Food systems are in constant change. One of the main sources of change is the urbanization process, which affects household food consumption patterns, leading to possible health effects on its members. The aim of this paper is to analyze the relationship between urbanization and household food consumption patterns in the different Peruvian territories, the differences between them and the changes they have experienced over time. The mechanisms to obtain food, sales formats and the relative weight of food expenditure compared to total expenditure are also analyzed, all this employing a territorial typology that recognizes the existence of a rurality/urbanity gradient. The effects of these changes on health are studied too. Results show a strong relation between urbanization and food consumption patterns. The more urban the territory, the higher the share of households that consume processed and elaborated food products, but the lower the relative weight of expenditure in those types of products. Following this, results also suggest that the more urban the territory, the greater the probability that at least one household member suffers from a chronic disease. This way, the degree of rurality/urbanity of the territory plays a determinant role in food consumption patterns. Finally, although these results are intuitive, their value lies in the fact that they provide rigorous evidence and allow to quantify the analyzed relationships
