GUIMARAES FRANCA, Silvana Lima; SAHADE, Viviane; NUNES, Mônica  y  ADAN, Luis F.. Adherence to nutritional therapy in obese adolescents: a review. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2013, vol.28, n.4, pp.988-998. ISSN 1699-5198.  https://dx.doi.org/10.3305/nh.2013.28.4.6481.

Considering the controversies existent on the subject, the aim of this review is to discuss adherence to diet in obese adolescents. The selection of articles was made in the SCOPUS, COCHRANE, APA Psyc Net, SciELO, LILACS, CAPES Journals, PUBMED/MEDLINE and GOOGLE ACADEMIC databases. Studies published between 2002 and 2012 were selected. There was lack of evidence of conceptual discussion about adherence to diet in obesity in the child-youth context, in addition to scarcity of data on adherence to diet itself in obese adolescents and the methods of evaluating this. Lastly, multiple interdependent factors were found which both facilitated and made the process of adherence to diet difficult for obese youngsters. The majority of these (factors) belong to the socioeconomic and cultural dimension, in addition to pointing out cognitive and psychological factors and those associated with health services and professionals.

Palabras clave : Adherence; Obesity; Adolescent; Diet.
