OBJECTIVE: To determine the current epidemiological situation, prevention and management of @entity1 and youth @entity28 based on the best scientific evidence available. METHODOLOGY: Literature search in PubMed, Cochrane, Science Direct, ENFISPO, Lilacs and SciELO, selecting articles about @entity1 and youth @entity28 , its prevention and treatment. RESULTS: @entity1 and youth @entity28 is a multifactorial chronic disease that it has been increasing, tending to stay in adolescence and adulthood with greater intensity than more early starts. The data vary from country to country, although most articles are governed by body mass index (BMI). Pediatric overweight is defined by a BMI percentiles located between 91-98 and @entity28 by a percentile equal or greater than 99. Its prevalence varies according to time, geography, age, gender and race. The prevalence rates of @entity28 in Spain are one of the highest around the world. The overweight prevalence is lower slightly and there is no difference in gender. Its implications include the @entity209 and @entity6 II. Unanimously, the combination of interventions on life and dietary habits and physical activity is important for the management of @entity28 and overweight. CONCLUSION: Currently, the @entity28 management requires a generalized approach, with changes in lifestyle, diet and physical activity. The best solution for reducing this epidemic lies in prevention rather than treatment.
