Abstract (English): Child obesity is a serious problem of public health in México. If we don't reverse it quickly, it will generate unsustainable economical consequences to the health institutions in this country, as well as serious health problems. This article reviews some psychological, social and cultural factors in the health-illness process, in particular in relation to food choices, the function of the family, and the food-related parental practices, changes in physical activity, and the role of media. As a conclusion, we can say it is very important to take into account psychological and cultural aspects, as well as the family as a whole in the creation of public policies in the fight against the obesity epidemic. Other fundamental aspect to bear in mind is the generation and effective monitoring of regulations on food advertising, particularly that aimed to children, and also in regards to a labelling of edible products accessible to all people. An interdisciplinary work is essential to generate synergies that help us to control obesity in the first place, and then to be able to reverse this problem, without disregarding the role of prevention.

Abstract (Spanish): La obesidad infantil constituye un grave problema de salud pública en México. De no revertir la problemática, rápidamente generará, además de graves problemas de salud, consecuencias económicas insostenibles para las instituciones de salud en nuestro país. En este artículo presentamos una revisión de algunos de los factores psicológicos, sociales y culturales que intervienen en la obesidad infantil y juvenil, como los aspectos culturales alrededor del proceso salud-enfermedad y, en particular, de la alimentación; el rol familiar y las prácticas que se generan en ese ámbito; los cambios en la actividad física, y los medios de comunicación. Se concluye que es de vital importancia tomar en consideración los aspectos psicológicos y culturales, así como a la familia en su conjunto, a fin de generar intervenciones y políticas públicas en el combate contra la obesidad. Otro aspecto que es de una importancia capital es la generación y la vigilancia efectiva de normativas en materia de publicidad alimentaria, en particular la dirigida a los niños, y en el etiquetado accesible a todo público de los productos comestibles. Es indispensable un trabajo interdisciplinario a fin de que se generen sinergias que nos ayuden a controlar la obesidad, para después poder revertir la obesidad infantil sin que olvidemos el papel de la prevención.
