Sumario:The prevalence of obesity depends on biopsychosocial and environmental factors, and it is a risk factor for non-communicable and communicable diseases such as COVID-19. Objective: To determine the association between sociodemographic and lifestyle characteristics and the development of obesity and its metabolic comorbidities (MC). Observational-population-cross-sectional study in 306 individuals >18 years of age from San Luis Argentina. Age, sex, educational and socioeconomic level (EL and SES: low/medium/high), level of physical activity (METs/day), energy intake (Cal/day), obesity (BMI>30kg/m2) and self-reported MC (diabetes, arterial hypertension [AHT], dyslipidemia and heart disease). Multiple logistic regression models were adjusted including the presence of obesity and MC as outcome, and sociodemographic and lifestyle characteristics as covariates. 26.8% had at least one disease (17.3% obesity, 3% diabetes, 11% hypertension, 3.3% dyslipidemia, 13% heart disease). Having medium EL increased the chance of presenting heart disease, compared to high (OR 5.3; p=0.03). A low EL was associated with obesity (OR 3.58; p=0.04), and its MC (p<0.05). The chance of presenting diabetes increased by 17% as the BMI increased (p=0.01). Women presented more chances of having AHT (p=0.04) and heart disease (p=0.03). Medium-low NI, age and being a woman are associated with the development of MC.
