title: [Prevalence of food habits and nutritional status in adult population served in primary care].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To identify dietary patterns and nutritional status of the population between 18-44 years visited at a health center (HC) and explore the associated factors.
  
  
  METHODS
  Cross-sectional study conducted in an urban HC in a random sample of 201 people. Were analyzed socio-demographic data, anthropometric measurements, 24 hours latest reminder intake, weekly food frequency questionnaire.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The mean age of participants was 32.81 years (standard deviation 6.72). 63.68% (128) were women and 62.69% (126) immigrants. 45.27% (91) expressed no exercise. About 60% of participants related a deficit in consumption milk, fruits, meat and farinaceous and 80% vegetables, 58% related excessive fat. 44.4% (56) of immigrants was 20.3% with respect to obese (15) of native (P = 0.001). The proportion of people with "waist-risk" was higher among immigrants as compared to the native (19.0% vs 6.8%, P = 0.017) and among those who did not exercise with respect to each other (17.6% vs 8.1%, P = 0.049). Immigrants perform less physical activity related to the native (42.1% vs 62.7%, P = 0.013). Being an immigrant was the variable explaining of distribution acceptable daily macronutrient intake (Odds Ratio 4.7, Confidence Interval 95% 2.02-11.03).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The participants related excessive consumption of fats and deficient in the rest of food groups. Obesity and the "risk waist" were more common among immigrants and sedentary population. Immigrants talked of a better distribution of nutrients in your daily diet.
