Abstract

Introduction: obesity is defined as the presence of an excessive quantity of corporal fat.
Objective: to characterize middle-aged women according to nutritional assessment and cardiometabolic risk factors.
Methods: descriptive, retrospective study in 180 middle-aged women from Santa Clara City from 2018 to 2021. Statistical analysis was performed in two stages: descriptive analysis (mean, median, and standard deviation) and inferential analysis (Chi-square [qualitative]).
Results: overweight and obesity predominate, 43.89% have a body mass index corresponding to the overweight category and when classifying obesity 31.67% have class I obesity. As the body mass index increases, the frequency of risk factors increases: hypertension, smoking and ischemic heart disease. All the patients with overweight and obesity had an abdominal waist greater than 88 centimeters.
Conclusions: Cardiometabolic risk markers were found in middle-aged women with overweight and obesity.
