| description | <strong>Foundation:</strong> people who suffer from human immunodeficiency virus have a higher risk of developing comorbidities due to the presence of overweight and obesity. With the application of antiretroviral therapy, an increase in the development of obesity has been observed, although some studies attribute these effects to dietary factors. <strong><br />Objective:</strong> to explore in a group of patients carrying the human immunodeficiency virus the presence of overweight and obesity and eating disorders from body perception. <strong><br />Methods:</strong> a descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in which the nutritional status of 100 % of the population who attended medical care at the Comprehensive Hospital Care Service of the State of Mexico in the period March June 2023 (N 50) was classified accordingly. to body mass index. A questionnaire was applied to detect risky eating behaviors, consisting of 10 items on a Likert-type scale, the total sum of which considers that above 6 points a risky eating behavior is established. The body silhouette test was applied, which allows us to know if there is an overvaluation or undervaluation of real weight.<strong><br />Results:</strong> a high prevalence of overweight and obesity is shown in this group of patients, as well as a significant percentage with a positive test for eating disorders and an underestimated body perception predominantly in the male gender. <strong><br />Conclusions:</strong> there was a high prevalence of overweight and obesity in patients, a significant percentage with a positive test for eating disorders and an underestimated body perception, essentially in the male gender. |
