A cross-sectional study was conducted with 79 patients at first appointment, with Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 35 kg/m2 and age ≥ 20 years. The following data was collected: demographic, socioeconomic, anthropometric, lifestyle, biochem- ical and food intake data. Average BMI was 48.3 ± 6.9 kg/m2. There was a significant negative cor- relation between education level and the variables of weight (r = -0.234) and BMI (r = -0.364) and per capita family income with daily consumption of leafy vegetables (r = -0.263). After multivariate analysis, higher per capita family income was asso- ciated with the absence of heart disease (PR: 0.51, CI95%: 0.32-0.81), higher daily consumption of leafy vegetables (PR: 1.79, CI95%: 1.16-2.75) and candy (PR: 3.12, CI95%: 1.21-8.04). In the mor- bidly obese, per capita household income was as- sociated with absence of heart disease and higher consumption of leafy vegetables and candy. On the other hand, education level was not associated with health and nutrition conditions.porAcesso AbertoMorbid obesityVegetablesCardiovascular diseasesSocial determinantsFood consumptionObesidade graveDoenças cardiovascularesVerdurasConsumo de alimentosDeterminantes sociaisArtigo10.1590/1413-81232014201.18982013
