ABSTRACT

Objective: To assess aggression, victimization, self-esteem and family typology in school students who are overweight and obese. Material and methods: Transversal, descriptive. Inclusion criteria: school students aged 7-16 with overweight/obesity, exclusion criteria: do not sign informed consent. Sample size: 235 schoolchildren, confidence interval (CI): 90%, proportion: 0.25, amplitude CI: 0.10. Variables: age, sex, BMI, weekly physical activity, violence, victimization, aggression, self-esteem, family typology. Results: School children come from simple nuclear families in 50.70%. Typology by development: 41.4% modern, weekly physical activity: 43.8% do not practice, 27.6% do one to two hours per week. Almost the entire population presented some degree of victimization, 70.6% suffered some degree of aggression and violence. Female sex: 20.4% with low self-esteem, a quarter who are overweight and obese have low self-esteem. In the simple and traditional nuclear family, 36.1% and 28.9% suffered violence, respectively. Conclusions: Being overweight/obese has a 29.3% probability of suffering violence. The female sex tends to be aggressor and victim in a 2:1 ratio. More than half of the victims also exert some degree of aggression and tend to become aggressors in the future. Three quarters had a medium level of self-esteem, the association between being a victim of violence and exercising aggression affects their self-esteem in only a quarter of the students studied.
