RESUMEN

En las últimas décadas la obesidad se ha convertido en una epidemia mundial. Representa un factor de riesgo para condiciones con una alta mortalidad, como enfermedades cardiovasculares, diabetes y cáncer. Este artículo pretende poner al día las causas principales de su origen así como la relación entre el ambiente y el genoma en su desarrollo.
