Objetivo: Avaliar o estado nutricional e o risco cardiovascular de executivos. Material e Método: Estudo transversal. Foram avaliados 329 executivos de ambos os gêneros, com idade entre 31 e 70 anos, submetidos a check-up de saúde em um hospital privado do município de São Paulo. Foram mensuradas as variáveis referentes à peso, estatura e circunferência da cintura (CC) e determinado o Índice de Massa Corporal - IMC (kg/m²). Dados referentes ao consumo de gordura e fibra foram coletados a partir do Questionário de Freqüência Alimentar Simplificado. Foram analisados os valores para pressão arterial, níveis séricos de colesterol total e frações, triacilglicerol, glicose e ácido úrico. Prática habitual de atividade física foi avaliada por meio do Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física (IP AQ) e o risco cardiovascular pelo Escore de Framingham. Resultados: A média de idade foi 44,6 anos (DP=6,8), com predomínio do gênero masculino (89,7%). Quanto ao estilo de vida, 17% eram tabagistas e 7,3% sedentários. Os resultados médios encontrados para os exames clínicos e bioquímicos foram: pressão arterial de 117,8 x 78,6 mmHg (DP=12 x 8,3), colesterol total de 200,5 mg/dL (DP=35,9), LDL-c de 121,8 mg/dL (DP=29,9), HDL-c de 52,2 mg/dL (DP=10,9), triacilglicerol de 133,7 mg/dL (DP=76,8), glicose de 96,3 mg/dL (DP=20,5) e ácido úrico de 6,0 e 4,2 mg/dL (DP=1,0 e 0,9) para homens e mulheres, respectivamente. O IMC médio foi de excesso de peso (26,l kg/m²); DP=6,8). A CC média estava normal entre as mulheres (79,6cm; DP=7,3) e indicou risco elevado para doenças crônicas entre os homens (96,lcm; DP=8,9). O escore médio do consumo de gordura foi 15,8 (DP=6,5) e o de fibra foi 18,3 (DP=5,3). O Risco de Famingham médio foi de 5,7%. Conclusões: Os executivos estavam com excesso de peso, com baixo consumo de fibra e apresentaram baixo risco cardiovascular.

Objective: To evaluate the nutritional status and cardiovascular risk among executives. Material and Method: A cross-sectional study. 329 executives of both gender, aged from 31-70y, were evaluated during a health check-up in a private hospital in the city of São Paulo. The variables related to weight, height and waist circumference were measured and Body Mass Index - BMI (Kg/m²) was determined. Dietary intakes of total fat and fiber were assessed by the Simplified Food Frequency Questionnaire. Blood pressure and serum levels of total cholesterol and fractions, triacliglicerol, glucose and uric acid were analyzed. Physical activity was evaluated by International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and cardiovascular risk was estimated by the Framingham Scoring. Results: The mean age was 44.6 (SD=6.8), with the male gender predominating (89.7%). As for lifestyle, 17% were tobacco smokers and 7.3% sedentary. The mean values found in the clinical and biochimical exams were the following: blood pressure of 117 x 78.6 mmHg (SD=12x8.3), total cholesterol of 200.5 mg/dL (SD=35.9), LDL-c of 121.8 mg/dL (SD=29.9), HDL-c of 52.2 mg/dL (SD= 10.9), triacilglicerol of 133.7 mg/dL (SD=76.8), glucose of 96.3 mg/dL (SD=20.5) and uric acid 4.2 and 6.0 mg/dL (SD=1.0 and 0.9) for men and women respectively. The BMI mean for all the executives was classified as overweight (26.1kg/m²); SD=6.8). Waist circumference was normal in women (79.6cm; SD=7.3) and indicated a high risk level of chronic disease for the men (96.1cm; SD=8.9). The average score of the dietary consumption of fat was 15.8 (SD=5.6) and for fibre was 18.3 (S0=5.3). The average Framingham Risk was 5.7%. Conclusions: The executives were overweight, had low fibre consumption and they presented low cardiovascular risk, according to the Framingham Scoring.
