Abstract: The obesity is a chronic illness, considered an epidemic worldwide, and an even greater growth is expected, which will strike all age groups. This complication is related to the morbidity and mortality, as it is the cause and risk factor to plenty of chronic illnesses such as: breathing problems, dyslipidemias, cancer, vesicle calculation, diabetes mellitus type 2. With that scenario, the objective of this study was to relate obesity to diabetes mellitus type 2, giving some emphasis to nutrition and physical activity through a bibliographic review, using plenty of databases. Modifications in the nutritive consumption (increase of intake of rich and energetic food) and sedentariness are the main factors which explain the growth and prevalence of obesity and diabetes mellitus type 2. Genetic changes, by themselves, could hardly explain the appearance of such illnesses. Therefore, nutrition and physical activity are not only part of the treatment but also of the prevention of both complications, which explains the great importance of them. Changes in the life style (diet and exercise) have shown themselves to be more effective to prevent the risk of evolving to diabetes compared to the treatments, so far, which have used pharmacological measures with the same objective.
