We applied a questionnaire containing demographic data and related to physical activity and weight were measured, the height to calculate BMI, waist circumference and weght were measured, the height to calculate BMI, waist circumference and blood pressure. We collected a sample for blood glucose test fasting. After triple typing, data were stored in a database built in excel and processed in the statistical package for social science version 18.0. The results were analyzed statistically and analyzed with support in the literature. Approved by the ethics committee in research of Federal University of Ceará received the study protocol no. 208/10. Of the 702 participants, 62.7% were female, the mean age was 21.5 years and 53.3% located in the age group 20-24 years, 92% were single, 49.1% mulatto, 69.1% were beginners and were attending the first semester of graduation, the average monthly income was3,211.66 reais, 79% belonged to classes B + C, 64.7% were in school and only 70.4% lived with parents.
