It's cross-sectional study among all women in a HPS. It was used anthropometric variables, food consumption and dietary habits, and reports of morbidity. Descriptive analysis and multiple linear regressions were performed (p<0,05). A high prevalence of excess weight (78,7%) and inadequate dietary characteristics were found among the 262 interviewees. The increase of body mass index correlated with inadequate food mastication (b=2,780; p<0,001); insufficient vitamin C intake (b=-2,700; p=0,039); risk of cardiovascular diseases (b=2,840; p<0,001) and dyslipidemia (b=2,292; p=0,003); and doing diets over the last six months (b=2,216; p=0,006). Conclusion: The high rates of excess weight and associated factors show that there is a need to implement strategies for health promotion and recovery, focusing on comprehensive care for individuals and communities, even if at HPS.
