Abstract:

Objective: To investigate relationship of income and educational level with health and nutritional conditions in severely obese. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 79 patients at first appointment, Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 35 kg/m2 and age ≥ 20 years. Data were collected: demographic, socioeconomic, anthropometric, lifestyle, biochemical and food intake. Results: There was a significant negative correlation of education with the variables 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 associated 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 sweets (PR: 3.12, CI95%: 1.21-8.04). Conclusion: In severely obese, educational level was not related to health and nutritional conditions, except for a weak correlation with BMI and weight. Nevertheless, the per capita family income was associated with the absence of heart disease, consumption of leafy vegetables and sweets.
