Introduction: Changes in lifestyle occur among young people after entering higher education for several reasons. Thus, university students manifest risk factors for weight gain, such as physical inactivity, changes in sleep, changes in eating habits, beginning to experiment with psychoactive substances such as alcohol, tobacco and illicit drugs, that is, practices that contribute to excess of weight. Objective: to evaluate a correspondence between anthropometric status, sociodemographic and lifestyle variables in university students. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study carried out with 155 university students, over 18 years old, with the application of a questionnaire to obtain sociodemographic and lifestyle information. The anthropometric evaluation consisted of measuring weight, height, skinfolds, waist and hip circumference. The analyzes consisted of simple and absolute frequency, in addition to the Multiple Correspondence Analysis. Results: There was an association between being overweight aged 26 to 34 years old, male, without other occupations, low economic class, who did not develop domestic activity and were from the interdisciplinary and postgraduate bachelor courses. Conclusion: Through the correspondence observed between the variables of interest, we suggest the adoption of practices to promote the adaptation of eating habits among university students, mainly through actions of Food and Nutrition Education.
