Children life quality and in Uruguay we have a special situation to think about. As we have seen in class, the prevalence of obesity and overweight it's higher than in other countries of Latin America. Iron-deficiency Anaemia is another important cause of malnutrition between the Uruguayan children. Having it in mind we start to do interviews to pediatricians, nutritionists, parents and children trying to understand their point of view about Children's nutrition, nutritional habits, and the problems they find in their work with these cases or in normal life.
