Abstract
The body health condition with overweight and obesity shows a double risk to the individual, as a factor for the generation of other problems such as Diabetes or hypertension and in itself a risk factor in cancer and mental disorders such as binge eating. At any stage of development, obesity is a risky health condition that affects both women and men. In older adults it is related to cognitive, systemic-organic deficits and chronic degenerative diseases. The present work is a bibliographic review of the condition of obesity in elderly people and the related factors, among which are social, cultural, interpersonal relationships and lifestyle.
