Resumen
Childhood obesity is a public health problem, since in the last 20 years the number of cases has increased considerably worldwide, becoming a pandemic that affects the health of children chronically, in the medium and long term. According to the 2014 report of the Commission on Ending Childhood Obesity of the World Health Organization (WHO) in the world the number of children under 5 years of age suffering from overweight or obesity increased from 32 million in 1990 to 42 million in 2013, and the World Bank reports that in low and middle income countries the prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity in preschoolers exceeds 30%; if this trend continues, the number of overweight children under 5 years of age will increase to 70 million in 2025 (WHO, 2020). In Mexico, the biopsychosocial factors that pediatric patients with overweight and obesity have in common are unknown, so this article reviews different proposals to address the intervention in this population and the contextual factors that may be involved in order to generate a real change in the approach to this disease and that this is reflected in the decrease of its incidence.
