Consequently, the research focused on evaluating the physical condition of the population aged 41 to 65 at the Guayabal University Farm. The sample was composed of 32.14% males and 67.86% females, measurements of weight, height, neck, waist for both sexes were made, and also hips for females at these ages, and with the help of the automated system, the body mass index, waist-height ratio and body fat percentage were determined. As results, it was revealed that for the three indicators evaluated there was 44.64% overweight and obesity, where women had a greater tendency to obesity, and the association of the three indicators was significant, with an average value of 0.69, which allowed to affirm that there were obesity values.
