Measurements were made of glucose and blood cholesterol, blood pressure and anthropometric measurements. Data collection took place in February 2014 to November 2014. Risk factors were overweight / obesity (63.8%) and sedentary lifestyle (65%), followed by family history of cardiovascular disease (43.3%), hypercholesterolemia (38.3%), and hypertension (13.3%). This population of women presented risk factors for the development of cardiovascular disease in all ages, being necessary the implementation of measures that stimulate changes in the daily habits and improve health conditions among women by the health team.
