title: [Overweight and obesity in Chilean women. A multivariate characterization based on psychophysiologic indicators].

Aside from confirming the discrimination between obese, and normal-weight women through psychometric indicators including a personality evaluation, and a verbal affective expression assessment, the power of multivariate methods for improving diagnosis is illustrated.
