Description
Summary:	School bullying or bullying is a social problem that has increased in such a way that it represents a worldwide concern, from which Cuba is not exempt. This paper reflects on the conditions and risks that can generate negative consequences in vulnerable people to suffer this type of aggression. Depression, anxiety and certain physical and social conditions stand out in those affected and, among these, the suffering from obesity that could increase, as a cumulative risk, sleep disorders in children and adolescents. A review was carried out about the possible impacts of linking obesity and bullying in terms of sleep disorders in children and adolescents. It is concluded that there is an association between obesity, bullying and the risk of suffering from sleep disorders, which, fundamentally from Primary Health Care, should be considered so that the corresponding protocols can be detected and applied to this population at risk and its environment, for which psycho-pedagogical actions and intersectoral coordination are recommended.
