The aim of this research was to analyze the effects of globalization on a small town and on the life of the inhabitants of the municipality of Ponta de Pedras, located in the estuary of the Amazon, state of Pará -Ilha do Marajó, and its repercussions on health, using the framework of Global health and Sustainability.Methods: Use of secondary data (DATASUS, IBGE, and census) and field study with use of questionnaires applied to local residents and interviews with public officers, besides field observations and photos.Results: The study revealed the profile of residents, their income sources and consumer habits in Ponta de Pedras.The municipality, in spite of its insertion in the globalization circuit, by the production of açaí and use of informational technology, as internet and social media access, doesn ́t present good life conditions and infrastructure for its population.Another finding was the access to a great variety of industrialized processed food, with alterations in the food pattern, mainly among young people in urban area, but maintenance of traditional food in the diet among older people and those living in the urban area.Açaí, tapioca flour, and fish continue to be the preference and the basis of eating habits of this population.Diseases that were predominant in middle size and large cities are also found as important in this riverine town.The productive process of açaí tends to respond to an international demand, as result of globalization, that changes urban space and way of life.As consequence, we highlight that globalization reflects on cities not necessarily in hands with sustainability
