Aiming to investigate the prevalence of
cardiovascular risk factors in the population of
the Eastern Region of Goiania, Goiás, a transversal
study was done involving 3.275 individuals,

and information on living habits, measures
blood pressure, anthropometry, and blood collection

investigated were: weight, height, blood pressure,
physical activity, use of tobacco, cholesterol, triglycerides
and glucose. Estimated prevalence at
intervals of 95% confidence, differences in proportions
assessed using chi-square test and values
(p <0,05) considered statistically significant. The
study showed that 33,4% of subjects had hypertension,
44.1% overweight/obesity, 16.2% used
tobacco regular/occasionally; 72.5% in sedentary
