Resumen

Objective: To determine the Health Profile of the population that attended to an integral health campaign in time of COVID-19. Methods: It was an observational, descriptive and retrospective study. A non-probability sampling was carry out. Two hundred and eighty nine medical histories that accomplish the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included. Results: A 64.7% of patients were women and 35.3% were men. Moreover, the most predominant patients who referred COVID-19 were women (8.3%). The majority of patients who referred COVID-19 where among the ages of 15-59 years old (37%). The frequency of comorbidities were obesity (26.6%), hypertension (11.8%) and diabetes (3.8%). Dyspnoea (4.5%), myalgia (4.2%), cough (3.1%) and runny nose (3.1%), were the most frequent signs and symptoms. Only 19.7% of patients reported vaccination against COVID-19. Respiratory (26.3%), musculoskeletal (25.3%), endocrinology (12.1%), cardiovascular (11.1%) and infectious (11.1%) were the most frequents pathologies among patients. The presence of No Comorbidities was significantly associated as a protective factor (p = 0,014; IC 95 [0,208-0,853]; OR = 0,421). On the other hand, obesity (p = 0,010; IC 95% [1,228-5,161] OR = 2,518) and dyspnoea (p = 0,000; IC 95 [4,052-22,980]; OR = 9,649) were significantly associated as risks factors. Conclusions: A predominance of women among the population was found. Obesity was the most frequent reported comorbidity. Respiratory pathologies were the most common referred. The absence of any comorbidity shows a protective association for COVID-19. On the contrary, obesity and dyspnoea increase such association.
