With the purpose to demonstrate changes on nutritional and health status a comparison was made in two studies 2000 and 2010. In the earlier, a cross sectional design carried out in children (60–120 months) of Instituto Alteño para el Desarrollo de Jalisco (INADEJ); in the latter a case‐control study with 102 children from 60 to 144 months of age from INADEJ (cases) and 206 children (controls) with similar age and sex randomly selected from the education system. Demographic, socioeconomic, parasites, iodine/iron indicators were included. Chi square test and odds ratio were estimated. During the last decade, the social, demographic and nutritional indicators of children living in Arandas, Jalisco are being significantly changed during the social & nutrition transition.
