This research set out to identify the psychological and physical variables associated with PIU and examine the influence of PIU on these variables. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted in the Web of Science and Scopus databases. The review found 51 studies with a total sample size of 136,760 subjects, while 12 studies were identified for the meta-analysis. The results showed that the main psychological and physical variables associated with PIU are a lack of self-control, anxiety, low self-esteem, low levels of physical activity, and low academic self-efficacy. However, the meta-analysis found that only PIU – for which statistically significant differences were observed – was a predictor of anxiety and low self-esteem. Lastly, this paper discusses the practical implications of this research and the need for preventive action and education on the proper use of technology. El Uso Problemático de Internet (UPI) está siendo habitual entre los estudiantes universitarios. En este trabajo se propuso identificar las variables psicológicas y físicas asociadas al UPI y analizar su influencia en dichas variables. Se empleó una metodología de revisión sistemática con metanálisis, en las bases de datos Web of Science y Scopus. En la revisión se identificaron 51 estudios que incluyeron una muestra total de 136 760 sujetos. En cambio, para el metanálisis se identificaron 12 estudios. Los resultados mostraron que las principales variables psicológicas y físicas asociadas al UPI son la falta de autocontrol, ansiedad, baja autoestima, baja actividad física y baja autoeficacia académica. Sin embargo, el metanálisis recogió que sólo el UPI, donde se obtuvieron diferencias estadísticamente significativas, fue predictor de la ansiedad y baja autoestima. Por último, se discuten las implicaciones prácticas del trabajo y la necesidad de prevenir y educar en el buen uso de la tecnología. Universidad Autónoma de Baja California.
