Objective: To evaluate the association between cardiovascular risk factors and the anthropometric values -body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC). Methods:It was studied 231 employees of Federal University of Viçosa, Brazil, 54,1% of them were men (21-76 years old) were measured. Glycemia, total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, blood pressure, BMI, WC, waist-to-hip ratio and body fatness. It was also investigated smoking, alcohol consumption and physical activity. Results:The prevalence of overweight/obesity in this population was high mainly in women. The abdominal obesity was observed in 74% of the women and 46,1% of the men. The average of BMI, body fatness, total cholesterol, HDL and triglycerides were significantly higher in men than in women. (p < 0,05). The sedentary lifestyle was a risk factor for obesity. Smoking and alcohol consumption were more common among men and normal weight volunteers. Most of the correlations between anthropometric indices and risk factors for cardiovascular diseases were significant, but weak and the WC was the index that had the strongest correlation and that associated with the largest number of variables. It was observed that with an increase of the BMI and the abdominal fat, there was also an increase of the glycemia, triglycerides and blood pressure and a decrease of HDL. The metabolic syndrome was more common among men and overweight and obese volunteers. Conclusion:In this study, the frequency of cardiovascular risk factors increased along with BMI and WC. Demographic transition, mainly characterized by a decrease in fecundity and reduction in infant and preschooler mortality, has resulted in an increasingly higher life expectancy in the Brazilian population 1

“…Neste sentido, as medidas de controle e prevenção dos riscos modificáveis para a população estudada estão situadas na esfera da adoção de estilo de vida e da alimentação saudável, ainda que não tenha sido encontrada associação entre estas variáveis incluídas no modelo e o excesso de peso e/ou gordura abdominal. Estas são reconhecidas como estratégias capazes de reduzir a expressiva parcela das mortes prematuras e o impacto negativo na qualidade de vida dos indivíduos 33 , atributos que podem também ser destacados para o sobrepeso enquanto evento que precede a obesidade. …”

SummaryObjectives: To estimate hypertension prevalence and identify associated socioeconomic, demographic, and anthropometric variables.Methods: urban area of Formiga, Minas Gerais state, and registered with the Family Health Program (Programa Saúde da Família -PSF), which covers 94% of the population. Two hundred and eighty-five subjects (131 men and 154 women) were was used to collect socioeconomic and demographic data, as well as information on alcohol consumption, smoking, and physical activity level. Using appropriate techniques, trained interviewers with at least one year of experience in health care collected data and performed pertinent measurements (blood pressure, heart rate, plus waist and arm circumference). Conclusion: Hypertension prevalence was very high in the adult population registered with the PSF in Formiga, representing a major public health problem. Intervention programs that boost physical activity, promote compliance with drug treatment, and focus on hypertensive subjects unaware of their condition are needed. Results
