Objective: To investigate cardiometabolic risk assessed by anthropometric variables in patients attending a day hospital. Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive study with a quantitative approach was conducted at a day hospital located in Fortaleza, CE, in 2025. Adults of both sexes diagnosed with mental disorders participated in the study. Measurements of weight, height, waist circumference, and hip circumference were collected. Body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, and waist-to-height ratio were calculated. Data were submitted to descriptive statistical analyses (mean, standard deviation, simple frequency, and percentage) using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), version 20.0. Results: Sixteen patients were evaluated, 62.5% (n = 10) female and 37.5% (n = 6) male, with a mean age of 42.81 ± 15,00 years. Most patients were diagnosed with obesity (62.5%, n = 10) and presented cardiometabolic risk according to anthropometric variables. Conclusion: The findings reinforce the importance of monitoring anthropometric indicators in patients receiving mental health care, considering the relationship between mental disorders and cardiometabolic risk.
