    The present study aimed to analyze the relationship between body composition, dietary habits, and the level of physical activity in public transport drivers from the canton of San Pedro de Pelileo. For this purpose, a total of 70 participants were evaluated through a quantitative approach study, with a non-experimental and cross-sectional design. Data collection included the measurement of anthropometric parameters such as body mass index and waist circumference, as well as the application of instruments to assess dietary habits and physical activity levels. The results showed a high prevalence of overweight, obesity, and cardiovascular risk associated with abdominal adiposity, along with dietary patterns characterized by a high consumption of ultra-processed foods. Additionally, low levels of physical activity and prolonged sedentary behavior were identified. Correlation analysis revealed that sitting time is positively associated with increases in body mass index and cardiovascular risk, whereas walking showed a protective effect. In conclusion, the findings confirm that body composition, dietary habits, and physical activity are closely interrelated and significantly influence the health status of public transport drivers.
