Resumo

Objective: to estimate the prevalence of cardiovascular disease risk factors by sex and socioeconomic status. Methods: cross-sectional population-based representative sample of people aged 40 or older, living in Cambe-PR. Household interviews were conducted, collecting anthropometric measurements and laboratory tests in the first half of 2011. Prevalence, prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated. Results: 1,180 people were interviewed. Most prevalent risk factors were physical inactivity during leisure (71.4%), overweight/obesity (68.3%), hypertension (55.9%) and low consumption of fruit (54.3%) and vegetables (35.5%). Overweight/obesity prevalence was lower among men compared to women (PR 0.82, 95% CI 0.73-0.92). Physical inactivity during leisure, as well as low fruit and vegetable consumption were more prevalent among men and women of lower socioeconomic classes. Conclusion: high cardiovascular disease risk factor prevalence was found, especially among individuals from lower socioeconomic classes.
