Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted with 624 overweight subjects (73.7% females). Assessments of food intake (24h food recall and health eating index-HEI), anthropometry, and biochemical assays of fasting glucose, insulin (HOMA-IR and β calculus) and homocysteinemia were performed. Results: The low quality of diet was associated with the vegetable oil at 3rd quintile (≥1.5-2.0 servings) showed risk 2.9 times and cholesterol at quintiles 2nd, 3rd, and 4th was 2.0 times. HOMA-IR was higher at 5th quintile of saturated fat (≥10,7% - total caloric value) with risk of 60% and hyperhomocysteinemia the vegetable oil at 3rd quintile (>1.5-2.0 servings) with risk of 12.0 times and 5th (≥3.5 servings) 7.1 times. However, significance disappeared when adjusted for anthropometric variables. Conclusion: Dietary fats were associated with the harm diet quality, insulin resistance, and hyperhomocysteinemia. However, associations are dependant of demographic variables, dietetic, and nutritional state. © 2011 CELOM.719-726engcholesterolglucoseinsulinsaturated fatty acidvegetable oilanthropometrybiochemistrycorrelation analysiscross-sectional studydietfat intakefemalefood intakehumanhyperhomocysteinemiahyperlipidemiainsulin resistancemajor clinical studymaleobesityCross-Sectional StudiesDietDietary FatsFemaleHumansHyperhomocysteinemiaInsulin ResistanceMaleMiddle AgedOverweightRetrospective StudiesArtigoAcesso aberto2-s2.0-848571764312-s2.0-84857176431.pdf
