    <abstract xml:lang="es">Resumen
Introducci&oacute;n. Numerosos estudios han relacionado la obesidad y el sobrepeso con s&iacute;ntomas f&iacute;sicos, psicol&oacute;gicos y sociales, pero son escasos los trabajos que examinan la presencia de s&iacute;ntomas som&aacute;ticos en ni&ntilde;os con exceso de peso.
Objetivo. Conocer si existen diferencias en la manifestaci&oacute;n de s&iacute;ntomas som&aacute;ticos en preadolescentes de 10 a 12 a&ntilde;os en funci&oacute;n de su categor&iacute;a ponderal (normopeso y sobrepeso/obesidad), as&iacute; como en otras variables relacionadas con la enfermedad (veces en el &uacute;ltimo mes que han estado enfermos, que han acudido al m&eacute;dico o que han faltado a clase por estar enfermos y existencia de enfermedades en los miembros de su familia).
M&eacute;todo. Se trata de un estudio transversal de casos y controles en el que participaron 668 preadolescentes, de los que 301 presentaban normopeso y 367 exceso de peso (obesidad o sobrepeso). Los participantes completaron el Children&rsquo;s Somatization Inventory que examina la presencia de s&iacute;ntomas gastrointestinales, pseudoneurol&oacute;gicos y dolor. Para el an&aacute;lisis de los datos se llev&oacute; a cabo un an&aacute;lisis multivariado de la varianza.
Resultados. No se hallaron diferencias significativas en funci&oacute;n de la categor&iacute;a ponderal en la manifestaci&oacute;n de s&iacute;ntomas som&aacute;ticos. Las diferencias fueron significativas &uacute;nicamente en funci&oacute;n del sexo, presentando las ni&ntilde;as m&aacute;s s&iacute;ntomas gastrointestinales que los ni&ntilde;os (F [1,666] = 8.71; p = .003). Al examinar la sintomatolog&iacute;a en cada subgrupo, se hallaron diferencias entre los ni&ntilde;os con normopeso y obesidad/sobrepeso, mostrando estos &uacute;ltimos m&aacute;s falta de energ&iacute;a o cansancio (&chi;2 = 5.35; p &lt; .05), dificultad para respirar (&chi;2 = 7.51; p &lt; .01), convulsiones (&chi;2 = 4.12; p &lt; .05) y mala digesti&oacute;n (&chi;2 = 4.89; p &lt; .05). Adem&aacute;s, fue mayor el porcentaje de ni&ntilde;os con normopeso que no tiene ning&uacute;n familiar enfermo respecto a los que presentaron obesidad o sobrepeso (&chi;2 = 2.47; p &lt; .01).
Discusi&oacute;n y conclusi&oacute;n. En su conjunto, los resultados confirman la necesidad de valorar de forma exhaustiva y multidisciplinar la sintomatolog&iacute;a f&iacute;sica y psicol&oacute;gica de los ni&ntilde;os y ni&ntilde;as obesos y con sobrepeso, para poder ofrecer una intervenci&oacute;n exitosa, no s&oacute;lo centrada en la reducci&oacute;n de peso, sino en la mejora de su calidad de vida.</abstract>

Introduction. Numerous studies have linked obesity and overweight with physical, psychological and social symptoms, but few of them have examined the presence of somatic symptoms in children or adolescents with obesity or overweight.
Objective. To examine somatic symptoms in preadolescents from 10 to 12 years old depending on their weight category (normal weight and overweight/obesity), as well as other variables related to the disease (times that preadolescents had been sick, had gone to the doctor or had been absent to class for having a disease in the last month, and existence of diseases in the members of their family).
Method. A cross-sectional study was carried out with 668 pre-adolescents; 301 of them showed normal weight and 367 showed overweight or obesity. They completed the Children&rsquo;s Somatization Inventory that examines gastrointestinal symptoms, pseudoneurological symptoms, and pain. A multivariate analysis of the variance was performed to analyse the data.
Results. No significant differences in gastrointestinal symptoms, pseudoneurological symptoms and pain in function of the weight category were found. Differences were only significant in function of gender, showing girls more gastrointestinal symptoms than boys (F [1,666] = 8.71; p = .003). When examining each somatic symptom, differences were found depending on the weight category, showing participants with overweight or obesity more fatigue (&chi;2 = 5.35; p &lt; .05), breathing problems (&chi;2 = 7.51; p &lt; .01), seizures (&chi;2 = 4.12; p &lt; .05), and poor digestion (&chi;2 = 4.89; p &lt; .05). The percentage of participants with overweight or obesity who had a sick relative was higher comparing to those with normal weight (&chi;2 = 2.47; p &lt; .01).
Discussion and conclusion. Overall, the results highlight the importance of examining physical and psychological symptoms in pre-adolescents with overweight or obesity to develop a successful intervention focused not only on the weight reduction but also in the improvement of their quality of life.</trans-abstract>
