Abstract
This review article discusses the impact of anxiety, body weight, and social skills on the academic and social integration of college students. Based on six primary articles, it explores the effects of social anxiety, stigmatization associated with body weight, and negative self-image on interpersonal interactions. It also examines gaps in current strategies, including psychological therapies, group physical activities, and educational programs. The influence of the cultural and geographical context is examined in a particular case study of Peruvian medical students. Finally, the article proposes comprehensive interventions that combine psychological, physical, and social strategies to address these challenges and improve students' emotional and social well-being. This study underscores the necessity of inclusive and culturally adapted approaches within the university setting.
