Abstract

Objective: To determine the main affectations in the physical and psycho-emotional aspects in
women with obesity, to know the different ways in which they perceive and think about this
health problem today. Materials and Methods: Quantitative, cross-sectional descriptive and
non-probabilistic study, the Emotional Eating Questionnaire and the Garaulet Body Attitudes
Test were applied to 152 women between 19 and 64 years of age with obesity who reside in the
Nueva Esperanza neighborhood, during the year 2022. Results: There is a moderate correlation
between the eating behaviors and the attitudes towards the body of the women who
participated in the research with a correlation coefficient of 0.576 (p. value=0.000), that is to say
that the obese women in the study who present alteration in their eating behavior are likely to
have greater rejection or negative attitudes towards their own body. Discussion: Various
studies corroborate that women with obesity tend to present emotional eating behaviors and a
negative attitude towards their body, for which it is necessary to carry out programs to prevent
and reduce obesity.
