Summary: | Introduction: Cardiometabolic risks are characterized by a set of metabolic dysfunctions that predispose to cardiovascular events, when they coexist in the body. Objective: The purposes of this study are to perform the nutritional assessment and to investigate the cardiometabolic risk factors in the employees of a University Restaurant. Method: There have been collected socioeconomic, individual, anthropometric, alimentary data and biochemical exams (lipid profile and fasting glycemia) from eighteen employees through a data sheet and the data obtained were analyzed by the DietBox software. Results: Among the participants, 33% were overweight and had higher risk of developing chronic noncommunicable diseases, where men presented higher percentage of abdominal circumference (42.8%). Furthermore, it was possible to notice that 33.3% of the employees presented low HDL-C values and 27.7% increased total cholesterol. On average, daily calorie consumption variations were observed in relation to the recommendations of around 38.8% for more and 55.5% for less. Regarding feeding habit surveys, higher protein intake was observed and, among the macronutrients, it was noticed that the general daily intake values were according to the recommendations. Cholesterol, trans fat, sodium, selenium and vitamin C stood out being consumed over the expected; and fibers, calcium, magnesium and vitamins D and E were under the recommendation values. Conclusion: This study demonstrated the presence of factors that predispose cardiovascular events in the population. The high rates of overweight and obesity in the analyzed individuals were possibly due to changes in eating patterns and lack of physical exercises. Keywords: Cardiovascular Diseases. Dyslipidemias. Overweight. Nutritional Deficiencies.
