“…A nivel nacional, el principal problema de nutrición en adultos en Colombia es el sobrepeso y obesidad, desde el año 1995, la prevalencia de obesidad fue del 9 %; luego, en el año 2000, del 11 % y finalmente ENSIN, en 2005 y 2010, 13,7 % y 16, 1 %, respectivamente [37]. Según Velásquez et al, [37] las personas más afectadas por padecer obesidad son aquellas cuyo nivel de educación alcanza la básica primaria (18,2 %), seguido por el nivel secundaria y media secundaria (15,5 %), no obstante, determinaron que los individuos que no poseen estudios superiores, tienen una mayor prevalencia a la obesidad que aquellos que cuentan con estudios superiores.…”

“…El nivel de educación se ha reportado como un factor que reduce los riesgos sobre la obesidad, de esta manera, a medida en que la escolaridad asciende, las personas poseen un mayor acceso a la información, por lo tanto, les permite reconocer las condiciones que ocasionan alteraciones en la salud, y, por lo tanto, los riesgos de obesidad y las consecuencias de ello [37].…”

La obesidad y el sobrepeso son condiciones que han venido afectando al ser humano, con un gran incremento para el siglo XXI, en donde el nivel de educación se ha reportado como un factor que reduce los riesgos sobre la obesidad, dado que a mayor educación es posible reconocer las condiciones que ocasionan alteraciones en la salud, y, por lo tanto, los riesgos de obesidad. Los estudiantes enfermería representan un escenario diferente en cuanto a obesidad y sobrepeso, dados los horarios extendidos, la carga académica y actividad física. La presente revisión pretende conocer la prevalencia de obesidad y sobrepeso en estudiantes de enfermería en Colombia y el mundo, en los años comprendidos entre 2013 y 2018. La prevalencia de obesidad y sobrepeso en estudiantes de enfermería en Colombia fue relativamente menor a los índices internacionales. Sin embargo, los valores obtenidos resultan preocupantes pues, a pesar de que los estudiantes de enfermería deben conocer las repercusiones que tienen los malos hábitos alimenticios en su salud, aun se presentan casos de obesidad y sobrepeso en los mismos.

Introduction: In Colombia, the prevalence of adult obesity continues to increase. However, there is no evidence from reviews compiling the related literature from a sociodemographic and public health perspective. Objective: A scoping review of studies was undertaken to identify and describe the sociodemographic and public health dimensions of adult obesity in Colombia. Methodology: Articles were searched using the electronic databases PubMed, Scielo, and Lilacs, focusing on papers published between 2000 and 2021. The following criteria for inclusion were adopted: studies on obesity in adults over 18 years of age in Colombia; transversal, longitudinal, and quasi-cohort studies; and ecological and/or panel-type research carried out in Colombia. Results: Twenty-one studies were included in the scoping review. These were classified into five categories: designs and methods; the prevalence of obesity; sociodemographic variables such as educational levels and occupation; practices of public health interest; associated pathologies and health variables. According to the Newcastle-Ottawa scale, 76.2 % (n=16) of the studies were high quality and 23.8 % (n=5) of average quality. Conclusions: This scoping review highlights determinants such as socioeconomic status; education; environment; and public health diseases associated with the onset of obesity. Notably, no longitudinal, quasi-, or synthetic cohort studies were found. This research gap signals an opportunity for future investigations to explore this uncharted dimension of analysing obesity in Colombia, characterised by unique ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic particularities. This distinct context sets it apart from other Latin American countries, offering valuable insights for further exploration.

Background: The imminent increase in overweight and obesity prevalence constitutes a pervasive concern for the adult and pediatric Colombian population. Nonetheless, the unequal distribution across distinct social groups limits the implementation of public health policies targeting these escalating rates. Aim: This study aimed to compile existing evidence regarding the prevalence of overweight and obesity in relation to the socioeconomic status (SES) of the Colombian population. Methods: A scoping review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews parameters in MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE, and LILACS databases for inclusion of investigations published up to January 2024. Results: Twenty-two cross-sectional studies were included. A higher prevalence of overweight and obesity was documented in adults with lower SES defined by social stratum and monetary income, while in particular for nonpregnant adult women, the prevalence of excess weight was higher in the medium-low socioeconomic stratum. In the pediatric population, higher SES defined by social stratum was directly related to an increased prevalence and risk of overweight and obesity. The ownership of household assets, however, was positively related to the risk of overweight in both adult and pediatric populations. Conclusion: The findings of this investigation disclose a socioeconomic gradient in overweight and obesity in Colombia that resembles the epidemiological distribution in high-income countries for adults, though similar to low-income countries for the pediatric population. Further intersectoral interventions aimed at the most vulnerable groups are imperative to mitigate the inequalities that condition their predisposition to overweight and obesity.
