La obesidad desde el modelo biomédico, las ciencias sociales y las ciencias de la complejidad

Palabras clave: obesidad, estigma, sistemas complejos

Resumen

Las organizaciones internacionales de salud y las instituciones médicas han declarado en los últimos años que la obesidad es una enfermedad, un problema de salud pública e incluso una epidemia mundial. Esto con base en los datos estadísticos y su influencia en otras condiciones que causan morbimortalidad importante e impacto económico. Este reconocimiento de la obesidad como una enfermedad ha sido bien recibido por las asociaciones médicas, al considerar que asegura una mayor investigación y promueve el acceso de las personas a los servicios de atención en salud con miras a mejorar el bienestar de los pacientes y a mitigar los efectos globales. Sin embargo, las ciencias sociales lo han criticado porque también ha suscitado estigma y discriminación contra las personas con exceso de peso y no han dado soluciones efectivas al problema. En este artículo se describen algunos aspectos relevantes del modelo biomédico de la obesidad, los aportes desde las ciencias sociales y a partir de allí se propone una visión desde las ciencias de la complejidad que propongan soluciones innovadoras.
