ABSTRACT

In Mexico, seven out of 10 adults are overweight and are obese, this has multifactorial causes, but little has been investigated about those experiences and behaviors of people with obesity, because importance is given to medical factors and the general analysis of personality from the psychology. The objective of this study is to determine the differences in risk behaviors (bulimia and suicidal thoughts) and problems due to obesity among overweight and obese people. The subjects were 382 people from a Family Medicine Unit of the IMSS of the State of Mexico, who were determined their Body Mass Index (BMI) and were classified as overweight (BMI = 25-30) and obesity (BMI = 30- › 40). They were given a questionnaire with a dichotomous answer of 12 questions related to problems they faced and risk behaviors. The results and analysis of the data indicate that the more overweight and obese people experience more problems that involve greater anxiety, risk practices (bulimia and suicidal thoughts) and accept more their obesity as a form of cognitive dissonance to deal with the anxiety. The multidisciplinary care of physical health professionals, psychologists and psychiatrists is proposed.
