Materials and Methods: A non-experimental, cross-sectional, descriptive study design was used. Results: 48% had a BMI>30, 18.1% higher than the national average. 42.1% showed abdominal obesity (waist circumference >83cm) and 73.5% showed high risk values of waist-hip and waist-height ratios. The relationship of these indicators to other variables such as age, rural residence, blood pressure and chronic non transmissible diseases is discussed. Conclusions: A high prevalence of cardiovascular risk was found, as well as low perception of nutritional state as related to BMI.
