Resumen
Según la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), la obesidad infantil es uno de los problemas de salud pública más graves del siglo XXI.(1). El problema radica en que actualmente está afectando progresivamente a muchos países de bajos y medianos ingresos, incluyendo las ciudades colombianas, debido a su extenso desarrollo, empezando a ser considerada como una enfermedad con características epidemiológicas en los últimos años en cuanto, a la salud de los niños.
Objetivos: Calcular los casos de ansiedad social en pacientes pediátricos con obesidad o sobrepeso que se encuentran en Colombia. Determinar los patrones de ansiedad social que se presentan en pacientes pediátricos que padezcan sobrepeso u obesidad. Sugerir medidas preventivas y/o educacionales sobre obesidad y sobrepeso, y las problemáticas psicosociales que estos ocasionan en la población de Latinoamérica. Materiales y métodos: Mediante una revisión sistemática de

artículos publicados entre los años 2010-2020, sobre trastornos de alimentación y ansiedad presentes en infantes en Colombia. Resultado: En Colombia no hay suficiente datos y son escasos los estudios realizados, por lo que la disponibilidad que hay es muy pobre para realizar investigaciones más profundas sobre el tema. Sin embargo se logra reconocer la relación de tipo bidireccional que existe entre la obesidad y algunos factores psicológicos en infantes. Conclusión: se halla una intima relación entre los trastornos alimenticios, como la obesidad y los trastornos mentales, como la ansiedad. Son dos trastornos que van ligados el uno del otro, llevándose mutuamente al desarrollo de los mismos. Por lo que se considera necesario llamar a los entes gubernamentales primeramente para hacer campañas que promuevan el amor propio y la aceptación de sí mismos.
According to the World Health Organization (OMS), childhood obesity is one of the most serious public health problems of the 21st century (1). The problem is that it is currently progressively affecting many low- and middle-income countries, including Colombian cities, due to its extensive development, starting to be considered a disease with epidemiological characteristics in recent years in terms of the health of the children. Objectives: To calculate the cases of social anxiety in pediatric patients with obesity or overweight found in Colombia. To determine the patterns of social anxiety that occur in pediatric patients who are overweight or obese. Suggest preventive and / or educational measures on obesity and overweight, and the psychosocial problems that these cause in the population of Latin America. Materials and methods: Through a systematic review of articles published between 2010-2020, on eating disorders and anxiety present in infants in Colombia. Result: In Colombia there is not enough data and the studies carried out are scarce, so the availability that exists is very poor to carry out more in-depth research on the subject. However, it is possible to recognize the two-way relationship that exists between obesity and some psychological factors in infants. Conclusion: there is an intimate relationship between eating disorders, such as obesity, and mental disorders, such as anxiety. They are two disorders that are linked to each other, mutually leading to their development. Therefore, it is considered necessary to call government entities first to carry out campaigns that promote self-love and self-acceptance.
