The main objective was to evaluate associations between diet quality, dietary patterns and physical activity with anthropometric indices of body adiposity and cardiovascular risk (CVR), as well as with markers of atherogenesis and with the Framingham International and Colombia CVR scores. Cross-sectional prevalence study, which included native adults from Cartagena, screened between September/2023 and January/2024. Three main groups were formed; normal weight, overweight and obesity. In turn, the obese were classified into type I, II and III. The same sampling unit was divided into; non-diabetics, insulin-resistant, type 2 diabetics, type 2 diabetic-hypertensives, non-diabetic hypertensives and uncontrolled hypertensives.
