Item Importancia de los programas de intervención de obesidad en adultos como estrategia de promoción y prevención: revisión sistemática(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Leal Galvis Angye Marcela; López Domínguez Veya Estefani; Ochoa Tafurt Tatiana; Molano Agudelo, Pedro Andrés (Director)Obesity is a chronic disease whose prevalence and incidence are increasing significantly; largely influenced by globalization and the increasing consumption of ultra-processed foods and sugary drinks, in addition to sedentary lifestyle, among others; in overweight or obese individuals, particularly those with morbidities, weight loss greater than or equal to 5% in the long term, whether with diet, exercise or medication, is associated with improvement in several cardiovascular and cardiometabolic risk factors (1). The clinical management of the patient with obesity involves a therapeutic challenge that requires a holistic and personalized approach. The implementation of programs that address obesity from a transversal approach is essential to combat not only excess weight, but also the various concomitant conditions that affect the patient's health; and therefore, it becomes the appropriate tool for health promotion and disease prevention in healthcare settings. In this context, a systematic literature review was conducted with the aim of presenting evidence to justify the contribution and importance of outpatient obesity programs, presenting information on their structure and approach, addressing strategies that allow for comprehensive management, from health promotion and disease prevention. To carry out this review, the OVID, LILACS and PubMed databases were used, using the date of publication, language, type of article and accessibility as eligibility criteria. This systematic review showed that outpatient obesity programs not only impact patients' weight, but also influence BMI, waist circumference, and cardiovascular risk. In addition, it was determined that, as a strategy, health education interventions, individualized management, and the use of pharmacological therapy have proven to be useful. Likewise, they constitute spaces for health care around health promotion and disease prevention, since they bring together interventions and guidelines necessary for primary health care to address obesity by identifying and intervening in risk factors, early diagnosis and treatment, as well as delaying its progression and preventing the appearance of complications and comorbidities.
