ABSTRACT
Introduction: Health Situation Analysis is an essential epidemiological tool for establishing projections and strategies in the health system since it makes possible to identify differences between both populations and social groups, favoring better targeting of interventions that lead to greater success in the provision of services and the satisfaction of the population.
Objective: To characterize the health situation in a population of Plaza de la Revolution municipality.
Material and methods: An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in the community belonging to Family Medicine Department No. 4 at the “19 de Abril" University Polyclinic, during the period between February 2018 and February 2019, using the epidemiological method. The sample was composed of 249 inhabitants distributed among 90 families.
Results: Of the total population studied, 134 individuals were female; the predominant age range was 65-69 years and 57,01% of the population presented risk factors. Arterial Hypertension predominated among the non-communicable diseases (30,52%).
