Abstract

Obesity is a constantly growing problem since 2016, with an impact in the last 2 years where most people lived a very sedentary life that affected their metabolism and led them to be overweight, in addition to the direct relationship that exists between people with a low socioeconomic level and the prevalence of overweight, due to problems of low education and poverty.
