Methods: cross-sectional study with a sample of 5,556 adults between 18 and 69 years of age. We assessed weight, height and waist circumference. Socioeconomic variables were evaluated by family income, socioeconomic stratum and academic level achieved. Results: we found that in men and women the height reached in adulthood is associated with socioeconomic conditions as measured by the socioeconomic strata and family income. In women, height, age, and socioeconomic strata are associated with obesity, overweight and risk of obesity, and risk of metabolic complications. Conclusion: These results are not only from individual unhealthy habits, such as eating patterns based on high density foods combined with low energy expenditure, but also from the cumulative effect of food deprivation throughout life. Therefore, policies intended to prevent them should take a preventive approach that begins before birth and continues during childhood and adulthood. Objetivo: Observar las relaciones entre estatus socioeconómico, estatura y problemas nutricionales de sobrepeso, obesidad, riesgo de complicaciones metabólicas en hombres y mujeres de Medellín. Métodos: estudio transversal, descriptivo con una muestra de 5,556 adultos con edades entre 18 y 69 años. Se evaluaron peso, estatura y perímetro de cintura. Como variables socioeconómicas se evaluaron los ingresos familiares, el estrato socioeconómico y el nivel educativo. Resultados: Se encontró que en hombres y mujeres la estatura alcanzada está asociada con las condiciones socioeconómicas medidas por estrato e ingresos familiares. En las mujeres la estatura alcanzada, la edad y el estrato están asociados con la obesidad, el sobrepeso y los riesgos de complicaciones metabólicas. Conclusión: la obesidad, el sobrepeso y el riesgo de complicaciones metabólicas en la adultez son el resultado no solo de hábitos individuales no saludables como patrón alimentario basado en alimentos altamente energéticos, sumado a bajo gasto calórico, sino también a una acumulación de privaciones alimentarias a lo largo de la vida y deben ser intervenidas antes del nacimiento y durante la infancia y la adultez. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Colombia Medica is the property of Universidad del Valle and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
