There is little information about health conditions and ifestyles of teachers. The aim was to investigate the indicators of lifestyle and health-related characteristics of work of municipal teachers from Bagé, RS. We conducted a descriptive study with self-reported questionnaires involving 414 city teachers from urban and rural. We used descriptive statistical procedures. Most subjects were female (96.1%), economy class B (70%) with high school, little time in teaching and moderate workload (mean = 27.4 ± 11.4 h / wk ). Most considered their health positively (85.7%) despite the high prevalence of low intake of fruits and vegetables (79.6%), overweight (46.6%) and negative stress score (30 points). Were considered physically active 63.5% of individuals. Although perceive their health as good, there are compromises in some aspects of lifestyle. It may be that regional factors and typical characteristics of the inland have influenced the results.
