The objective of this study was to characterize the occurrence of excess weight and the associated factors among patients attended at the nutrition clinic of a university hospital. This is a descriptive field study with an exploratory and cross­-sectional character, with samples collected through the medical records of the patients attending the nutrition clinic of the João de Barros Barreto University Hospital of Belém (PA), for a year, from April 2018 to April 2019. During this period, 87 patients were selected who met the inclusion criteria, of both sexes, of which the women were the majority (65.52%), with a mean age of 49.4±10.8 years. About 82.76% were overweight, compared to laboratory tests, 70.11% had high blood glucose levels, 57.47% had high total cholesterol, only 50.57% had high triglycerides, 59.77 % had low HDL and 43.68% had high LDL, there was a slight positive correlation between glycemia and triglyceridemia and a slight negative correlation between triglyceridemia and HDL-­cholesterol. It was concluded that overweight was significantly frequent in the sample studied, and hyperglycemia was the most prevalent biochemical alteration in this study.Acesso AbertoDoenças crônicasEstado metabólicoExcesso de pesoChronic diseaseMetabolic statusOverweightCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::NUTRICAOTrabalho de Curso - Graduação - Monografia
