Resumen

FLOREZ-ARISTIZABAL, Laura Victoria  y  GONZALEZ-CORREA, Clara Helena. Mental and physical components in college students with obesity. Revista médica Risaralda [online]. 2018, vol.24, n.1, pp.4-8. ISSN 0122-0667.

the obesity is associated with comorbidities, within the biopsychosocial realm, affecting the quality of life. To confirm this hypothesis a fitness program was organized. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the program on the physical and mental components of its participants, whose were 58 young students from the University of Caldas (Colombia) with obesity. The results were measured with the Wilcoxon test and statistical significance of differences with p <0.05. On the other hand, the conditioning in physical and mental aspects were valued as extensive efforts (p=0.034), moderate exercise (p=0.034), self-rated health (p=0.003), perception of illness (p=0.049), vitality (p=0.012), mental health (p=0.09) and health transition (p=0.006). In conclusion, the physical aspects, which were the lowest at the beginning of the intervention, obtained more improvement; while the mental aspects, which were perceived as less restrictive, showed little difference.

Palabras clave : obesity; physical activity; mental health; quality of life; young adults.
