Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between body mass index, body mass index and blood pressure in a group of overweight cadets. The body mass index does not estimate adiposity as if it happens with the fat mass index. In turn, excess adiposity predisposes the development of cardiovascular diseases Materials and methods: retrospective observational study. Descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation were applied. Results: 90 cadets with an average age of 22 ± 3 years and a body mass index of 27.3 ± 2 kg / m2 were part of the study. The fat mass index did not show significant differences between men and women: 7.62 ± 2.37 kg / m2 and 7.8 ± 2.3kg / m2 respectively (p: 0.38). In men, systolic and diastolic blood pressure was normal and without significant differences (p> 0.05). In men, diastolic blood pressure was related to absolute value of fat mass (r = 0.420 p 0.00) and to the fat mass index (r = 0.386 p: 0.00). In women, the fat mass index was related to the body mass index (r = 0.516 p = 0.00) and the systolic blood pressure was related to the waist circumference (r = 0.357 p: 0.03). Conclusions: in young military the body mass index ≥ 25 kg / m2, is not related to blood pressure and fat mass index, does not suggest overweight due to adiposity.
