Among the main limitations of the study, one of the most important is the procedure used to select the sample. Because it was a specific population group, i. Similarly, the cross-sectional design of the study prevents the establishment of causal effects on the outcomes related to body weight and advancing age.

Thus, the information obtained in the study points out that, although it is a population segment integrated in a region of low economic development and with low social indicators, excess body weight was the main problem associated with nutritional status. The high prevalence of overweight and obesity reported here warns about the urgent need of public policies for health promotion, especially those directed to healthy eating habits and physical activity.
However, it is necessary to adjust the guidelines of currents actions and to clearly define the profile of their beneficiaries concerning the greater accumulation of body fat, due to the possible effects of foods with high calories and low nutritional value, associated with low levels of physical activity. In this case, it is suggested that the access of the population to food should be accompanied by a specific education process focused on adequate consumption, nutritional needs and the regular practice of physical effort specific to increase energy expenditure.

The tape measure circled the natural line of smaller circumference in the waist and the reading was obtained during the expiration. Values were considered adequate low risk for metabolic complications smaller or equal to cm for men and smaller or equal to 88 cm for women 2.
The blood pressure levels were measured before and after the questionnaire application, taking into account the second measurement The pressure taking was carried out with the individual sitting down, feet on the floor, left arm relaxed and rested on a table at heart level and palm of the hand facing up, as oriented by Chobanian and collaborators The systolic and diastolic pressure levels were later classified as normal and high.
Regarding smoking, the individuals were classified in three categories: The physical activity performed in the week prior to the interview and the relative score were calculated as being the sum of moderate activity minutes for instance, light bike riding, dancing or doing chores around the house, garden or yard plus two times the minutes of intense activity for example, jogging, aerobics or playing soccer.
The questions regarding diet were based on a structured and tested through telephone inquiries questionnaire, SIMTEL 9, Protection factors for chronic diseases and the intake of fruits, vegetables, raw salads and beans five or more times a week were considered. The intake of soft drinks over three times a week and the habit of consuming whole milk and visible meat fats were considered as risk factors.
The data were doubly typed into the Epi-Info version 6. The analysis was weighted by gender, with values determined by the ratio between the proportion of individuals in the census and in the sample. The free informed term of consent signing was requested to the participants of the research. The response rate was The average age in the study was The school background average was 9. In tables 2 and 3 and in pictures 1 and 2, the data are presented with proportions according to gender.
By analyzing the results from both tables altogether, it is observed that when it comes to diet characteristics, women present more prevalence of behavior considered factors of protection in comparison to men, except in relation to the intake of beans, where men outnumbered women.
It is important to note about diet behaviors with risk of CNCDs, where men present more prevalence of soft drinks, whole milk and visible meat fats intake. The studied population is a population of eminent risk of CNCDs, where Overweight and hypertension were more prevalent among men and general obesity and abdominal obesity were more prevalent among women. Self-referred diabetes was 6.
Figures 1 and 2 present the prevalence of risk factors for chronic non-communicable diseases for women and men, respectively, according to school background. Negative association with obesity is observed in women, with the categories of the other variables not following a linear trend, intake of fatty meat or chicken with skin, low consumption of fruits and vegetables and smoking are statistically associated with the school background.
For men, the overweight prevalence, intake of fatty meat or chicken with skin, low consumption of fruits and vegetables and smoking were statistically different. Based on the presented results, it is noted that this population suffers a considerable risk of developing other CNCDs, because they already present high prevalence of hypertension Moreover, high prevalence of risk factors for the development of diseases like these was observed, such as smoking Regarding protection, women present higher prevalence than men.
A study conducted in all Brazilian capitals and the Federal District 24 showed that the state capital of Santa Catarina presented bigger frequency of intake of fruits and vegetables five or more times a week, both in men and women When singled out by school background, the low intake of fruits and vegetables was higher among the year education range in women and in the year education range in men.
Differently from our study, Carvalhaes and Collaborators 9 did not find differences according to school background for the low consumption of fruits and vegetables in both genders.
The habit prevalence of eating meats without removing visible fats was statistically higher for men than for women Regarding the school background, the consumption prevalence of meats with visible fats was higher in the year education range, for both genders. A high prevalence of whole milk intake was found in the population of Lages These data agree with the data found in the present study, where the prevalence of regular smokers was higher in men than in women, however, the prevalence of smokers in both genders was higher. The study performed by Carvalhaes and collaborators 9 found higher prevalence of smoking for individuals with school background smaller than 8 years, both for men and women.
In the present study, higher prevalence of smoking was found in the year education range for women and in the year education range for men. In the present study and in the aforementioned studies, the overweight prevalence was higher among men, regarding obesity though, the proportion was inverted, being higher in women.
