Abstract: Overweight and obesity in Mexico has been increasing in recent decades associated with unhealthy eating habits where highly processed foods prevail as well as little physical act According to the National Health and Nutrition Survey of 2018, it indicates that it is the group of women who have a higher prevalence of obesity and with it a greater risk of presenting diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases and some types of cancer among other pathologies. Both overweight and obesity occur in both rural and urban areas of the country and are not characteristic of a defined age group. With this as background, this study was carried out in a group of 22 young women in two municipalities of the state of Michoacán in order to identify, evaluate and correlate some anthropometric and biochemical indicators that would account for the cardiovascular risk they presented.
