QUIRANTES MORENO, Alberto Jesús; LOPEZ RAMIREZ, Mirtha; HERNANDEZ MELENDEZ, Edelsys  e  PEREZ SANCHEZ, América. Lifestyle, scientific and technical development and obesity. Rev Cubana Salud Pública [online]. 2009, vol.35, n.3, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3127.

The objective of this paper is to analyze the lifestyle and scientific-technical development roles on obesity and their impact on health and society. Unhealthy lifestyles that may be changed by individual behaviour such as sedentary lifestyle and bad nutritional habits contribute to body overweight and leads to obesity, which is a risk factor for the occurrence of chronic diseases like diabetes mellitus, ischemic cardiopathy and cancer. The scientific and technical development has allowed the improvement of living conditions, the humanization of working conditions and has facilitated home chores. This event, together with poor health policies, has encouraged sedentary lifestyle. Obesity has been recognized as an important nutritional and health problem worldwide and its progressive increase has been described as an emerging problem in the last few years.

Palavras-chave : Obesity; body overweight; lifestyle; scientific and technical development.
