[EN] Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of obesity in patients treated by departments of Internal Medicine and to classify the patients according to the Edmonton Obesity Staging System (EOSS). Material and methods: An observational, descriptive cross-sectional study included outpatients older than 18 years, with a body mass index (BMI) > 30, from 38 hospitals between the 1 st and 14th of February, 2016. We classified the patients according to the EOSS and analysed their clinical, laboratory and demographic variables. A value of P 2 were significantly older and had significantly more comorbidities. The multivariate analysis related age (OR 1.06; P 2. An analysis of correspondence grouped, with an explanatory percentage of 78.2%, the patients according to their EOSS, comorbidity, education level, employment status and functional capacity. Conclusions: The prevalence of obesity in the patients treated by Internal Medicine departments is similar to that of the general population, although the patients are older and have a higher BMI. EOSS is useful for implementing a comprehensive approach for patients with obesity, regardless of the BMI, which can help achieve better health and quality-of-life results.
[ES] Objetivos: Estimar la prevalencia de obesidad y clasificarla según la estadificación de Edmonton (EOSS) en pacientes atendidos por Medicina Interna. Material y métodos: Estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal. Incluyó pacientes ambulatorios mayores de 18 años con un índice de masa corporal (IMC) > 30, procedentes de 38 hospitales, entre el 1 y el 14 de febrero de 2016. Se clasificaron según EOSS y se analizaron variables clínicas, analíticas y sociodemográficas. Se consideró significación estadística con p 2 tenían significativamente más edad y comorbilidades. El análisis multivariante relacionó la edad (OR 1,06, p 2. Un análisis de correspondencias agrupó, con un porcentaje explicativo del 78,2%, a los pacientes según su EOSS, comorbilidad, nivel de estudios, situación laboral y capacidad funcional. Conclusiones: La prevalencia de obesidad en pacientes atendidos por Medicina Interna es similar a la de la población general, aunque los pacientes son de mayor edad e IMC. El EOSS es útil para hacer una aproximación integral de los pacientes obesos, independientemente del IMC, lo que puede posibilitar la obtención de mejores resultados en salud y en calidad de vida.
