Resumen
Objetivo: Analizar los programas de promoción y prevención que han sido utilizados para el abordaje de la obesidad infantil, desde tres aspectos: modalidades, estrategias y actores involucrados; en pro de la generación de respuestas a esta problemática de salud pública. Métodos: Revisión sistemática de estudios desarrollados en 14 países entre 2007 a 2013, publicados en cinco bases de datos –LILACS, IBECS, PubMed, Cochrane y SciELO–. Se utilizaron los términos MeSH –Health Promotion – Obesity - Children– y ecuaciones de búsqueda tanto en inglés como en español. Resultados: Se encontraron 1030 artículos, de los cuales 48 cumplieron con todos los criterios de inclusión. En estos se identificaron cuatro tendencias: diagnóstico (6 artículos), intervención (39 artículos), costo-efectividad de los programas (1 artículo) y políticas públicas (2 artículos). Conclusiones: Existen diferentes programas de promoción y prevención de la obesidad, los cuales han abordado estrategias que incluyen la práctica de la actividad física, orientaciones nutricionales, procesos educativos y abordajes integrales, a la vez estos han vinculado distintos actores, entre ellos, padres, docentes, organizaciones de salud, agentes políticos; sin embargo, aún no se ha logrado diseñar un programa generalizable puesto que guardan una estrecha relación con los patrones culturales de cada región.
