Objective: Through this study, it was sought to identify the relationship between age of introduction of complementary foods and consumption of fruit, vegetables and red meat in 4 year olds who participated in a previous study about the implementation of a complementary food guideline at The Suba hospital. Method: The descriptive cross sectional and analytic study was conducted through a mother directed questionnaire that includes i) Socioeconomic information and basic information about child´s eating background (breast feeding and weaning) ii) food frequency questionnaire iii) alimentary conduct questionnaire of the children. Data was obtained by personal or telephone interviews depending on the availability of the mother. Data was analyzed on SPSS analytic program version 22.0 to look for the relations in proportions and average. Results: of the 40 children selected for the study, 11 mothers were interviewed at the Suba Hospital and 19 were interviewed by telephone, having a total of 30 questionnaires completed. Children who initiated the complementary food at 6 the age of months (CF=6m) presented a higher consumption of fruits, vegetables and meat and a greater appetite control at 4 years of age.
