ABSTRACT
Obesity in adolescents in Manzanillo constitutes an incipient and complex health problem without sufficient perception of it. With the aim of determining the clinical-epidemiological aspects associated with obesity in adolescents at clinic No. 602, at the René Vallejo Ortiz polyclinic in Manzanillo, in the period from January 2016 to January 2017, a cross-sectional study was conducted or prevalence of adolescents aged between 11 to 19 years. Data processing and analysis was carried out from the information provided in the database created with the Microsoft Office Excel program, which was carried out by means of the summary study of absolute and relative frequencies. In the analysis of association between qualitative variables, Pearson's non-parametric test of independence and the odds ratio test were used. The risk factors that condition obesity include having been a macro-fetus during pregnancy (OR = 5.95), a history of obesity in the family (OR = 3.66), and a history of lipid disorders in the parents (OR = 2, 83). In order to solve the problem of obesity in adolescents, new strategies are required to control the disease, improve the health status of this population and increase the health indicators of the area in question.REFERENCES
