%X objective: to estimate overweight and obesity prevalence, and socioeconomic correlates in adults living in ribeir£¿o preto city - sp, brazil, in 2006. methods: a cross-sectional population-based epidemiological study was carried out in adults aged 30 years and older using three-stage cluster sampling: 81 census tracts were firstly selected, followed by 1,671 households and 1,205 individuals. the variability introduced in the third sampling fraction (individuals assortment) was corrected, resulting in a weighted sample of 2,197 participants. the nutritional status was classified in three categories (normal, overweight and obesity) according the body mass index (bmi) cut-offs recommended by world health organization-2000 criteria. to investigate the nutritional status correlates, prevalence ratios were estimated by points and 95% confidence intervals, using poisson regression. results: overweight prevalence was higher in male (49.7%) than female (33.7%), whereas the obesity prevalence was higher in female (27.5%) than male (19.1%). in the final model, considering "overweight" as the outcome, the following variables were positively associated: the last two strata of age: "50-59" and "60 and older"; the "1st tertile" of income, and living "with partner". females presented a protective effect compared to males. considering "obesity", all the "age categories" and "marital status" were positively associated to the outcome. conclusion: along with the high overweight and obesity prevalences in ribeir£¿o preto, the detection of different sets of socioeconomic correlates pointed out the need of specific intervention strategies, focused on health promotion and chronic-degenerative diseases prevention in the population.
