BACKGROUND: Evidence suggests a nutritional transition process in @entity1 with @entity29 . Obesity, which was once an uncommon occurrence in such @entity1 , has grown in this population at the same prevalence rate as that found in the general population, bringing with it an increased risk of @entity65 . Objective The aim of the present study was to determine the nutritional status and occurrence of cardiovascular risk factors in @entity1 with @entity29 . METHODS: A case-series cross-sectional study was conducted involving male and female adult outpatients with @entity29 . Data were collected on demographic, socioeconomic, clinical and anthropometric variables as well as the following cardiovascular risk factors: sedentary lifestyle, excess weight, @entity1144 , medications in use, comorbidities, @entity285 intake and smoking habits. The significance level for all statistical tests was set to 5% (P< 0.05). RESULTS: The sample comprised 80 @entity1 with @entity29 , 56 of whom (70.0%) had @entity31 and 24 of whom (30.0%) had @entity30 . Mean age was 40.3  11 years and the female genre accounted for 66.2% of the sample. High frequencies of excess weight (48.8%) and @entity1144 (52.5%) were identified based on the body mass index and waist circumference, respectively, in both groups, especially among those with @entity31 . Muscle depletion was found in 52.5% of the sample based on arm muscle circumference, with greater depletion among @entity1 with @entity30 (P=0.008). The most frequent risk factors for @entity65 were a sedentary lifestyle (83.8%), @entity1144 (52.5%) and excess weight (48.8%). CONCLUSION: The results of the complete anthropometric evaluation draw one's attention to a nutritional paradox, with high frequencies of both - muscle depletion, as well as excess weight and @entity1144 .
