LOPEZ MORALES, J. L. e GARCES DE LOS FAYOS RUIZ, E. J.. Towards a comprehensive integration of obesity from an interdisciplinar perspective. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2012, vol.27, n.6, pp.1810-1816. ISSN 1699-5198. https://dx.doi.org/10.3305/nh.2012.27.6.5882.
This article summarizes the current situation of one of the most important XXI century epidemics. The high rates of obesity in all countries and specially in our country at early ages are worrying. Traditionally, investigations have focused on the most nutritional aspects, such us dietary factors, metabolism, calory intake and energy expenditure. However, other sciences -such as Psychology- point out new influencing factors, such as food addiction, depression, stress and anxiety. In this piece of work, more than 80 articles from all disciplines and different databases and related to obesity are analyzed, as well as a new theoretical approach is proposed to ensure a more accurate comprehension. The literature review shows the necessary evidence to introduce a new model of obesity named edorexia, and raise issues to be resolved in future research oriented from a multidisciplinary perspective.
