Objective: to characterize the health situation of a population in the Plaza de la Revolution municipality.

Material and methods: an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in the community belonging to Family Medical Clinic No. 4 of the University Polyclinic "April 19", in the period between February 2018 and February 2019, using the epidemiological method. With a sample of 249 inhabitants distributed in 90 families.

Results: of the total population studied, 134 individuals belong to the female sex, the predominant age range was 65-69 years, 57,01 % of the population presents risk factors. Among the non-communicable diseases, Arterial Hypertension predominated with 30,52 %.
