Resumen

Antecedentes: las funciones ejecutivas tienen un papel importante en la regulación del comportamiento humano y pueden ser un determinante en la conducta alimentaria. El objetivo fue estudiar diferentes componentes de las funciones ejecutivas en individuos obesos en espera de tratamiento clínico, comparándolos con individuos con normopeso con características sociodemográficas similares. Método: participaron 114 adultos (76 obesos y 38 con normopeso) que completaron una batería neuropsicológica que incluyó tareas de conceptualización y abstracción, programación motora, manutención de respuesta, control inhibitorio, resolución de tareas, flexibilidad cognitiva y fluencia verbal. Resultados: existen diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los grupos en todas las tareas del funcionamiento ejecutivo evaluadas. El grupo de los obesos obtuvo puntuaciones más bajas que el grupo con normopeso. Conclusiones: los individuos sujetos obesos revelan peor funcionamiento ejecutivo que los con normopeso.
