Resumo
The scope of this work was to evaluate
the risk factors for chronic non-communicable
diseases (CNCDs) in subjects treated in the Nutri-
tion Education Program of the School of Physical
Education of the Federal University of Goiás. The
number of individuals evaluated was 79, namely
65 adults and 14 adolescents. Socio-economic data,
lifestyle and previous diseases were recorded by
using anamnesis, the feeding habits (FH) were
assessed by a food frequency questionnaire and the
anthropometric indexes used were body mass in-
dex (BMI) and waist circumference (WC). The
prevalence of overweight and obesity in the popu-
lation was 42.9% (n = 27) and the average WC of
adults was 82.67 ± 12.49, and 45.1% had increased
or very increased risk of cardiovascular diseases.
About 88.6% of the population reported the exist-
ence of CNCDs in the family. Most of the people
(75%) exercised regularly. Those who smoked also
drank alcohol frequently, and those that did not
smoke were the ones that exercised more. The in-
take of fruit and vegetables is practiced by 36.7%
and 63.3% of participants at least once a day, re-
spectively. The conclusion reached is that the pop-
ulation studied had a high prevalence of exposure
to at least one risk factor for CNCDs.
