The objective was to measure the prevalence of overweight and obesity (OO) and very high risk for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), and associated factors, in farmers and their families in a city in southern Brazil Observational, cross-sectional study carried out with farmers and their families residing in the Serra Gaúcha region. For data collection, a wide questionnaire was used, in addition to anthropometric measurements (Body Mass Index - BMI and waist circumference). Associations with outcomes were explored using Student's t-tests and ANOVA to compare means and the chi-square test for categorical variables. 122 individuals participated in this study. Prevalence of OO was 59.0% and very high risk for CVD was 50.8%, being present in 78.7% of women and in 33.3% of men. Annual income and very high risk for CVD were identified as factors associated with OO. Also, factors associated with a very high risk for CVD were advanced age and BMI in both sexes, and marital status in men. Thus, the importance of early identification of risk factors for outcomes in farmers and their families is reinforced, in view of high prevalence’s observed.
