Abstract

Objective: to reflect on the risk behaviors predictive of obesity from the conceptual perspective of the philosopher Alfred Schutz. Methods: theoretical reflection organized into two central categories: I. Characterization of the philosopher and his references; II.  Risk behaviors predictive of obesity in adolescents under Schutz's conceptions. Results: Schutz's personal and academic biography and the framework that underpinned his philosophy were portrayed. The "world of life" of adolescents was discussed, and reflections were made that associate Schultz's postulates such as motivations, represented by "reasons why" and "reasons for", with the main behaviors that trigger obesity in adolescents.  Final considerations: through the assertions made by the philosopher in question, it is possible to identify themes present in the universe of adolescents with obesity that are relevant for understanding the phenomenon and outlining possible interventions in the areas of obesity prevention and control.
