Abstract:

The object of this study was the risk factors for the development of obesity in adolescence. The objective of this study was to identify the risk factors of obesity in adolescents, through an Integrative Literature Review. The PICO strategy was used to make the following guiding question: What are the risk factors for the development of obesity in adolescence? The research portals consulted were VHL and EBSCOhost, resulting in a study corpus with 25 articles. The phenomenon of obesity was understood as a result of biological, social, psychological and nutritional factors. The articles did not show a consensus on the risks and benefits, which hinders the development of recommendations of evidence.The study allowed identifying proposals likely to be implemented, such as the modification of eating habits, weight control and the practice of physical exercises. Such behavioral modification can be recommended for the family, schools and health services contexts. The review allows for recommending prevention strategies and thinking of school as a rich space for health promotion through education. From the point of view of political and social development, there is need to face advertisements of the food industry that attract young people to consume processed foods high in fat and sugar.
