Abstract





Objective: To verify the relationship between lipid intake and health risk based on different anthropometric indicators in a sample of military police officers from Curitiba (Paraná). Methods: The study consisted of 121 military police officers (96 men and 25 women), belonging to the Community School Patrol Battalion, working in the city of Curitiba. To verify the intake of lipids (total and saturated), the Food Frequency Questionnaire was applied. Anthropometric data were obtained by body measurements according to the ISAK protocol. Finally, binary logistic regression was made between coronary heart disease risk and lipid intake. Results: The body mass index (BMI) indicated that 67.8% of the police were overweight. The waist-height ratio (WHtR) of the sample showed a 43% percentage with cardiovascular risk. Also, 66.9% of military police portrayed excessive consumption of total lipids, as well as 74.4% with inadequate saturated lipid intake. Military police officers with lipid consumption greater than 30% and who had increased WHtR were more than twice as likely to have a risk of cardiovascular disease (OR = 2.28; 95% CI = 1.02 - 5.09). Conclusion: there was a high prevalence of inadequate lipid consumption and health risk in the patients studied. Public policies that make military police aware of the risks associated with excessive lipid consumption are necessary.
