To evaluate the nutritional state, it was used the Body Mass Index (BMI) and the Waist Circumference (WC) and the analysis of the diet was made through last 24-hours meals remember. We observed that 65.4% of the sample was overweight, 32.3% was in a normal level and 2.3% indicated low weight. Related to the risk factors, that we evaluated through the abdominal circumference, 38.5% of the women were in a normal level, 20.8% were in an increased risk level and 40.8% in a very increased risk level, results that classificate 61.6% of the studied population risking to develop cardiovascular illnesses. We evidenced some strong association between the Body Mass Index and the Abdominal Circumference (p<0.05). Evaluating it alimentary diet of the aged ones, noticed that, on average the consumption of calories is of 1440,56 (+39,04), the average consumption of total and insaturated fat in relation to the total energy value had been of 29,28% (+8,87) and 13.31% (+5,77) respectively. The alimentary cholesterol average was of 156 mg (+91,62) and staple fibres, 16,84 g (+8,87). An analysis some more detailed becomes necessary and efficient intervention looking for an improvement in the lipidic profile and the general health characteristics of this population</p><p></p> 2019-12-18 03:31:04 dietary fats risk factors cardiovascular diseases women elderly nutrition body mass index abdominal circumference food consumption feeding behavior
