Influencia del exceso de peso en la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud de los adolescentes / Influence of overweight on the health-related quality of life in adolescents

INTRODUCCIÓN: Los cambios en el estilo de vida y la alimentación han conllevado un aumento progresivo de la prevalencia del sobrepeso-obesidad. Esta enfermedad puede conllevar importantes repercusiones físicas y psicosociales que deterioran la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (CVRS). La adolescencia es una etapa de gran vulnerabilidad por el entorno y muy determinante en el desarrollo de la personalidad del individuo. El objetivo fue evaluar la influencia del estado ponderal en la CVRS de los adolescentes. Población y métodos: Estudio transversal de adolescentes de 12 a 16 años. Evaluación de la CVRS mediante los cuestionarios CHIP-Adolescent Edition. RESULTADOS: Ochenta y nueve adolescentes, 60,7%, eran normoponderales y el 39,3% tenía sobrepeso-obesidad. Los participantes normoponderales tenían una edad media superior a los participantes con sobrepeso-obesidad, 14,2 frente a 13,6 a˜nos, respectivamente. No había otras diferencias entre las características sociodemográficas de ambos grupos. Los adolescentes con sobrepeso-obesidad reflejaron peor CVRS, concretamente refirieron menor resistencia, menor capacidad de actividad física, menor participación familiar y mayor influencia de sus iguales. Asimismo, las chicas reflejaron menor autoestima, satisfacción, resistencia y capacidad de actividad física que los chicos. Por otro lado, a medida que aumentaba la edad de los participantes, referían menor salud y seguridad en el hogar, mayor riesgo individual y mayor influencia de sus iguales. CONCLUSIÓN: El sobrepeso-obesidad repercute negativamente en la CVRS de los adolescentes. Consideramos importante evaluar los aspectos psicosociales desde la perspectiva del paciente para poder ofrecerle una atención personalizada y multidisciplinar

INTRODUCTION: Changes in lifestyle and diet have led to a progressive increase in the prevalence of overweight and obesity. This disorder can lead to significant physical and psychosocial effects that affect the health related quality of life (HRQOL). Adolescence is a time of great vulnerability and very decisive in personality development. The objective of this study was to assess the influence of weight status on HRQoL in adolescents. Population and methods: A cross-sectional study conducted on adolescents of 12-16 years old and an assessment of HRQOL using the CHIP-Adolescents Edition questionnaires. RESULTS: Out of a total of 89 adolescents included, 60.7% had a normal weight and 39.3% were overweight-obese. The normal weight participants had a higher mean age than overweightobesity participants, 14.2 vs. 13.6 years old, respectively. There were no other differences in sociodemographic characteristics between groups. Overweight-obese adolescents had a worse HRQoL, specifically as regards less resilience, lower capacity for physical activity, less family involvement, and greater peer influence. Moreover, the girls showed a lower self-esteem, satisfaction, resilience and physical activity than boys. Furthermore, less home safety and health, higher individual risk and greater peer influence was reported with increasing age of participants. CONCLUSION: Overweight-obesity negatively affects the HRQoL of adolescents. It is important to evaluate the psychosocial aspects from the perspective of the adolescents, in order to offer them a complete, personalized and multidisciplinary care
