ABSTRACT
A study aiming to characterize the morbidity of primary students was conducted in Cayo Hueso Community Council, Havana, in the 2008-2009 school year. Also, the relationship between the found morbidity and students´ academic results was to be identified. This was a complex cross-sectional combination of descriptive and analytical (case and control) study. The students from the first to sixth years were sample to study from six different primary education institutions from this community council. In order to meet our objectives, a questionnaire exploring the personal medical history of these students was applied to all mothers. Health disorders were identified. They could be related to the environmental conditions of their homes or their educational institutions and be risk factors for learning. Psychomotor developmental delay, inattention and hyperactivity were the health disorders most associated with these academic results. Recommendations are made.REFERENCES
