Objective: To demonstrate that the use of antipsychotics is a factor associated with obesity in patients treated at Hospital Belén de Trujillo. Material and Methods: We carried out an analytical, observational, retrospective, cohort study. The study population consisted of 126 adult patients; Which were divided into 2 groups: users of antipsychotics or nonusers of antipsychotics; The relative risk and chi-square test were calculated. Results: The frequency of obesity in patients taking antipsychotics was 31%. The frequency of obesity in non-users of antipsychotics was 12%. The use of antipsychotics is a factor associated with obesity with a relative risk of 2.6 which was significant (p <0.05). The body mass index of patients taking antipsychotics was significantly higher than in the group of non-users of antipsychotics (p <0.05). Conclusions: The use of antipsychotics is a factor associated with obesity in patients treated at Hospital Belén de Trujillo.
