RESUMEN
Se destaca al sobrepeso y obesidad como el principal condicionante actual de patología crónica no transmisible. Se identifican y discuten las principales comorbilidades asociadas al sobrepeso y obesidad, analizando las evidencias que las apoyan. Se destaca el rol de la adiposidad en la etiopatogenia del síndrome metabólico y en forma muy especial de la DM. Se analiza la asociación entre indicadores de masa corporal y tejido adiposo y tasas de mortalidad, destacando un significativo incremento de la mortalidad a medida que la masa corporal o grasa se incrementa. Se destacan los rangos asociados a la menor mortalidad, nadires que fundamentan los rangos de peso normal. Se discute en forma separada la asociación entre sobrepeso yobesidad en la infancia y adolescencia y salud, en especial su posible rol en la incidencia de patologías crónicas al alcanzar la adultez.
ABSTRACT
The article highlights overweight and obesity as the main factor in some current chronic diseases. Also it identifies and discusses major co-morbidities associated with overweight and obesity, analyzing the evidence that support them. The role of adiposity in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome especially in the development of mellitus diabetes 2 is discussed. We analyze the association between indicators of body mass and adipose tissue and mortality, highlighting a significant increase in mortality as the fat body mass increases and shows the range associated with lower mortality, basing the normal weight ranges. Will be discussing separately the association between overweight and obesity in childhood and adolescence health, especially its possible role in the incidence of chronic diseases that will develop at adulthood.
