La obesidad es una enfermedad caracterizada por un cúmulo de grasa neutra en el tejido adiposo superior al 20% del peso corporal de una persona en dependencia de la edad, la talla y el sexo debido a un balance energético positivo mantenido durante un tiempo prolongado. Es un trastorno multifactorial en cuya etiopatogenia están implicados factores genéticos, metabólicos, psicosociales y ambientales.
La obesidad infantil es uno de los factores de riesgo vinculados al aumento de enfermedad cardiovascular en el adulto, junto con la hipertensión, el sedentarismo, el tabaquismo y la hipercolesterolemia.

The prevalence of obesity has been increasing in recent decades, considered a global epidemic and is the most prevalent non-communicable disease worldwide.
