    Obesity is considered a public health problem defined as the abnormal accumulation of fat that can be harmful to health. This condition has increased drastically over the past forty years. In 2014, over 1.9 billion adults aged 18 and older had overweight, with more than 600 million having obesity. The prevalence of obesity in adults over 18 years old is 39% for overweight and 13% for obesity. Physical inactivity is one of the determining factors for this health issue. The highest prevalence of inactivity is found in women worldwide (31.7% women and 23.4% men). The regions with the highest prevalence of physical inactivity are Latin American and Caribbean countries (39.1%), followed by Western countries (36.8%) and Asian countries (35.7%). In developed countries, physical inactivity is twice as high as in developing countries (36.8% vs. 16.2%). This study seeks to correlate physical activity levels and obesity using the short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and BMI formula, in a population of 200 people undergoing weight and height measurements.
