The prevalence of overweight was 48.06%, and an association with the following factors was found: male sex (prevalence ratio PR 1.38, p=0.006); age >35 years (PR 1.41, p=0.012) and monthly income >$1,600,000 Colombian pesos (PR 1.37, p=0.010).Conclusions: In economically active population, overweight was more frequent among males, in people aged >35 years and in those with higher monthly wage income.
