    This study aimed at evaluating the association between hyperlipidemia and dietary patterns of Japanese Brazilians with and without hypothyroidism from Bauru, city in the State of São Paulo. We evaluated 1,330 individuals by means of demographic and dietary measurement, whom were gotten through standardized questionnaires previously tested. Clinical examination and laboratory data were anthropometry, blood pressure, fasting and 2-h glucose load, lipid profile and TSH and free T4. The chi-square and the odds ratio were used to evaluate associations between hyperlipidemia with studied variables. The prevalence of hyperlipidemia was 81.5% and it was associated with smokers, overweight, hypothyroid, hypertensive and glucose intolerants. We observed, in crude analysis, relationships with the presence of hyperlipidemia and fat saturated, oleic acid and dietary fiber from grains and cereals. After adjusting for the control variables, we observed relationships between hyperlipidemia (hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia) with habitual intake of total fat, oleic acid, saturated fat, trans fat, dietary fiber and alcohol. As a conclusion, changes in the style of life, particularly in the dietary habits, can improve lipidic profile and that lipids intake can be a risk factor for hyperlipidemia. Prospectives studies will help test the hypothesis in Japanese Brazilians from Bauru.
