Obesity significantly increases the risk of developing numerous medical conditions, besides is associated with shortened life span. The objective of this study was to evaluate the anthropometric measurements and lipid profile in adult overweight and obese subjects residents in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. The methodology was the analysis of certain biochemical parameters in serum of individuals and a physical evaluation that consisted of measurements of blood pressure and anthropometric data. In addition, the volunteers of the research answered a questionnaire about personal, social and clinical data. 1741 samples were collected, of which 432 (24,8%) were obese. Of these, 280 were selected to participate in the study, including 118 (42,1%) men and 162 (57,9%) women. Of the remaining 1309 individuals, 731 (55,8%) were overweight. Among them, 179 (24.5%) were analyzed in this study, with 56,4% female. Of the remaining 578 normal individuals, 143 were selected as controls in the research. Amid the obese, overweight and eutrophic, there were respectively 10% vs 5% vs 5,6% of diabetics, 92,1% vs 85,5% vs 68,7% of dyslipidemics and 38,6% vs 22,3% vs 15,6% of hypertensive patients. The degree of obesity presented by the participants was varied, with the majority (72,8%) fall into grade I obese, 22,9% (64) in grade II and only 4,3% (12) in grade III. Mean anthropometric participants showed statistically significant differences between groups eutrophic, overweight and obese on the BMI, WC, WHR and %BF and between sexes in CC, WHR and %BF. As the mean serum biochemical parameters to evaluate the lipid profile showed significant differences between groups eutrophic, overweight and obese, unless the exception of HDL among overweight and obese. The significance level was 5% (p <0.05) / O sobrepeso e a obesidade s?o definidos como o ac?mulo de gordura anormal ou excessivo que possa causar danos ? sa?de, aumentando expressivamente o risco de desenvolvimento de numerosas patologias, al?m de estarem associados ? diminui??o da expectativa de vida. O objetivo do presente trabalho ? avaliar as medidas antropom?tricas e o perfil lip?dico de indiv?duos adultos obesos e com sobrepeso residentes no Estado do RN. A metodologia adotada foi a an?lise de par?metros bioqu?micos determinados no soro dos volunt?rios e uma avalia??o f?sica que constou de medi??es de press?o arterial e dados antropom?tricos. Os volunt?rios da pesquisa ainda responderam a um question?rio sobre dados pessoais, sociais e cl?nicos. Foram coletadas 1741 amostras, das quais 432 (24,8%) eram de obesos. Destes, 280 foram selecionados para participar da pesquisa, entre eles 118 (42,1%) homens e 162 mulheres (57,9%). Dos 1309 volunt?rios restantes, 731 (55,8%) apresentaram sobrepeso. Dentre eles, 179 (24,5%) foram analisados nesta pesquisa sendo 56,4% do g?nero feminino. Dos 578 volunt?rios eutr?ficos remanescentes, 143 foram selecionados como controle da pesquisa. Em meio aos obesos, sobrepesos e eutr?ficos, havia, respectivamente, 10% vs 5% vs 5,6% de diab?ticos, 92,1% vs 85,5% vs 68,7% de dislipid?micos e 38,6% vs 22,3% vs 15,6% de hipertensos. O grau de obesidade apresentado pelos volunt?rios foi variado, com a maioria (72,8%; n = 204) se encaixando em obesos grau I, 22,9% (64) em grau II e apenas 4,3% (12) em grau III. As m?dias antropom?tricas dos volunt?rios indicaram diferen?as estatisticamente significantes entre os grupos eutr?fico, sobrepeso e obeso quanto ao IMC, CC, RCQ e %GC, e entre os g?neros quanto a CC, RCQ e %GC. Assim como as m?dias dos par?metros bioqu?micos s?ricos que avaliam o perfil lip?dico indicaram diferen?as significativas entre os grupos eutr?fico, sobrepeso e obeso, salvo exce??o do HDL entre os sobrepesos e obesos. O n?vel de signific?ncia adotado foi de 5% (p < 0,05)
