Resumo
This article seeks to investigate the rela-
tionship between income and educational level and
health and nutritional conditions among the mor-
bidly obese. 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.
