Cross-sectional study with 16 participants, 9 trans women and 7 trans men. A questionnaire was applied to obtain the characteristics of the participants, such as gender, age, time of treatment and health conditions, a physical examination was performed, anthropometric data such as skinfolds, weight, height and circumferences were measured, and the WHOQOL-Bref Quality of Life Assessment Questionnaire was applied. The trans women had a higher mean Body Mass Index (BMI), although they had a smaller waist circumference. The level of quality of life found is higher for trans men than trans women. This research can be used as a facilitator of access to information about a certain population, and can contribute to better care and facilitate access to public health policies, since it is a growing public that is now being recognized and inserted in public spaces and, like the others, deserves good care based on scientific evidence, empathy and respect for others.TransexualidadeAvaliação NutricionalComposição corporalQualidade de vidabachelorThesis
