ABSTRACT

Objective: to identify the main factors of risks and damages to the health of a health area of Cerro municipality, Havana.
Methods: a descriptive, retrospective, cross-sectional study was carried out in a clinic of the Teaching Polyclinic “Antonio Maceo”, in the Cerro municipality, from September to December 2017, to a population of 101 individuals grouped into thirty families, with the aim of identifying the main risk factors and damage to the health of the members of the families under study.
Results: it was observed that most of the families are small and nuclear, in stages of formation and extension. The population is relatively young, with an apparently adequate standard of living, although there is a significant number of people who consume alcohol and tobacco. On the other hand, air pollution and the presence of insects were identified as environmental factors to be taken into account in the health analyzes of the population under study.
Conclusions: the main risk factors identified in the community studied were those related to lifestyles, socioeconomic and environmental, represented by the consumption of tobacco and alcohol, regular socioeconomic level, air pollution and the presence of mosquitoes. Most individuals are located in the dispensary group II, given the presence of at least one risk factor in almost all individuals.
