The association between nutritional pattern and prevalence of metabolic diseases is of Public Health concern. Herein we performed a cross-sectional study in 103 patients between Jun 2016-Jun 2017 in men and women between 18-80 years-old in statistically-selected neighborhoods in San Luis City. The nutritional status (Body Mass Index, BMI), anthropometric and socio-demographic data, physical activity (IPAQ short-version forms) and food intake (validated FFQ) were assessed to determine the average high-energy-dense food (HEDF) intake (g/day). Data were shortened by age and gender, and analyzed using the T- and Chi-square tests. The models of multiple-logistic regression were adjusted. This analysis included as responsible variable: presence/absence of overweight (BMI25) or obese (BMI30); and as co-variables: HEDF intake, gender, age, total-energy value (TEV) and level-of-physical activity.51% of all patients were either overweight or obese, of which 22% were obese, and no gender difference was observed. 36% were smokers or ex-smokers. Cardiovascular risk was estimated in 41% with no gender differences. TEV was estimated in 2,768±1,085 Kcal/day and was higher in men than women. HEDF intake was estimated in 385.7±287.2 g/day. This parameter did not show gender differences and highest in patients below 40?s. There was a positive association of age with overweight (OR 1.05, IC95% 1.03-1.09) and with obesity (OR 1,77 IC95% 1,03?4,98). However, there was no association between HEDF intake and nutritional status. SFFQ showed that most of half of patients consumed high-fat and -sugar foods. Fry cooking was the preferred cooking method followed by salting and stubbing. Almost 50% patients use artificial sweeteners at least twice-a-day and a low intake of water, fruits and vegetables. In this first stageour data suggest that age, life-style, sweeteners, fries and HEDF intake are associated to increase risk of metabolic diseases. Supported by PROICO 100414 (to SEGM)PICT2014-3369.
