    Food consumption and living habits of workers are relevant to productive capacity due to the possibility of reducing the incidence of diseases. However, studies evaluating food intake in these conditions are scarce in the scientific literature. Thus, the objective of this dissertation was to evaluate the food consumption of a group of bank employees, and the association with socioeconomic, behavioral, labor and health condition factors. This is an observational and cross-sectional study with employees of a banking network in Grande Vitória/ES/BR. A semiquantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire was applied, in which, the analysis of main components with varimax rotation was used to determine the dietary patterns. Three food patterns were identified: “vegetables, fruits, cereals and tubers”, “sweets and snacks” and “traditional and protein”. The first pattern was positively associated with the habit of rarely exchanging lunch for snack, to make five or more meals a day, and not consuming industrialized seasoning. It was also a protective factor for abdominal obesity, Metabolic Syndrome (MS) and elevation of the ultra-sensitive C-reactive Protein (CRP-us). On the other hand, the patterns “sweets and snacks” and “traditional and protein” showed associations inverse to those found in the healthier pattern. The “sweets and snacks” pattern was also directly associated with the habit of changing lunch for 1 to 4 times a week, eating in a restaurant 1 to 3 times a day, not using sweetener, using salt shaker at the table, using industrialized seasonings and to have higher education. The “traditional and protein” dietary pattern was associated with to have four or fewer meals a day, not using sweeteners, using industrialized seasoning and to receive high social support, besides being a risk factor for hypertriglyceridemia. It is concluded, therefore, that the food consumption of bank employees is mainly related to the life style of these individuals. In addition, a healthy diet, represented by the “vegetables, fruits, cereals and tubers” pattern, was associated with a better health condition, especially when evaluating competing metabolic complications, such as in the presence of abdominal obesity, MS, and changes in us-CRP. In contrast, the "traditional and protein" pattern, rich in processed foods, has been shown to be a risk factor for the development of hypertriglyceridemia.
