La obesidad: un desorden metabólico de alto riesgo para la salud.

Abstract

La obesidad es un trastorno metabólico y nutricional de serias consecuencias para la salud. A pesar de existir un mejor conocimiento clínico y epidemiológico del problema, la prevalencia de la obesidad ha aumentado significativamente en países industrializados y en desarrollo. Existen pautas estandarizadas para el diagnóstico clínico-nutricional y el tratamiento multifactorial de la obesidad con énfasis en la promoción de estilos de vida saludable que incluyan alimentación balanceada, mayor actividad física y disminución del sedentarismo. Se reconoce el alto riesgo que representa la obesidad en la incidencia de varias enfermedades crónicas: hipertensión arterial, enfermedad isquémica coronaria, accidentes cerebro-vasculares, diabetes tipo 2 y ciertas formas de cáncer, que son causa importante de morbilidad y mortalidad en los países del hemisferio occidental. Obesity is a metabolic and nutritional disorder of serious health consequences. Despite being a better clinical and epidemiological knowledge of the problem, its prevalence has increased significantly both in industrialized and developing countries. There are standardized guidelines for the clinical and nutritional diagnosis and the multifactorial management of obesity with emphasis in the promotion of healthy lifestyles that include balanced diets, greater physical activity and reduction of sedentarism. It is well documented the high risk that obesity imposes in the incidence of several Nachronic diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain forms of cancer, which are important cause of morbidity and mortality in the Western Hemisphere.
