Sumario:Objective: To analyze the social determinants of health associated with overweight and obesity in women. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of women with a body mass index (BMI) ≥25 kg/m2 who were followed up at an obesity referral center in Salvador, Bahia. Secondary data from 161 medical records were used, which were organized into layers according to the Social Health Determinants model and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Fisher's Exact Test. Results: In DSS layer 1, there was a predominance of the 40-59 age group (84;52.2%) and brown race/color (93;57.8%). An association was found between BMI and age group (p=0.015). In layer 2, there was no diet (102; 63.4%), no physical activity (112; 69.6%) and alcohol consumption (63; 39.1%), with a significant association between BMI and alcohol consumption (p=0.045). In layer 3, less than 3 people lived in the household (63; 39.1%). As for layer 4, there was a predominance of women with a high school degree (89; 55.3%), an income of less than one minimum wage (79; 49.1%) with formal paid employment (69; 42.9%), and education showed an association with BMI (p=0.016).
