By the means of this purpose, it was compared whether the lifestyle was related to obesity presented by public sector carriers in the Boquete district, by identifying risk factors according to lifestyle and the causes that caused it; within the chosen population. In addiion, the research is focused on theoretical references from different authors, who express their ideas regarding the social conditions of overweight and obesity. The research design is non-experimental with a descriptive and correlational study in which public sector transporters from the Boquete district are involved, using a probabilistic sample. In order to carry out this study, a survey was applied as an instrument to carriers and assistants on the external routes of the Boquete district. Also, the opinion of the administrative, busers and taxi drivers of the internal routes was taken into account, by means of a random survey. Similarly, an-interview was conducted with members of one of the cooperatives and with certain carriers, using non-probabilistic samples for convenience. As a result, it was possible to verify that there is a close relationship between the life style they present due to their daily sedentary lifestyle and obesity, suggesting that they should adjust to programs that allow them to control the health conditions they should adjust to programs that allow them to control the health conditiones they presented.La investigación es un estudio que lleva por nombre: “estilo de vida relacionado con la obesidad en transportistas del sector público, distrito Boquete”, para ello se comparó si el estilo de vida se relacionaba con la obesidad que presentan los transportistas del sector público del distrito Boquete, identificando los factores de riesgo según el estilo de vida y las causas que provocaban esta problemática en la población escogida.
